Do you have anything resembling a "daily driver" or even a small handful of them, or are you constantly rotating?

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated."

Neither high-quality Alps blues switches nor pristine Omnikey 101s are impossibly rare. It took me a few years but I eventually got both of those and with my soldering iron I created a near-perfect Franken-board.

I know, but people price them like they are. It isn't easy being too poor for one...

No, I have to rotate constantly; I have to work quite far ahead sometimes. Although I've been using a ZKB-2R at work for over two years now.
