Feel free to point to other threads. I did a quick search and didn't find any.

If you are a business owner, don't tell us how many boards in the warehouse or on the floor for your employees... The question is really geared for end users and collectors.

Eclairz · « **Reply #1 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 06:08:29 »

I'd say 10 in my room, 1 in the office and 3 in the living room.

Surprising that I need to actually guide you to MW's poll about this.

Oh wait, the poll's closed. Never mind me then.

I own 6 keyboards with 2 or 3 more planned.

Only 3, oh wait 1 in post and one ordered... that's 5, plus numpad...

phillip · « **Reply #6 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 06:30:44 »

all my mech boards are filcos :/
1 fullsize black
1 fullsize brown (on the way, bought from isotopes59 here yesterday)
1 tenkeyless red (ordered from amazon this morning)
1 tenkeyless brown
1 tenkeyless blue

for rubber domes, I still have a logitech wave, logitech ultra-x, and other generic microsoft/logitech boards. I also have a wireless logitech keyboard for the wii

Just 3 so far, but only one is good and one seems to have gone lost, so one and a half, really.
Got two coming up within a week or so though, and god knows how many after that.

Only 1 mechanical so far... But this is getting scary.

bhtooefr · « **Reply #10 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 07:05:11 »

By switch type, counting laptops, not counting phones...

ALPS CM: 1
Cherry MX: 1
Beam spring: 1
Buckling spring: 4
Plate spring: 1
Scissor+rubber dome: 3
Rubber dome: 4 (including one with springs on top of the domes)
Whatever switches The Keyboard Company used on the Apple ][ Plus keyboard: 1
Whatever switches they used on the Apple //c keyboard (not the Alps oranges): 2
Really crappy Taiwanese linear switches: 1

So, that's 19. 15 if you don't count the laptops.

Oh... right... That's your avatar.

bhtooefr · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 07:14:32 »

Nope, not my avatar.

My avatar is a beam spring.

The Apple Keyboard II uses springs over domes.

Ekaros · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 07:16:26 »

Hmm, I need to get MX blues next, also looking on fake alps, then I can start collecting alps.

It does look kinda bad...

Geten123 · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 07:28:56 »

Buckling spring : 1
Cherry MX-Black : 2
Rubber domes : House filled with em.

Are you use the original 70g spring with the clears?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #20 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 07:52:03 »

The springs are original...but I believe they are 55g right?

RiGS · « **Reply #21 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 07:57:40 »

Clears activate at 55g, and 70g to buttom out.
Have you tried them with the red springs?

keyboardlover · « **Reply #22 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 08:19:58 »

Nope.

You're really picking up the phase, are you. Which keyboards have you ordered? The one with clears I remember but what's the other?

mrt88 · « **Reply #24 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 08:41:35 »

1 Model M and a shedload of rubber domes that somehow ended up with me

ML, got my ML keypad(Cherry's software is annoying btw) and other one ML Compact with some type of mouse...

G84 4400, I posted on other thread...

Got rid of my Xkeys though... Lost the price of shipping in process, but I'm not one who collects old machines...

dracaXL · « **Reply #26 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 09:21:22 »

I own two, as you can see in my signature (and not counting rubber domes). I will own five in total by the end of next year; just have to budget as I am only a poor student.

So, eventually, I hope to own:

Realforce 87UB _OR_ the HHKB 3 (when it comes out)
KBC Poker w. MX Red
PLU M-87 Otaku White w. blues

That should complete my journey, I think. To be honest, I am so happy with the feel of my MX Blacks after a month of use that I am loath to move to any other keyboard at the moment.

3one5 · « **Reply #27 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 09:30:02 »

Rosewill RK-9000
Noppoo Choc Cherry Mini
Cherry G81-7000HPBUS-2
8 or so rubber dome boards

Oh, and ordered a Leupold Otaku

bettablue · « **Reply #28 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 09:53:15 »

7 as of right now. 5 gray label model Ms, 3 - 1987s, 1 - 1989 and 1 - 1992 (one of the 87s is dead), 1 KB-8923 and a generic POS I'm getting ready to throw out. Plus I have another 92 model M that is supposed to be delivered in 2 more days.

Tony · « **Reply #29 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 10:27:38 »

4 mechanical keyboards: 3 browns and 1 model M.

4 or 5 rubber domes.

Also I got one MS ruberdome and have stored a few at my parents...

calavera · « **Reply #32 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 12:08:48 »

Including donor boards, I think about 7 or 8.

MahBoi · « **Reply #33 on:** Tue, 08 March 2011, 13:29:14 »

Just the ones in my sig, so 5 (6 if you count the one on my Thinkpad). A Filco red tenkeyless is on the way.

First computer was an Apple //c. 66 MHz? Bah, young whippersnappers. 1.020 MHz. (1.023 is the max speed, but every 65 cycles, the video system inserts a long cycle.) 128 kiB RAM. Single 140 kiB floppy drive. Aww yeah.

First computer I paid for... hrm. I want to say it was a ThinkPad R51e (before then, I used lots of hand-me-down computers), 1.4 GHz Celeron M, I think 768 megs of RAM. Nothing special.
