dilbertprogrammer's mechanical keyboards collection

[dilbertprogrammer]

I took a week to create an online chronicle of my current mechanical keyboards collection in blog format.  (My apologies for the potato-quality images, as my phone was used to snap these pictures).  The keyboards are not presented in any specific order.

My goal was to provide a single image, summarized information (form factor, switch & keycaps), and then a brief blurb for each keyboard.

Please enjoy the blog entry for each of the (currently) ⌨ 51 total ⌨ keyboards I've posted, and feel free to leave comments, and/or send me any questions!  Be sure to click the "Older Posts" button at the bottom of each page to load the next page of keyboards.  There is also a Search form at the bottom, should you choose to use it.  I’ve put this site together to serve as a handy resource as well. 

Just remember, my opinion is presented along with the factual information! 

Many thanks to everyone in this great community being a part of my journey (via trades, discussion, etc)!

Thanks for looking, and keep on clacking m'friends!

That Das Keyboard II makes me very sad.

Why so?  Because of the keycap swap?  I still have the original keycaps!!!

They are safely stored away in a box, awaiting being seated on another keyboard, which is expected to arrive later this month!

Nice collection, just a little too new for my taste. Needs more vintage flavour

The 10th AE Realforce is such a nice board, even better that it's 55g

Hope you find your way around more old Cherry and IBM stuff, it's a real treat.

Thank you!  I enjoy both, but yes, my current collection is definitely more modern-heavy at this time.

The 10AE-55 is a treat for sure!  Typing this message on it right now!   


Thanks -- me too!  Always keeping an eye for nice vintage finds!  I enjoy both modern and vintage boards.


XMIT shared his collection with me yesterday.  So much retro goodness!

I'm still working on a nice way of sharing my collection. I've got about 170 boards, with about a 70/30 split of vintage and modern boards. Thanks for the shout-out!
