Buying keyboards… I just had a moment where I made an impulse decision where I spent 200$ usd on one. It’s my 7th keyboard and I know it’s not gonna be the last. I’m not even a touch typer… Something weird is going on
I feel you. Fell into that rabbit hole for like two months, spent a ton of money on 5 keyboards, countless switches and caps and all of the little tools and accessories you need to build them. When I started to look into new keyboards before the last one I ordered even arrived, I knew it was time to quit this hobby lmao
I also learned a bit about keyboards while searching for the one I bought (Durgod Taurus, excellent for a ~100€ budget).
It led me to try the proper touch typing technique from https://www.typing.com/, it took a while to get faster than my previous technique but I can now type faster with much less effort than before. It’s worth the time investment if you do stuff with lots of typing, or if you just like typing fast
I also own mechanical keyboards, one for work, one for home. But I never understood why one would own that many. I’m thinking of replacing my full size at home with a TKL, but I’m going to sell the old one afterwards. Why keep more than you need? I get that you want to customize but I don’t understand that some people apparently like to choose their keyboard according to their mood.
I don’t choose according to my mood. The new one is the main one, the rest I just keep and put on shelves(but if only I invested in proper displays) and that’s kind of it…

I ordered parts and built my own, super fun hobby! The custom keyboard scene is very fun

Then I see even less of a point in owning that many.
