Tl;dr: found a new, great hobby, have spent a lot of money on keyboard and accessoires.
• I have so many keyboards now:
- Realforce 87UW 55g (typing on it right now, i *love* it)
- 3 x SSK (2, 1 NIB in the mail)
- Filco TKL with a mixture of different MX switches like mainly Whites and Greens and some Clears
- 2 x 60% FaceU replica PCBs, and one case
- 2 x 101 key Model Ms, one NIB (and yet not opened)
- a chopped G80-11800
- Model F AT (which i cleaned, and used for about 1 hour typing on it without being attached)
- a 3278 beam spring which has to be restored
- and an undefined not cleaned Alps keyboard
→ all that in 12 months
• Endless group buys: as soon as i think i don't need anything else a new interesting group buy happens! Sometimes i get packages or shipping notices from things i bought i don't even remember anymore. It is a little bit like christmas all the time.
• I fell in love with artisan caps! Those caps keep the keyboard hobby going on, and if i don't need another keyboard anymore or found my - temporary - Holy Grail, the keyboard could be even better with just one for example Click Clack cap - which is for me the final touch on every keyboard.
• Deskthority is the first internet forum were i do post and participate (a little bit), and not only lurk like on all the others i am registered since years. Well, i was/am active on 4chan, but i think that does not count as a 'normal' forum. I am also active on Geekhack, but not that much like at DT. I never got into Reddit, i tried it so many times in the last years, but something is preventing me to be more active there too.
• The DT spy is my frontpage of the internet
Sometimes the DT spy is slow, and when there is nothing happening, i'll check the GH spy. But the GH spy is too fast, sometimes it is just a fraction of what is posted there in one day.My keyboard related to-do list for the next year is:
- restoring the beam spring keyboard (someone has a spare ENTER cap?)
- building a TKL keyboard with the DT GON PCB but a custom case (huhuu matt3o?)
- sorting almost 2Kg of Round 5 caps
- getting more Click Clack caps
...and many more things!
