Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

    Mechanical keyboards. Picked up a keychron for cheap. Decided it was too loud, decided to change the switches. Then the keycaps. Now I’m ordering barebones keyboards and artisan custom keycaps. This shit is an addiction.

      True but it feels so good to type on these things! Got a NOS Hi-Tek with space invader keys a few weeks ago that blew me away and now I really need to resist seeing what else is out there.

      I’ve had 3 boards.

      Atrix Sniper Keyboard. $25 at GameStop, resoldered switches to upgrade it from Outemu brown to red

      Then later I bought an white rk61 with blue switches, put a stronger spring inside the switch on the spacebar (why not?)

      And then of course I had to get a $10 keyboard at the thrift store (Punkston TH61S, unbranded optical yellow)

      edit: I also spray painted the plate blue on the RK61
