Let's talk about mechanical keyboards. A thread.
Some people collect keyboards. As I do with oh-so-many things, I take a wonderful hobby and turn it into a problem.
For example, I've made 2.5 Ergodoxes so far.
In my last job, I managed a DevOps team (don't get me started on naming). New hires could pick their own keyboards; I had an aray of four CODE keyboards, each with different keyswitches. I told you I turned hobbies into problems.
Yeah. I get nuts with keycaps too.
The next generation has little hope.
These days I use this. That's a Topre RealForce, weighted to 55g.
This is probably the worst keyboard I own; those are metal keycaps. It looks way better than it feels to type on.
I should go buy more keyboards.
Now, I'm no @cassidoo (who is amazing and deserves your follow), but I think we'd probably get along.
