This is very quickly becoming a very expensive hobby...
Bottom is my first, a GMMK Pro with Gateron ink black V2 switches. And just yesterday I received the Keychron Q5 Pro with Keychron's own banana switches that I'll be using at work

Now use these two until they actually need replacing.
You have two functional keyboards. You don’t need another. Don’t produce more e-waste.
I have no plans to buy any more boards anytime soon. I'm not a huge fan of the taller keycap profile of the Keychron, but I'll give it some time before considering different keycaps
If you like the look and feel of the SA profile but don't love the height or ABS material, check out KAT. It's the endgame profile for me
I really like the look of MT3 keycaps, but not the price…
OSA and SA profile keycaps just give me the warm and fuzzies inside.
Slander and lies!
I like to give my keebs away as gifts. It allows me to keep up with the hobby, share my passion with friends/family, and hopefully prevents them from buying cheapo keyboards that are more likely to break. I'm all about reducing waste, but there are ways to do this while still pursuing the hobby!
