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

one keyboard for each location is still within the realm of being reasonable. if i'm not mistaken, the Q5 Pro is hot-swappable. so if you ever get tired of those switches you can just swap them out instead of buying enough keyboards to make monkeys write hamlet within 15min.
Yeah the big draw of custom keyboards for me was trying different switches, so hot swap was a must. I already have more switches than I need. If I could do it over again, I would have first invested in a switch tester
