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

    When I first bought my keychron and I got into watching all these videos and everything I felt like I was going to start falling down a rabbit hole too. But keyboards are expensive, and every time I type on mine I get more satisfaction out if it than I’ve ever gotten from a keyboard in my life. Glad to have learned what I need from they keyboard community, but, once you’ve got your setup, why keep dumping money into it?

      I imagine it’s the fear of missing out on something even better. Think about it like this: If switching to this new board was so good then it’s entirely possible that there could be one that’s even better, so you might as well try as much as you can since there are effectively unlimited combinations of parts.

        I guess if you have unlimited disposable income, but for me improving my experience significantly enough that I notice how pleasant is every day is plenty.

        Not being able to enjoy what you have because something better might exist isn’t a hobby, it’s neurosis.
