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

The key is to find something you absolutely love and refuse to cheat on it. 😁

A few years ago, I bought a few various cherry-mx boards, then an FC660C (home) and FC980C (work). Love them both dearly. You'd think they'd feel identical, and they almost do, but the 660C in particular is just so effing lovely to type on.

I don't claim them to be the best boards ever, and I do miss the noise, but I essentially decided I couldn't find enough things to complain about to even look at anything else, and that solved my problem before it got too out of hand. 🙂

Edited to fix typo.
