Keyboards

All my keyboards Time for an update on my keyboard collection! After part 1 I’ve expanded the collection and gotten rid of a few. Top left - YMD09 macro pad aka the zoom killer. Top - KBD75 - Gateron Browns, I’m typing this post on it right now. Middle - Winkeyless b.87 - Gateron Browns with Raindrop Round 2 on, this was my previous daily driver. Bottom - Iris - Zealios 67g and Gateron Browns, this is a keyboard I really should get used to using but just can’t. Right - Fourier - Gateron Blues, I need to put keycaps on and start using it. I really love everything about keyboards, they’re such an important part of my daily life as a DevOps Engineer. It’s taken me a while to get used to some of the layouts.

I’ve got quite an expensive hobby at the moment - keyboards. Custom keyboards. At the moment I have 4 keyboards in my office: Poker 2 ISO Ducky Shine 3 TKL ISO NERD 60 Winkeyless B.87 Ducky Shine 3 TKL ISO (MX Brown) #

Ever since I bought a Pure Pro I’ve sort of been obsessed with the world of mechanical keyboards. As a developer I want to make sure I’m happy typing on something day in day out. It’s also very important that I can type fast and accurate so I have to be 100% happy with a keyboard. I’ve recently sold my Pure Pro which I was pretty happy with as it’s just not for me. I bought a Poker 2 ANSI (American layout) as a temporary replacement to it which I’ve been more than happy with. It currently has Raindrop keys on and a Tex acrylic case, it’s the nicest keyboard I’ve ever had the pleasure of typing on.

I’ve gone a bit mad on keyboards recently, mostly due to geekhack and r/mechanicalkeyboards. I’ve got the following boards at the moment: Ducky Shine 3 - ISO - Brown switches - This is a 75% keyboard, it’s missing the number pad on the right side. It’s a great gaming keyboard and the keys feel nice and solid. This has white led backlighting which is quite nice, mines currently setup to pulse when a key is pressed.
