So I've got 30ish boards. I've been in the mechanical keyboard hobby since 2008/09ish. And for the armchair psychs, I'm financially stable, it's a collection. I treat them as art just as much as tools. Of my boards, I've got about 10 unbuilt, as I like to really take my time building my boards. I create themes and try to build the entire board around said theme. For example, I have a pandemic-themed board. But it's for what was really popular during the time of the pandemic. That board is an R1 Navy Satisfaction 75 with a brass plate, original holy pandas, and GMK Mizu. It captures a time in the hobby that I really enjoyed and puts a smile on my face when I use the board. I've got a Boba Fett-themed board that I build in the color palette of my favorite bounty hunter. I purchased a damaged Geon Frog tkl from a friend, sent it off to cerakote with some GMK Boba Fett caps to color match and let the cerakote company go wild. I threw some Pines switches in and called it a day. That all being said. My boards rotate. Sometimes I'll switch it out weekly, sometimes things get buys and I use the same board for a month. I don't have a built board that I haven't touched this year, though. Even if I use it for just a couple days, I get a chance to remember why I built the board and reminds why I made the decisions for the build. Some frequent flyers on my desk are my NRD Kaze, Mira SE, HHKB (the first board I ever bought as a hobbyist), Safa TKL, Sat75, Prophet, CW88, Caerdroia, one off "Panda Korn", and my Tengu. Most of my boards have some sort of linear in them, ones that were built as typing boards tend to have light tactiles. Most of my sets are GMK, I like cherry profile and I embrace the shine. For upcoming purchases, it really depends on what I find. The most recent purchase was the AKB Caerdroia. I loved the two tone design, large weight unique weight, and the inclusion of USB ports on a daughter board. At the time of purchase, I was working in a private office and loved being able to throw a USB drive or a mouse adapter in it. I'm working from home now, and I still love it for its design and practicality. I tend to like to have unique switches in all my boards, with the exceptions being some staples like Zealios v1 and v2, Holy Pandas, and the variety of Cherry MX Blacks (vints, retools, and hyperglides). I tend to gravitate towards 60%s and TKLs, I don't really like 65s at all, they feel unbalanced to me. I've standardized my layout on my boards. I like tsangan with split right shift and split backspace. So much that I do it on my TKLs which some see as sacrilegious. At the end of the day, I build what I like and what I think looks cool. I like to give keyboards as gifts to my friends and loved ones. I think they are super cool in that regard. I have a toddler who has a custom that I built because it reminds me of her. As far as grails, there might be two out there. One is the Bacca70 designed by Chewwy. I really like that it takes a 60% an
