I thought it would be nice to document the keyboards I have and also the ones which I sold. I also wrote down my ideas for my future projects and thoughts about the keyboard I wanted to own and buy. The most post have pictures, or links to own picture threads. The next would be to move this list to the wiki at my own page.

Short information about me

Spoiler:

I am 19 years old. Two years ago, 2014, I was on the search after a keyboard. I never owned keyboard before, I used my whole life time a laptop. I decided to buy a mechanical keyboard, after a short experience with “gaming keyboards“, lurked a long time on r/mk.Then I found this community. From the three communitys this is for me the best, of course I use Geekhack and r/mk also, but r/mk (or better r/mm) only to sell stuff and Geekhack for groupbuys. I am at most interested in vintage keyboards. Sometimes also at custom builds, artisans are not so my thing, but there are some really nice ones out there. For me 60% keyboards have the best size, at a keyboard I use at most the 60% part and the num pad, so everything other is not necessary for me. My favorite keyboard is the IBM SSK. I have many switches that I like, for example: beam spring, buckling spring (model F and M), blue alps, Nixdorf Cherry MX Black. I like clicky switches with a light spring.
