Hope to get it cleaned by then ...

What should we bring to the "Best Keyboards 2012" party?

Looks good!
Would you have any switches that are not universally considered awful, but do feature something weird:
sharply increasing resistance after the activation point, as to 'block' bottoming out; imagining something like a Black Alps, only with the tactile and activation points moved down, and where the tactile point instead of being a wall to break through is more of a small wall that hits your finger immediately after activation?
Doesn't sound really clear, now does it.. Ehhhrm, something with an interestingly different take on key-action that is still semi-easily obtainable without emptying piggybanks?

I am currently trying to organize a way to attend that I can afford...Worst case, I could send a few things along with 7bit, if he doesn't mind.

7b, Alps are cool, but I'm guessing MrInterface has most of those already; so anything with special switches is awesome!
I'll try explaining my could-theoretically-be-ideal-switch again: a switch that has it's resistance increasing sharply after actuation, but not so sharp as to actually feel like bottoming out (that would be a very sharp increase in resistance).

Most of my Alps are.... Erm..... Let's say, they regretfully ceased to be in order to be able to share the mechanical keyboard experience....off wrote: 7b, Alps are cool, but I'm guessing MrInterface has most of those already; so anything with special switches is awesome!
I'm big on switches though. Last time I counted I've got 22 different kinds
Where it gets scary is when I multiply that number with 100 ( average number of switches on a board )

The Industrial Mini? It's the same. But gray/green.
I'm sure there are German military outfits in the same shade.
And DO NOT FORGET THE COINS!

10 different Cherry alone, 2 type Alps, 3 Key Tronic, 2x IBM, ... OK, maybe not.
This would be nice to see in real:
What where these for?
And those 2:

Hmm not sure if I want to go through all the trouble of deconstructing the datachair to have the precious go through travel to be fingered by a dozen guys with their FILTHY PAWS. 
But all other keyboards should be fine.

What kind of vintage switches do you have around MrInterface? I could bring some but I don't have anything really fancy so you probably have everything I have anyway.

Topre : I got a HHKB2 , I use it for work.
Someone else bring a realforce( mine vanished in my all consuming quest for switch try bags ), since those things are plate mounted and they make a big difference in Topre feel.
@off : I can give you some of my own keyboard boxes -> I just collected them when someone sent me a keyboard. I got a whole stash now that I don't really need so I finally got a chance to clear some of my attic!

Yeah, a silent one would be nice to be simulatored as well!
I recently purchased a hhkb lite 2. Wondering what that feels like. ( it's in the mail... )
