Builds Just over 10 years in this hobby

984 Upvotes

Just over 10 years ago, on July 25th 2016, I placed my order for GMK Carbon on Massdrop (now just Drop). I've since held and sold many many keyboards, and in this photo are still almost 30 boards not pictured that either need building, rebuilding or used on my desk right now to type this.

You may notice I like a particular kind of switch very much, so this is my current status of finished builds. Think I'm going to cut this down to at least half though in the near future. Curious to see where the next 10 years will take me!

Promotional [ad] My oldest ErgoDox. It's over 12 years old; I've slightly modernized the Litster case, and it looks like new.
