This is the coolest ‘board’ I have. It has the most unique features in my collection.

I don’t know what I’m looking at but I know it’s awesome why is it so different are there advantages to the shift and tab and caps keys.

I got the switches working on a modern keyboard build since they are essentially just ‘recoloured’ SKCC switches with minor differences (yes, recolouring isn’t a new concept). Here’s a cursed picture.

But no, there are zero advantages to this layout…it’s just weird to me lol

I completely failed with the spacing on this one, and it turned out the layout is not that usable…

Not exactly unique - but probably the most interesting board in my collection is an old “breadbin” Commodore 64 that’s been converted into a functional USB keeb.

I have a Rackmount MiniVan - a low profile tray mount Minivan case with a handle. Probably my most unique one for now, until I get my hands on @Dr.Doof 's PooPooPeePee Keyboard Carnival Round 3 in about a month or so!

Speaking of poo poo, this is probably my favorite board right now, my hhkb poo poo pee pee 3d printed by a friend, very bouncy, accoustically decent, and I love that color!

I’m quite proud of this Reuters, however, I wouldn’t use something like this as a daily driver.

(P.S.: I was very lucky with this one and managed to get it for a few bucks only which added to my excitement.)

Here’s a unique build I did that was fairly cheap but I ended up loving in the end. It was a G81-1000, but I put a G80-3000 repo PCB in it & painted the case grey. Used hyperglide Reds with 55g prog spring in them for the switches.

Lol yeah … that’s why I didn’t highlight the keycaps in the description should’ve responded when someone did, though in my defense I am waiting for metro r2. The keycaps are that hk brand, but I had bought em before knowing the story of the company and wasn’t about to just throw them out. Might be a bit heretical but I def am enjoying the feel of pbt at least compared to a set of gmk nines that I’ve thoroughly shined.

My wireless integrated QAZ, definitely my most coveted board. One day I’m gonna make the Apple Standard QAZ a reality.
