This topic is meant for you to show off the current crown jewel of your collection. What is your ABSOLUTE #1 favorite board you currently own? That one board you are saving if your whole collection were to vanish except for ONE. Tell us a bit about it.
I’ll go first with essentially a repost of what I put in the “What is on your desk today?” thread.
Kinesis Advantage 2
Signature white top case with sound deadening
Stapelberg controller with USB-C panel jack
Stock New Nixies
POM plates on thumb clusters
GMK Nord (Been using Nord theme in all my editors since 2017 I think)
Mine would be my Seiya, it’s an HHKB housing made by some guy in Japan and there’s only 1 metal version to my knowledge. It’s such a unique board and feels great to type on. Second to that my Pro 1 most likely.
My Verne from @Zambumon
I will always appreciate this board and what it means to me. I also had it powder coated in a nice textured RAL 9001 Cream so it’s custom suited to my taste and pairs really well with warm saturated keycap sets.
It’s an FC660C, in a SirCheddar Kiki660C prototype case, with Andrea’s one-off, resin printed prototype URSA keycaps that he made so generously for me.
Seen this post earlier today & gotta be honest this is a super hard call for me. It almost feels like having to decide which kid of yours you love the most LOL! Though after thinking about it for awhile I’d have to go with my Hiney TKL One right now,
It is a flat out beautiful board, sounds great, & mine has a bit of the story behind it that makes it a little more sentimental than any of the other boards I own (I got it from Hiney himself after him & another friend of mine got me to get more involved in our local MKB scene). So that pushes it over my other boards right now. That said I do really appreciate all of my KBs from the most exclusive & expensive customs I have down to the regular widely available prebuilts I got. Not sure I’d be able to downsize my collection even if I absolutely had to!
It’s probably still my Bolsalice, as this was a board I really wanted and was a surprise gift last year from a friend. Now, my opinion might change if/when the Supermassive ever ships.
Right now it would probably be my JJW Moment in “dusk”.
Currently configured with a PP plate, YOK Red Holy Pandas (clipped Halo Clear stems for full travel), and GMK Frost Witch. The case color is impossible to capture on camera for me – it’s missing the purple overtones.
