Why multiple keyboards? (self.mechanicalkeyboards)

So, I have a 100% Keychron Q6 that I've changed the switches and caps on, and it's been treating me very well!

I've had the urge to build another (TKL) board to take up less space, and maybe have some different switches that are less for productivity and more for gaming.

What do you guys build/ keep multiple boards for? Work/ Play/ etc?

Personally, I build boards to try out the different sizes (TKL, 75%, 65%, etc.), to find out what I like best, without hampering functionality. Then I just end up rotating between my fave ones.

I think this is my approach too. I'm going to pick up a Zoom TKL soon (having only ever had 100%) because this still gives me the F keys as well as arrows. Good first step for me.

I hope you enjoy using the TKL, @root
