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?

Also have the Q6. I would like to see what you've done if you feel like posting picture and details. I am looking to replace the stock gateron pro browns with either glorious pandas or u4t. Also have a 9009 colorway cap set on the way.

It's still pretty stock, I added 3mm of foam to the bottom near the back plate, swapped in some Zelios 67G and changed a couple cosmetic things like the accent keys and the volume knob. It's not the prettiest out there, but I'm happy with it. I also have a polycarbonate plate on the way incase I decide to swap the stock one.

The browns they come with are pretty nice, I just preferred the bump closer to the top of the key press, so I went with the Zelios

Looks nice! I like the hint of blue.

Thanks! I actually bought the whole blue set from Keychron (the one that comes with their blue Q6) but only ended up keeping the accent keys after trying it out, haha.
