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?

That's a good point about wanting some variation from time to time. I think that describes my approach as well. I had been trying different liners recently but ended up going back to my tactiles because I liked them more overall. It's not that I didn't like the linears for certain things, but with only one board, I wasn't going to keep switching back and forth when I wanted to game vs type etc

Yes exactly. I mostly do home office and recently switched to Kailh Box navies on my main keyboard. It's great for typing but don't want to game with it. And taking off all keycaps and switches is not only tedious but also not great for longevity I assume.
