Saw a post like this on Reddit once and I thought some of the responses were quite interesting.

I collect all sorts of stuff from vinyl records and vintage game consoles to Harley-Davidson dealer t-shirts.

I'm curious about what some of you guys collect, the weirder the better :D

I do like the obsession with mechanical keyboards some people have, there are some really nice models out there.

I don't know why but I only have two keyboards in mind when I read your description: those weird Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboards and the IBM Model M15, I think the latter is quite desirable nowadays.

I have a plain boring Model M myself, it's an absolute tank and I love it.

The Model M sure looks really cool! I've 'ever used one, but it feel very retro (and I like retro stuff too) and the community generally agrees that they have really good switches. What do you use your Model M for?

Everything pretty much, the missing n-key rollover doesn't even really hinder gaming as much as many people say. It's just great to type on.
