    Get a home loan, "buy" the home, then take a loan out against the house you just bought. The higher the interest the better :thumb:

    I don't need to take out a loan... yet. I only spend half my pay on keyboards this week. You have to have some limits. ;P

    Difference being that our mortgages are tied to us and not the house.

    I only have two keyboards.

    WTF.

    I'm working on a 3rd and another HHKB so it won't be quite so shameful in a couple of weeks!

    Haha I have 3 but want to sell 2 of them :lol:

    I'll forever keep my WASD with browns (since it was my first :blush:), but I want to sell my Rosewill w/ reds to get a WASD TKL w/ reds when that comes out. I don't really likes blues all that much, so I might keep it because it was a cheap board or sell it and just not buy another blue board.


    Random thought: I wish Leopolds didn't come with a non-standard space bar size, it's really the only thing negative about them. The new 700 series looks really nice, is cheapish and comes with PBT keys and I like PBT keys.

    I will never sell my Filco with browns, my girlfriend bought it for my 25th birthday.

    On and it is covered in aluminium caps :D

    I have no need for it, I don't plan on killing my two Leopold keyboards. :p

    Plus it's at my place of work, and our rule of thumb, if it's beige or white, time to get rid of it. :thumb:

    True, I will conceed you make up for the quantity with quality. You could have bought like 3 keyboards for the cost of the scarface keycaps.

    I only really use 2 of my keyboards, my Pokers. My G80-0499HAU is XT and I don't have such computers so I can't use it if I wanted to and I don't use my G80-1813HFU because Dolch is too pretty to touch it. LOL. The other one is a WIP right now... still need to get a few special switch and some other little details, but it will hopefully be stunning once I finish the custom plexi case for it.

    For me it is all about quality, I'd rather have a few really nice boards than lots of crap ones :p

    I have a new desk in a new office that needs a keyboard....

    For now I am fine with my two boards. Might get a mech numpad in the future and mod it to hold different switches... with matching keycaps off course. :D

    So one switch for the main pad and a mixture of black, brown, blue, red, clear and greens around. With keycaps in matching colours. :rock:

    Honestly I like to get down to 2-3 keyboards, sounds dumb because I already have 3 but I want 3 solid keyboards. I have one solid one right now, the brown WASD. I'd like a TKL with reds (most likely a WASD, maybe a CM) as my second solid keyboard and then a small 60% sized keyboard with reds or browns as my third solid board.

    I'm not hating on my Rosewills one bit, they are a great board and I'm super glad I bought them. Buy those two boards allowed me to test reds and blues so I didn't buy a high end board only to find out I didn't like the switch (blues in my case). However I'd like TKL sized one for "gaming" and a 60% sized one that I can take with me/use with my laptop.

    No, not yet... but I have got some fairly obscure Cherry stuff like doubleshots coffee and cream colorway set on ebay. Could be worth a house in South Korea for all I know lol.

    I bet that they are nice :)

    The scarface caps will never make it to eBay.
