This is very quickly becoming a very expensive hobby...

Bottom is my first, a GMMK Pro with Gateron ink black V2 switches. And just yesterday I received the Keychron Q5 Pro with Keychron's own banana switches that I'll be using at work

I have the peculiar taste of wanting 104+ key and metal build(on the heavier side), so my tastes were always pretty specific making it a limited choice market. I am currently using a ducky legend but I ordered a Keychron Q6 pro yesterday.

An 8 year run with a keyboard is still quite the run.

I built my Q6 a few months ago as it's one of the only full-size ISO boards I could find. It's real nice.

That does make it harder to find your endgame board I'll admit.

Does that particular ducky have a steel backplate at least? I still have a 104 key Rosewill MX Brown board with a steel backplate on my secondary setup at work, and I can't deny that solid feel.
