I started with a TKL with Outemu blue switches just to see what the hype was about, then moved to Anne Pro 2 with Gat browns. Ortholinear made sense so I got an XD75 followed my a Planck after getting curious about 40% boards. Now I make my own from printed PCBs and soldering, custom programmable firmware, and my own custom key map. I now use a split column staggered 34 key board with hand dyed keycaps and custom aftermarket switches. I own 7 boards now and have plans for at least 2 more and a partial split for gaming. linkfedilink
