I want to want new keyboards but I can't move on from this one (lemmy.world)

Unless something very different comes along I don't think I'll be moving on from this keyboard.

Ryeworks M0110 hotswap keyboard with solenoid, PCB and FR4 plate both with flex cuts, Kailh box pro deep sea whale tactile(what a mouth full), staebies stabilizers and cherry profile double shot pbt keycaps.

The amount of flex, the tactiles with the solenoid, the layout, everything is exactly as I would want. I keep looking and browsing different keyboards, switches, stabilizers and keycaps but I'm just not seeing anything I feel like buying and trying.

I was using one with high profile, dark colored abs keycaps but just wasn't satisfied, tried a light color one with higher contrast caps and it was a huge improvement. I then went to a split left shift and having a function key on that side made it perfect for me.

I guess I solved my desire, which should be a good thing right?

I will never understand how anyone can use a layout like this

As someone who used to be enamored with huge keyboards I don't get it myself, I tried it because I thought it was neat and next thing I know I'm just stuck here.

I use that layout. Instead of a huge keyboard I use mod layers. Very handy and I prefer it. I get why others wouldn't.
