It is the same kind of autism that prevails amongst mechanical keyboardenthusiastshoarders.

I can understand wanting to own a nice keyboard and/or mouse, and maybe a couple spares, but when you own over a dozen of those peripherals, maybe it's time to stop and think what you are doing, realistically speaking you won't need a dozen of mechanical keyboards, you just won't live long enough to use them all.
I am gonna powerlevel here but I am a keyboard consoomer but I've been in the "hobby" for like 7 years so way before reddit turned it into a consoomer trend. I only have 4 keyboards so take from that what you will since I don't have a huge ass shelf.Keyboard collectors are some of the most frustrating consoomers to watch. At least for me. Like, the whole point of a keyboard is to be functional, yet these chucklefucks just want to buy more and more of them and then let them settle dust? And for what? They all perform identically and its not like these collectors really do much stuff that would wear out a keyboard quick.
Different keyboards do sound and feel different, this is not placebo like headphones are but there are just simple changes like how a plate is mounted or switches. like Banging on a can full of sand vs Banging on a can without sand both are different.
It is a hobby that is built on creativity, at the surface level of course you have redditors who consoom but past that you have people who actually design and get custom keyboards made, same goes for keycaps and even switches for the keyboards.
There of course is the consoomery stuff, Reddit is full of this since its just people who jump onto shit and roll around on the surface, a huge popular thing lately is those Pastle pink bitches on tiktok that have been seen in this thread before getting into keyboards.
but its also got large comunties in China and Korea that are also good and bad, Chinese are quite big offenders of consooming, those shelves you see full of Alices and Janes boards that cost 3k+ on the after market are almost always owned by Chinese.
But yea at the end of the day they are just keyboards, I enjoy them, I'll join a group buy for a keycap set every so often or buy an artisan cap from a creator I like.
