I all fairness I'm starting to amass an alarmingly large airsoft arsenal since I started getting into that mere months ago too xD . Guess I'm a pretty hardcore hoarder :p .Muirium wrote: ↑17 Mar 2021, 16:12Takes a special kind of reviewer to hold on to everything he tries… mind, he's come to the right place!
We're all waiting for the great Chyros Keyboard Sale ahead of you. That's the best kind of help there is.
Maybe then you can reward yourself (and us) with that Libertouch. One out: one in!
Never covered a Libertouch though. I think someone offered me one at one point but I can't remember what became of it (never got it, at least). I don't know, it's so hard to keep track of everything now xD .

This has me wondering if you're a GBB, electric or springer kind of guy.
My Libertouch is due to arrive tomorrow. If the pain from the whole in your otherwise robust video catalogue grows too great, message me. I'm in the U.K. but I'm sure we could arrange for you to spend some time with it.

AEG is more practical, GBB is cooler. I mainly like to just toy around with them to be honest, so I go for the really realistic ones. I especially like the shell-ejecting ones, and I generally don't go for things that are practical in the field xD .
Ah, thanks for the offer mate, but I very much try to steer clear of loan boards. But thanks anyway .

Nerf Arena Blast was actually my favourite lan party FPS in its day.
Behold those 90s as all get loose 3D accelerated graphics, which I’d run silky smooth on my TNT 2. That was before Newton discovered GeForce you see.

Man after my own heart.
Was your favourite FPS? The high bar it set is still there today in my mind!Muirium wrote: ↑19 Mar 2021, 16:14Nerf Arena Blast was actually my favourite lan party FPS in its day.

I now realize I've unconsciously done the same. I now have 50ish keyboards. Seriously, I still am going to repair and sell most. I just can't help but buy KBs at good prices.Reshala wrote: ↑16 Mar 2021, 01:49Go-Kart wrote: ↑14 Mar 2021, 16:36It was only a few weeks ago when I first started being interested in old keyboards.

Since i wanna build a german keyboard channel for me i would say x amount, since i want to be able tocover a wide variety.
In my case it is more then enough to have a single keyboard to work, game or whatever you would need a keyboard for.
But i think as someone who is not only looking at keyboards as a tool to type on, but rather apreciate the beauty of some of the vintage retro looking keyboards, i would say to have somekind of open shelf just like a book shelf full of antiquity would be enough.

I think I have around 20, but I have already lost track even at that low figure. You guys are out of control..
That is how I knew to stop. When I could no longer answer this question.

The limiting factor is Weimar-like price inflation. For example- just this calendar year alone people have gone from trying to get $200 for Pingmaster to $400 and now people are looking to get beamspring money for Model Fs and Lexus money for beamsrpings... So you'll reach an inflection point where you've acquired all of the interesting things at keyboard prices and the cost of your next keyboard is more than at least one of the cars you've owned at some point in your life and you're now talking about decisions between a keyboard and a child's college fund...

I'm at somewhere between 100 and 200 keyboards now....I....think...
I keep meaning to write up a document describing the relevant features of each board. Partly for the pleasure of doing so ( I'd have to record which keyboard was used to type the description of what board too!) But things have gotten in the way, like the unspecified ailment of unknown origin...
