Maybe it was a purchase, maybe an experience? What did you treat yourself to?

I got a mechanical keyboard after researching a ton on which one I wanted. second-hand, so I was a bit restricted to what was offered. I'm getting a Keychron V5 Max, which I'm then going to mod with some new keycaps, a tape-mod and possibly filling it up with foam. The YouTube channel Hipyo Tech has been on the top of my YouTube binge list the last few weeks.

    Damn, that's a nice treat. I'm no purist but, wow, typing on a good switch/keyboard combo is a real comfy joy. I love blue switches, or the buckling spring ones from the old IBM planks. I tried a friends 25-different-switches try-out board and found out that there might be switch types I like even more! Maybe I'll look around again if this Ducky One (3) keyboard ever dies, but I wasn't counting on that happening :)

    Just the ones that come with it, for now... I'm watching the online second hand market place of my country for offerings of switches, as I don't want to spend too much. And it's better for the environment, too! I've heard pretty much all keycaps by the HMX brand are good, so that's what I have a search alert for.
