I want to want new keyboards but I can't move on from this one

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?

Then just keep it and stop buying keyboards for no reason.
Keyboards are a tool. You've find one that works for you, and now you're done. You win
It's not everyday I see ISO standard mechanical keyboard on the Internet. I love the fat enter key.
- I think this is the first time I've seen ISO with a US (or UK?) layout.
  
  US layout is ANSI (long horizontal enter key). This is a UK ISO keyboard, though this one isn't standardised (see where the control key is placed).
  
  I really dislike the fact that, in Europe, when you cross a border, the keyboard layout can be totally different.
- It's not everyday I see a Strafe avatar on the internet!
  
  I love stomping on gluttons
  
  e: wait, I know you
  
  You're probably the first person to tell me about Strafe. I used to play this game so much.
  
  You know me? :o
How the fuck do you f2 your army on this keyboard when you've got dark templars in your mineral line?!
- By pressing function+2, though in using TD instead of MO I do have to wait 200ms.. I like having F13-F24 on a third layer though.
I want something like this, BUT (Always there is a but...) with Fkeys and Arrow keys

Anyway, its gorgeous.
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.
Yeah, be happy you've found your true love 🙂

I wish I could try it out.... Looks nice.
I had no idea any solenoid keyboards were being made. Looks like a solid endgame right there.
Congratulations on settling on your endgame keyboard!

Once got my Moonlander and put on Dolch XDAs with O-Ring, I called it a day. Every now and then I've been musing about an Ergodash, but I just don't have a good reason to switch.
- Same with my Moonlander. Once I had it set up the way I like, there's not much to change, even though I get the itch sometimes.
  I can't imagine going back or using a staggered keyboard anymore tho, my fingers hurt just looking at this kb
I'm still using the same model M I bought about 15 years ago
How do you arrow key?
- FN+WASD does arrow keys for me
