I just received a Strix Scope II 96, and I feel this might be the sweet spot in terms of value.
I’ve hit the wall of diminishing returns with other hobbies ( IEMs in particular), where I know I’m getting 95% of the experience spending 5% of what is labeled as top-of-the-line.
What am I missing with this keyboard, that I could have with an unlimited budget?
And to have a broader discussion, what do you consider end-game?
To me, as I’ve come to realize, is finding the right keycap set. Especially as my favorite profile is XDA and all the cool ones are either Cherry or SA.
This hobby is often buying crazy expensive stuff online. This is boring and lame.
I got a second breath with this hobby when I started designing my own PCB, having custom plate cut and getting my own 3D printed case. Now I have half-G13 half-xbox controller keyboard, Gamecube controller keyboard, wireless model M keyboards etc …
