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.

    lol in a nut shell, I bought one I really wanted, enjoyed it and said never again because it just didn’t feel worth spending that much. The experience is great but not $700 great. Then the original keyboard I wanted but gave up on because there was pretty definitive information from the creator saying there wouldn’t be a second run, suddenly did a second run. So I went for that one and said I’ll stop buying keyboards. Here we are today.

      That’s fair. The only board I would consider doing something like that is maybe the Cyberboard one day. Always thought that one was cool as shit
