Reply to comment by NoOne-NBA- in Akko 40 percent in the works. Aside from QMK, what do you want to see on it? by NatureAndArtifice

You see, thats the stuff that makes this whole topic so interesting imo. The way people have their personal preferences and make them actually work is just impressive while also playing around with different options and ideas.

That's why I don't consider endgame to be a permanent state.

Had you asked me, before I won that Dilly at the meetup, I would have told you I was perfectly happy with the keyboards I had at the time, both at work, and at home.
I would have told you that because I WAS perfectly happy with both setups...at that time.

At this point, those boards don't hold the same level of contentment for me anymore.
I've gotten used to new features I don't want to give up, particularly the split spacebar.
That one feature opens up all kinds of new pathways to explore.

If I may ask, how many keyboards do you own (both at home and work), and do you actually circle around between them or do you have a main one and the others are for specific situations or for the collection?

Sticking strictly to mechanical keyboards, I have 2 1800s, my 60% ortho, a 3x10 ortho I won at a meetup a few months back, and a hand-built macropad I designed.
I also have a 60% case I just received that will house my next custom build.

I use the two 1800s at home, on two different computers.
I use the 60% ortho at work, and have the macropad sitting on my desk there, mostly as a decoration.
Once I finish my next build, I will be rotating that one into primary use at home, and sell one of my 1800s.

I used the 3x10 ortho for a bit, just to play around with, and get some ideas from.
That board is what threw me down the "design my own layouts" rabbit hole.
It triggered a bunch of "what ifs" in my head, which ultimately led me to my current custom layouts.
