It was an aisle in a store, there were PCBs plates, loose switches for testing, some strange fully brown switch (felt nice) tangerines that felt excellently scratchy the whole way down, like two pieces of wood sliding against each other. I saw a deal that looked too good to be true on some sort of open box 1800 layout.

I had a dream about keyboard shopping. I should take a break.

Thanks for reading.

I've had a dream about keyboards, too. I built this really cool small keyboard, and I was devastated when I woke up and it wasn't on my desk.

Same happened with me lol

I'm still trying to remember what it was like so I can get my literal dream keyboard, but I can't remember

Its terribly sad, especially because the keyboards in your dreams, are well, your dream keyboards.

Haha, I've had multiple dreams about keyboard when I was first getting into it, I dreamt of a brand new kind of switch, it had a dark blue upper housing and a black lower which were both made of shiny plastic, kind of like Lego. The shape of it, when viewed from above, in the shape of a diamond.

Good dream.I dreamt that the rattling of the space bar would could not fix. That was too painful.

Funnily enough I also had a dream that at least “involved” a custom keyboard to a certain extent.

I was in my fathers room and had noticed a custom keyboard in some weird layout, likely a specific job use layout. My dad doesn’t work in a field that’d require that, so I had never “seen it before” even in my dream body.

I remember testing 2 of the stabilizers and everything, and they were pretty solid (enter had a tiny bit of rattle, and the right shift had none).

Very weird. The dream had nothing to do with keyboards, and that was only a small part, but that’s all I can vividly remember about it.

I remember dreaming of getting a Purple Mammoth 75 as an installment... after I already spent my money for a Mr Suit a week before. Panicing mentally on how i can even get the money to pay it.

Then woke up luckily... i have mixed feelings on that dream

Those do look pretty sweet, and I'm keeping an eye out for the 1800v2 myself.
