Saw a post like this on Reddit once and I thought some of the responses were quite interesting.

I collect all sorts of stuff from vinyl records and vintage game consoles to Harley-Davidson dealer t-shirts.

I'm curious about what some of you guys collect, the weirder the better :D

Apparently I collect keyboards (specifically split ones: you have 17-20 keys for each hands), I just love building them it feels like playing with Lego but you get a working tool after you're done! And you can program it however you like too, for "I need to find the perfect setup" people like me, this is the cherry on top.

I also have a few manga and a growing collection of Lord of the Rings related books, I just think this is really neat.

I do like the obsession with mechanical keyboards some people have, there are some really nice models out there.

I don't know why but I only have two keyboards in mind when I read your description: those weird Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboards and the IBM Model M15, I think the latter is quite desirable nowadays.

I have a plain boring Model M myself, it's an absolute tank and I love it.

The Model M sure looks really cool! I've 'ever used one, but it feel very retro (and I like retro stuff too) and the community generally agrees that they have really good switches. What do you use your Model M for?
