Houston, We Have a Keyboard Problem

So apparently I’ve crossed some sort of invisible line from ‘enthusiastic hobbyist’ to ‘person who needs an intervention.’ Elena walked into my office yesterday and just started laughing. Not the good kind of laugh either - the kind that says ‘I married a man who owns seventeen mechanical keyboards and counting.’

Houston, We Have a Keyboard Problem

In my defense, they’re all different! This one has tactile switches, that one’s linear, this beauty over here has hot-swappable keys… okay, even I’m hearing how ridiculous this sounds as I type it. But you can’t just have ONE good keyboard, right? That’s like saying you can only have one good pair of shoes.

The floor organization attempt

The real problem started when I tried to ‘organize’ my collection this afternoon. What began as a simple shelf rearrangement turned into me sitting on the floor surrounded by boxes like some sort of tech hoarder. Elena documented the whole embarrassing scene, naturally. I think she’s building a case for when she stages the intervention.

The evidence speaks for itself

For the record, I only bought ONE keyboard this month. The other three were… research. Yes, research. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go explain to my wife why I need ‘just one more shelf’ for my ‘collection.’
