I also own mechanical keyboards, one for work, one for home. But I never understood why one would own that many. I'm thinking of replacing my full size at home with a TKL, but I'm going to sell the old one afterwards. Why keep more than you need? I get that you want to customize but I don't understand that some people apparently like to choose their keyboard according to their mood.

I don't choose according to my mood. The new one is the main one, the rest I just keep and put on shelves(but if only I invested in proper displays) and that's kind of it...

Then I see even less of a point in owning that many.

It has no point. I think I also have something emotionally missing inside of me.

I also can't really easily switch keyboards, when I have to type on my MacBook I feel... Weird...

Going from 4mm of travel to around 1mm is definitely bound to feel weird
