I think Ive come to the conclusion that "end game" is when I run out of money.

Tastes change, but atm my endgame is a Topre Realforce 87u with BKE heavy domes and KBDFans sliders in the Norbaforce housing with galaxy console powder coat with Amazing Chocolatier caps. I've gotten ahold of everything, just waiting on the Norbaforce. Endgame+ will be a matching Realforce 23u.

Glad you posted something regarding end game! I do have similar questions for all the MK lovers out there.
Agree with @LatrFlex and I do think end game will take some time to "complete" if it ever will :p I tend to get pretty greedy myself :p Layout - probably the most important - I love 60% but sometimes I crave those arrow keys - so a keyboard 64-71 keys layout would be it. Switches - probably really important - really digging the BOX Thick Clicks right now. BOX Navy in particular. Aesthetics + Quality - keycaps, case (material, weight, etc), artisans, cable, LEDs - Huge artisan fan here, don't know if I will ever have an end game for Artisans. Would definitely want a cohesive theme for these.
Never ending criteria for an end-game keyboard for me, perhaps it will change, perhaps it won't.

If their anything like the Jade they are pretty loud, but much deeper sounding than a blue.

End-game shoud be every single thing you wanted accomplished:
- Favorite switch
- Favorite layout, either by size, programability or typing layout
- Favorite Case, by Color, material or inclination
- Favorite lighting or no lighting at all!)
- Favorite keycap, by material, color or profileyou want
- Favorite cable, color, lenght, coil
- Favorite artisan
All these little things make your board your own.

I have like a 900$ dollar budget and just got gmk modern dolch, so I’m good on keycaps. I also have my mat and coil. I know I am a disgrace to keyboard enthusiasts, but I don’t like thock. It’s ok I guess. I luv those smooth clacks like alpacas. However I still don’t know which linear should I get; linear gang btw. Also, I have a variety of keyboards to choose from like the mode 65, Vega, and Keycult No. 1/65. (Yes, I also prefer 65% most) But, I hope people in this discussion have more experience on what I want. I know it’s based on opinion, but I don’t knowwww. Can anybody please help me decide.

TrumanKimTbh my favorite board would be de KBDFANS KBD67 hotswap (got it in red) with ZEALPC Orange Healios (Silent Linears) and these babies are really fun and quick to type on.

Once my daily driver keyset is complete, I'll probably back off of buying keys for a while.

I do intend to eventually pick up another GMMK-TKL and one of the full keysets as my work keyboard.

My keyboards are pretty much the way I like them.
I collect keycaps because I like how folks take the time to make something other wise invisibly utilitarian worth paying attention to.
So I don't think I'm going to see endgame on my collection so long as folks keep making sets I think are worth keeping.

Backlit MT3 WoB and volume keys
I am looking for a new set of ABS doubleshot switches and key caps for my Ducky One 3. Just found the MT3 WoB and I really like the looks of them, but I would need some volume key caps and would like them to be backlit. Are there volume key caps available for the MT3 WoB? Will there be a backlit version of the MT3 WoB? https://drop.com/buy/drop-mt3-white-on-black-keycap-set/details?defaultSelectionIds=965854#details

Nintendo's Family BASIC Keyboard?
Hi, I just got my first personal Drop keyboard a week ago (High-Profile ALT) and I'm loving it so far. Tried a few different keycaps and decided to my shock that I don't actually like how MT3 feels and went back to OEM profile. Anyway, I've been looking at the keycaps that are available and while many look cool, none of them really speak to me. Then I realized what would: Keycaps styled after the Nintendo Family BASIC Keyboard, used with the Famicom (NES in the U.S.) Disk System to teach programming. It's kind of generic, but the Japanese and gray-and-red color scheme would be perfect. The arrow and function keys would have to be shrunk to standard size, but I think it would really look good, especially if Drop released beige casings to go with it. Would this be of any interest to anyone else? Or have I completely missed a keycap set that would hit this mark?

Switch Marketing Terms: What to Know and What to Ignore
If you’re just now stepping into the world of custom mechanical keyboards, or trying to expand your switch catalogue for upcoming builds, all of the phrases you may see on a switch sales page can be confusing. Where more seasoned keyboard veterans might scoff at me for making a claim like this, I can assure you that even after having purchased thousands of switches myself I still come across new, strange ways of vendors trying to sell me switches. While I don’t have the space here to go through every single one of the quirky selling gimmicks I’ve seen over the years, I figure it might be worthwhile to give a loose guide to help people out. So, in this article I’m going to cover the things that you need to both look for and ignore when buying your next set of switches! Type and Manufacturer Image Credit: @BMa1 While this may seem an incredibly obvious suggestion to be made as something to look out for it, it isn’t entirely without merit.

I saw what seems to be to me a fitting meme- the scene from the matrix with the statement that has entered the consciousness 'there is no spoon' being replaced with 'there is no endgame'. (I can't find the GIF right now, unfortunately)
For me, personally, I just like to experiment and create and collect- so I don't even know what an 'endgame' keyboard would look like that would squash that desire for the process, rather than a physical item.
So I guess my questions is- what is endgame to you? Or is it just something that you'll know when you see it? And why is it your endgame?
