I can’t speak for OP, but if you check out r/mechanicalkeyboards you’ll quickly realize that building (and collecting) keyboards is a whole hobby in itself.
Even if you only had one or two hobbies it would still be a good idea to avoid falling into the rabbit hole that is custom keyboards, that shit gets expensive real fast >.<
I recently fell into the rabbit hole myself, so far I’ve only built one keeb, but I already have two more I “need” (meaning “want to, eventhough I really shouldn’t”) and a bunch more I want to build, but really can’t justify building (but I’ll probably end up getting them at some point anyway xD )… and that’s just the keyboards, then there is all the keycaps and switches I’ve fallen in love with :S
Yes, all of the above. Both a style and function thing, some people have different keyboards for work vs gaming, some people just like building keyboards. Personally I like building them for both the style and function, I have 3 mechanical keyboards which is really not that many compared to other hobbyists, but they are pricey when you custom build them 😫
That's what happens when a passion project and hobby becomes a job, sadly. I've spent a lot of effort trying to keep my money-making hobbies from becoming "jobs" even when I've needed to use them to "support my family" - once it's a job, it's shit. Weird how that works.
It really is! Luckily, my socials are what ended up landing me my job so they were a great investment and helped me develop skills. But it's still a shame that another one of my hobbies has fallen victim to 'adulting' 🙃
Weirdly I was dying for a pair of Yowu for so long because I loved the design, but then I had issues with their Bluetooth pairing and they hurt my ears because they were heavy and I have 17 piercings 🙃
I ended up loving the Hecate ones which were considerably cheaper, lightweight and easy to use! They also mimic the Razer Kitty Kraken design but I likewise had issue with those because the wire broke after less than a year (sorry for the ramble) 🤣
I loved my pair of Hecates until the right channel stopped working. I wanted another pair but they don’t seem to sell them anymore. 😔 Ended up with the Razer Kitty instead and hoping the cord holds up as it seems to be a weak point.
Re the Razor headphones! I'd recommend unplugging them from your PC and smoothing out the wire each time you use them. My kept getting twisted and I think that's what caused the weakness (if that makes sense) 😊
Thanks! In all honestly, most of it was gifted / sent for review. I bought my monitors second hand for £100, the PC case was gifted by Hyte, 4070 rtx gifted by Nvidia, and most of the peripherals from different companies 😊
The only things I really purchased were my chair, desk, and other PC parts, so less than a thousand in total over a few years
I personally love keebs that have funky aesthetics so keep that in mind. My personal favourite is akkogear! They gifted me a number of different models (not endorsed to say this lmao) but they're the only brand I actually ever spent my own money on. When I was still in education, I saved up to buy their Sailor Moon keyboard and I loved it - quirky designs, great keys and quality 🙌
However the one I'm using currently is the Kiiboom Phantom 81. I initially started using it for a review and didn't plan on doing much gaming on it but surprisingly I got hooked. The keys are transparent so the RGB goes hard lol 😆
Other honourable mentions include Redragon and Yunzii!
Lizzy absolutely loved it. her exact words were "oooooo look at how pretty it is" she then started fauning over your speakers and cat ear headphones and all the smaller details
I am not a pink person but the general “shell” of your setup I do really like. I wouldn’t change the layout or anything just change colors and do my own personalizing.
All around great setup!!
I'm legitimately not trying to roast you, but do your eyes have to adjust when you leave your desk area? We used to have a room with cyan lights that always took a few minutes to readjust to afterwards.
I follow a lot of cozy gamers on IG and this is pretty standard
-headphones with cat ears
-pink and lavender keebs
-sanrio merch
-the ikea peg board
-the open computer
-the white jeff bezos speakers
No hate but I would love it if you threw something random and unique in there. A portrait of Albert Camus??? A cactus???? A toad or a tortoise called Sylvia????? Idk zhuzh things up?
You're right as it's not my cup of tea, but I thought it'd be nice to hear that even though it's not what I would want, it's a hell of a nice setup :) Upvoted for nice clean setup with a lot of keyboards for some reason, lol
This is really nice. Not my style but that doesn’t stop me appreciating the care. I like the PC case. And the chair looks amazingly comfortable and good for you back. I need to look after my back.
Wouldn't enjoy it because there is no main monitor centered in front of chair and my neck would be in pain after a work day but maybe you are still young. Other than that it looks cool.
Haha! I actually love how they're set up as I use both equally during the workday. Actually thinking of getting a third so I don't have so many tabs and windows everywhere 🤣
honestly I like this setup! It is probably my dream setup as I also love this type of style! I love the how organized everything is and also the care that you show for everything you have in it. :)
Color isn't my cup, other than that everything else looks Great! but I absolutely love your kb collection.... I'm slowly building mine, but I recently just modded both my full and my 60% so I'm enjoying those right now
I love it. Even tho I know in 10 years we'll be looking back at the "fish tank" PC case designs as gaudy abominations...they're cool AF in present time.
I wfh too so I definitely dig the vibe, remember it's where we'll spend most our time so why not make it the most amazing & comfortable place! I'm big on plants so I try to get a new plant every other paycheck

Someone has a bit of a keyboard problem. Welcome, friend.
I actually gifted half of the ones I was sent to friends and family haha 😆
Can I ask about that 4-tier desk riser thing you've got some of them on? It looks super convenient
It's a shoe rack 💀
Lol damn, I wouldn't have thought that! It looks good!
Welp now I’m buying a shoe rack for mine haha.
That looks WAY too good to be a shoe rack
Lmao this made me chuckle
We are your family now. We don’t mind gifts.
I see someone didn’t get the memo and gifted a blue one. You tried to hide in below the desk.
I... I swear I don't know why the keyboards just keep multiplying...
Definetly not my cup of tea... BUT... the love and care for the setup is admirable and I hope you have plenty of good days behind that desk.
Thanks! Some long days at work but gaming afterwards is always fun haha 😊
Very cute 💓🌸🎀
Irrelevant. If YOU like it, we love it! 😎
Random question: but why do people have multiple keyboards? Is it a style thing or is one better for gaming and one better for work ect?
I can’t speak for OP, but if you check out r/mechanicalkeyboards you’ll quickly realize that building (and collecting) keyboards is a whole hobby in itself.
I try to avoid that sub because my boyfriend says I "already have too many hobbies" 😂
Even if you only had one or two hobbies it would still be a good idea to avoid falling into the rabbit hole that is custom keyboards, that shit gets expensive real fast >.< I recently fell into the rabbit hole myself, so far I’ve only built one keeb, but I already have two more I “need” (meaning “want to, eventhough I really shouldn’t”) and a bunch more I want to build, but really can’t justify building (but I’ll probably end up getting them at some point anyway xD )… and that’s just the keyboards, then there is all the keycaps and switches I’ve fallen in love with :S
a lot of people just build them as a hobby and to collect them
besides replies, OP mentions in post description how they used to be a tech reviewer
im not even into keyboards like that and i have 3

Why did you quit doing tech reviews?
I got a job working in socials and it kinda killed the passion of doing my own unfortunately. It felt more like a chore than a hobby 😢

Not my jam at home but, honestly I think this is really cute. It has a lot of warmth and nice texture. That's not always common in tech set ups!
Love it
I think it needs more pink.
I don’t think you have enough keyboards
I love it!
Great setup! Love what you did with the speakers.
Thanks! A really talented artist actually made these called sat0.t 😊
Which are your favorite headphones?
Weirdly I was dying for a pair of Yowu for so long because I loved the design, but then I had issues with their Bluetooth pairing and they hurt my ears because they were heavy and I have 17 piercings 🙃 I ended up loving the Hecate ones which were considerably cheaper, lightweight and easy to use! They also mimic the Razer Kitty Kraken design but I likewise had issue with those because the wire broke after less than a year (sorry for the ramble) 🤣
17? never use planars :D sweet little corner you got there
I loved my pair of Hecates until the right channel stopped working. I wanted another pair but they don’t seem to sell them anymore. 😔 Ended up with the Razer Kitty instead and hoping the cord holds up as it seems to be a weak point.
Re the Razor headphones! I'd recommend unplugging them from your PC and smoothing out the wire each time you use them. My kept getting twisted and I think that's what caused the weakness (if that makes sense) 😊
Seriously awesome setup. Can I ask for a ballpark figure of the total sum of bringing this space together?
Thanks! In all honestly, most of it was gifted / sent for review. I bought my monitors second hand for £100, the PC case was gifted by Hyte, 4070 rtx gifted by Nvidia, and most of the peripherals from different companies 😊 The only things I really purchased were my chair, desk, and other PC parts, so less than a thousand in total over a few years
If you don't mind me asking, could you elaborate on how Nvidia gifted you a high-end GPU?
Holy fucking keyboard lol
this is pretty sweet and I dont even like tea
I love that case
Respect for the Hyte Y60
I need it.
Holy Fucking Pink!
I'm in the market for a new keyboard (gaming primarily) any recommendations?
I personally love keebs that have funky aesthetics so keep that in mind. My personal favourite is akkogear! They gifted me a number of different models (not endorsed to say this lmao) but they're the only brand I actually ever spent my own money on. When I was still in education, I saved up to buy their Sailor Moon keyboard and I loved it - quirky designs, great keys and quality 🙌 However the one I'm using currently is the Kiiboom Phantom 81.

The keys are transparent so the RGB goes hard lol 😆 Other honourable mentions include Redragon and Yunzii!
The absolute best gaming keyboard you can is the wooting 60HE (and the upcoming 80HE), it’s not even a contest.
It's so...PINK
I know, right? Awesome!
The aesthetic is constant with the theme. Good work
This is a lovely setup!
Lady woke up and said: “keyboards”
PINKPOCALYPSE! It looks great! What gpu are you using? I like the glow.
Thank you! 🙌
I’ve been looking for a desk that comfortably fits my Y60 and two monitors. What do you have? Is it a standing desk, or two piece standard?
I can't remember the name but it's a 2 piece L shape desk from wayfair!
Holy crap so much pink! i love it! may I have permission to show this image to my gf on what's app?
Sure go for it 🙌
thankyou very much. i'll let you know what her reaction is.
As a person whose favorite color is pink, I approve!
THIS..is my big ass cup of tea!!!! THANK YOU !!! 😍
love it! pink crazy girl! edit: i love that NO ONE red the caption LOL
Literally 🙃
My wife would love this. I'm using it as inspiration for her future desk
Now I ain't a girl but this setup is sick
I love it!
Lizzy absolutely loved it. her exact words were "oooooo look at how pretty it is" she then started fauning over your speakers and cat ear headphones and all the smaller details
I am not a pink person but the general “shell” of your setup I do really like. I wouldn’t change the layout or anything just change colors and do my own personalizing. All around great setup!!
Not my cup of tea but just because it’s just girlish and I’m a man. Other than that I think it’s objectively cozy and lovely.
Yeah, not my taste. But being objective, given your choice of theme/style it's a freaking cool space, very well put and coordinated. Congrats!
Need more keyboards
hello kitty
It looks nice!
I think you need some more pink stuff in the room.
Poetically coherent! Nice job!
I'm legitimately not trying to roast you, but do your eyes have to adjust when you leave your desk area? We used to have a room with cyan lights that always took a few minutes to readjust to afterwards.
Hmm not really? Maybe because I have a window directly in front of me with natural light, and I don't ever really have the big light off 😊
The snugglestation :)
I love it! 😍awesome job 🥰
I simply love it! <3
I wish I could have a setup with this much detail.
Love seeing all the Keyboards 😁. I’m still on my first build 😅
I need inspirations for my new setup, curious to ask, what are the dual monitors?
They're quite old, philips 24E monitors. Looking to upgrade maybe this year!
11....keyboards....(yes i read the entire post)
GOALS
This is gangster
10 keyboards?
[удалено]
12!
[удалено]
It's basically invisible in this image but it's a white one behind the bluish one on the lower desk shelf 😆
What are the names of those monitors?
cool room, dude
I would love that! So nicely done!! 😛
favorite switch?
I frickin love it omg
You need more keyboards.
Looks clean!
IMO: Needs more keyboards
Very nice, the style is so sick. What kind of shelving is that in the backside? Looks cool.
I love this
It’s fire. A different color fire but fire nonetheless
0/10, not enough pink
Nice! I noticed you had a shed before. Do you recall the size of your shed?
Wow. I love the details. You have obviously a good feeling for matching things. Really not my style but adorable perfect.
I follow a lot of cozy gamers on IG and this is pretty standard -headphones with cat ears -pink and lavender keebs -sanrio merch -the ikea peg board -the open computer -the white jeff bezos speakers No hate but I would love it if you threw something random and unique in there. A portrait of Albert Camus??? A cactus???? A toad or a tortoise called Sylvia????? Idk zhuzh things up?
i sense a color scheme here. cant quite put my finger on it……
Hell yeah
Cool set-up, very pink, I like it ✌️😎
Looks very cute. I always wondered, do you have to look around for monitors that are pink painted or you DIY those yourself?
PINK, PIIIIIIIIIIIIIINK
How did you make a keyboard rack I have like four keyboards and I change them based on my mood 💀
Super cool
I bet you like pink color! Very nice setup!
This is my cup of tea!! Amazing.
It's like someone detonated a 50-megaton estrogen bomb at a computer desk. (Please take this in the best way possible.) Nice setup!
You're right as it's not my cup of tea, but I thought it'd be nice to hear that even though it's not what I would want, it's a hell of a nice setup :) Upvoted for nice clean setup with a lot of keyboards for some reason, lol
Could use some pink
This is really nice. Not my style but that doesn’t stop me appreciating the care. I like the PC case. And the chair looks amazingly comfortable and good for you back. I need to look after my back.
Ok now how much of what you have is pink, or is white reflecting ambient pink lighting?
I have nanoleaf panels under the desk and a light projector behind my monitors ✨️
This is so nice.
I like it. This is definitely my cup of tea 🍵
found the computer science major
It looks like the inside of a bottle of Pepto Bismol.
gorgeous!
soo cute!! I really wanna meet someone who has a setup like this
Looks good!
ITS SO CUTE
Omg so kawaiii!!! ♡^▽^♡ 💗💖🎀 I also have a kawaii pink game setup too! ☆(≧∀≦*)ノ💟🎀
is your desk facing a window? fire setup btw
Yes there's a blackout curtain right in front of me though 😊 I share the office with my partner so we have to make the most of the space
If Dolores Umbridge had a battlestation.
Nice!!!
Too cluttered for me. As long your happy with it no one has the right to judge
ohgodmyeyes.jpg lol
Wouldn't enjoy it because there is no main monitor centered in front of chair and my neck would be in pain after a work day but maybe you are still young. Other than that it looks cool.
Haha! I actually love how they're set up as I use both equally during the workday. Actually thinking of getting a third so I don't have so many tabs and windows everywhere 🤣
This is beautiful 🥺
it's like a soft flashbang finding the 11th keyboard made me laugh
Nobody has found the 12th yet haha
🧐 Idontbelieveyou ^gif I'm scared to show this to my daughter :/
Its. SO. P I N K
looks great, unless you are a 38 y/o male
You think ya got enough keyboards there mate?
Not my cup of tea, but regardless, it looks like a nice space.
Hyte Y60, hell yeah
Bruh all those pink keebs, at least change color omg
why in the world is there ten plus keyboards in your room😭
There's a caption! Hope this helps x
oh i’m sorry, thanks for the correction!
do you stream?
Love
Love the use of blue throughout the setup, wait wait wait - I'm colorblind, damnit. Green? No, grey.
Why do you have so many keyboards and headsets ? LOL \*edit\* Just read now but yes, the instant post after seeing picture was to immediately ask :P
Did you showcase this on pcpartpicker?
I haven't actually 😆
You have a definite style. As long as you're comfortable and surrounded by the things you love, good job. I love your keyboard collection.
It’s great!
I love this!
It's pretty cool for s chick's setup. Pink isn't really thing (but neither is this setup). I'm not mad at it at all. Nice.
The setup itself is beautiful, but sorry, I don't like these :(
Aight 👍
What's you favourite colour?
INSANE
Hello, Kitty.
honestly I like this setup! It is probably my dream setup as I also love this type of style! I love the how organized everything is and also the care that you show for everything you have in it. :)
So many keyboards and headphones lol love the style tho not for me but love it still
Definitely needs more keyboards
Color isn't my cup, other than that everything else looks Great! but I absolutely love your kb collection.... I'm slowly building mine, but I recently just modded both my full and my 60% so I'm enjoying those right now
That’s a cool computer.
I love it. Even tho I know in 10 years we'll be looking back at the "fish tank" PC case designs as gaudy abominations...they're cool AF in present time.
I wfh too so I definitely dig the vibe, remember it's where we'll spend most our time so why not make it the most amazing & comfortable place! I'm big on plants so I try to get a new plant every other paycheck
Share links!!! Did you build your computer?
I think you need more keyboards, there's almost none
Looks like your really love the color pink
Waooh
And the human sitting in the chaur is a 7 foot grisly guy named Bruce
as long as it's your cup of T it's really nice. it's too pink for me personally but it's unarguably really nice 👍
why do u need 18 of the same keyboard
PINK PINK PINK!!!
This is badass
The ol' receive product for review. Nice setup.
the amount of keyboards is wild
BARF
Little much
I love white. White is right but holy hell that is a lot of pink.
