This page is a cozy archive of the mechanical keyboards I personally use and rotate in my daily setup. From workdays to gaming nights, each keyboard here has earned its place through real use, comfort, and how it fits into my desk and lifestyle.
I enjoy switching between layouts depending on my mood and needs, so this is not a list of what is trending or what you should buy. It is simply a reflection of what works for me, shared in case it helps you
find something that fits your own cozy setup.
Rotating keyboards allows me to enjoy different switches, keycap profiles, and desk aesthetics without committing to a single setup all the time. Since I spend a lot of time at my desk, this keeps my workspace feeling fresh and enjoyable.

| Rainy 75 |
Varies (Linear) |
The Rainy 75 is one of my most frequently rotated keyboards. I love how compact it is while still keeping the function row and arrow keys. It works well for both work and gaming, and it pairs beautifully with artisan keycaps and themed sets. A downside is that humidity affects it cosmetically so something to take note. |
