So the short answer to the question is, NO. It\u2019s never too late because as you grow older I can safely assume that you make more than enough money (and maybe time) for a new hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back to keyboards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s this mechanical keyboard hobbyist that I just found out about. Typically, it sounded very interesting to me.&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qr3nYR15wxU\" target=\"_blank\">Why keyboards?<\/a>&nbsp;Well, imagine a Gundam set or even Legos. It is very similar. It requires some technical skills, also the fact that you can customize and make it your own. Same principle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube alignwide wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Buyers Guide : What Size Mechanical Keyboard Should you Get?\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GxS30X_unjU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>For noobs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a lot more for me to research and learn on this keebs hobby, which on these three days of googling and YouTubing I can safely list down things that I personally find most important to start. Obviously there\u2019s also some technical stuff such as soldering, that I won\u2019t get into just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keyboard size\/layout<\/li><li>Click sound preferences\/typing feels<\/li><li>Keycap design<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Edit 26 August 2020: Found a website&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/keyboard.university\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>http:\/\/keyboard.university\/<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It all comes back to individualism. The world feels like it\u2019s getting smaller and smaller. One needs to stand out to feel some level of important-ness and somehow be exclusive. That\u2019s where hobby comes filling in, especially those that can be customizable with your own identity. Try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, it feels good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>Update 27 July 2020: Just received my Keychron K6 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard RGB Backlight \/ Hot-swappable \/ Brown switch and I am typing with it now.
