    We used this monster when I was a student worker at the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology around the year 2006. It operated a walk-in 2-sided 3D cave (unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of that cave), where you could literally walk around with a set of VR glasses and see everything in 3D (that was when there wasn't any Oculus Quest yet). That was useful for running industrial simulations.

 As I mentioned, keyboards will remain an expensive hobby of mine. I don't regret anything here, though. After all, I use keyboards at my day job. I've ordered a Kinesis custom build with the Gateron Kangaroo switches, and I'm excited to see how that compares to my current setup. I'm still deciding whether to keep my Gateron Brown-equipped Kinesis as a secondary keyboard or possibly leave it at my in-laws for use when visiting or to sell it.
