Idk if I'd say shocked but NTR Netsuzou Trap (the Manga) was definitely a special experience for me. Great in the beginning, soap opera stuff in the middle (I don't really like that part, so much unnecessary drama) and a nice ending.

I fully support the move to the fediverse. It's great seeing the community getting more active here.

Leo from beekeeb offers pre-build split keyboards like this one: https://shop.beekeeb.com/product/pre-soldered-wireless-dao-choc-ble-keyboard/ and it's within your 350$ range.
It should check all your boxes except a dongle and rgb. Regarding the travel case: He even offers a soft travel pouch in the store.
RGB on a wireless split keyboard needs a pretty big battery to have more battery life than a day or too, so it's difficult to find both rgb and wireless in a pre built one without raising the costs. Also some LEDs draw constant power without even being on which also adds to this issue.

It's good you already answered the "Why do this?" question cause that's the first that immediately came to mind :D
Imagine going to the office, all colleagues already at their desks, you connect your keyboard and some Sailor Moon intro playing or so. Absolute dominance shown😤

That's a nice collection!

Looks really nice! What are those arm (?) rests?

That looks kinda scuffed but really cool at the same time :D Nice job!

Really cute ~

Well said
