[ SLANG ][ MECHANICAL KEYBOARDS ][ COLLECTOR IDENTITY ]
The final, ultimate keyboard build a hobbyist settles on after cycling through enough boards, switches, and builds to stop chasing new upgrades.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

LORE & ORIGIN
Standard mechanical-keyboard community term for the build that finally ends a hobbyist's upgrade cycle, borrowed from the general 'endgame' concept used across collecting hobbies.
