Uses for a second keyboard?

[Cupar19]

So i recently just picked up a second razer mechanical keyboard for really cheap and it looks kinda cool on my desk but doesn't really have a purpose. are there any practical uses for a second keyboard for someone like me who basically just browses the internet and plays games. I do think like video and photo editing occasionally but not often enough that i need to go full taran and setup a hundred macros for it. 

 

So does anybody know of a use (even if kinda pointless) thats better than just looking cool on my desk?

You can program the keys of  the second keyboard with softwate AutoHotkey so for example pressing 1 can open a game or apply a filter in photoshop.

You can also sometimes use the software that come with the keyboard to do this.For example, Razer-Synapse, Corsair-ICUE

Ok then you can buy some mini keyboards that exist.Chech a youtuber called RandomFrankP who has reviewed some in his Gadgets less than 50$ series.

so no use other than to sit on my desk and look cool? Now im considering setting up one of my monitors to be a dedicated apple ii emulator or something connected to a raspberry pi just so the keyboard has something to do

several reasons, too bored to flip them, one is cool and retro, its nice to have, the garbo boards are too much work to throw away, i can lend them to friends.. stuff like that

One reason not mentioned here, I would really like a second mechanical keyboard so I can replace the standard issue one I have at work.  I sit at my PC all day so it would be nice.  It is however not really a cost I can justify.
