Tips on Better Utilizing Hardware?

Hi.

I make a lot of music, a bit of everything (my main two projects atm are ambient/vaporwave and drumstep/synthrock, which should say something).

I like hardware synths. They are pretty cool, but I find myself almost never reaching for them. I have a Meeblip Anode, Volca Keys, and a Casio SK1, but I almost never use them. The hassle of pulling them out, clearing the textbooks and pens off my desk, and trying to find the right cables just isn't appealing to me, especially when coupled with the inherent limitations of my hardware.

So, I guess my question is, should I try hardware again with something different? The all-in-one boxes (Medusa, Digitone, Polyend Tracker) look neat, but will I actually use them? Should I get something more fully featured or Should I sell off my current hardware and stay in the box forever?

If you've had this same feeling, let me know, I'd love to hear about it.
