Hello! I'm new!
« on: Wed, 16 July 2014, 22:18:34 »
I actually have not used geekhack before.  I have always used /r/mechanicalkeyboards on reddit for all my keyboard needs.  I have an IBM Model M that I am using right now.  I have a Poker II with MX Browns.  I had a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate with real MX Blues for about 2 years that I have since given to my brother.  Also, I have a Quickfire TK with MX Greens in the mail.  Pretty much, in the past 4 months I have spent at least $300 on keyboards.  I regret nothing.

You're scaring my wallet  ;D I'm new as well, and I've always used overclock and other sites before finding out about geekhack. I've been using a SS 6gv2 w/ blacks for a few years now, and have been wanting to grab another board. I'm currently looking at a HHKB, but am afraid of not having the FN keys for games like SC2, WC3, and dota 2, even though I don't play a ton of SC2 or WC3 anymore and also do not know if I would like the 45g switches.

Recently I bought a MX brown Filco TKL, but am selling due to preferring heavier switches. I'm also looking at a Topre Realforce 55g, due to 55g being closer to the activation of blacks. Blues also seem very nice as I just tried them out the other day, but I really love my worn in blacks.

Welcome!

I'm pretty new to GH as well. I too, for a looooong time used a Model M. I recently damaged it by being careless, and eventually I'll get around to fixing it up. However, that set off a series of purchases which has led me to my Poker II. The Poker I'm enjoying immensely which is somewhat surprising. Like you, I favor a heavier switch, but the Poker II I purchased on a whim has blues. I expected them to be far to light, but really it is quite nice. I also have a couple of MX Clear boards, which have a very nice feel. However, they are both full size, and the allure of the 60% has pulled me in after working with such large keyboards for so long.

Man, once the M got damaged, my money started flying out the window. It is crazy!
