Author Topic: What did you purchase/trade for today? (Read 30795 times)

Gupgup · « **on:** Wed, 01 May 2013, 22:37:08 »

Hey everyone!

I've been thinking, could we maybe have a thread where people can post what they purchased that day or what they traded to get? I definitely love the feeling of posting my awesome gets in the "What did you get in the mail today?" thread, but it would be awesome if we could have a sticky thread (or whatever you call them) where people could post the day of actually buying that item(s).

Just thinking out loud

)

Post in here and say if you like the idea or what your opinions are!

I bought an SSK today

Can't wait to own my first Buckling Spring keyboard.

And I like this. I think the What's in the Mail thread is nice but things don't get updated that often. So you get this list of stuff but you never find out if ppl get it or what.

Thanks for the input!

I'm hopeful that the caps are mx compatible... pretty sure they are, just not 100%.

That Dolch PAC was HOT and is that a TA colorway I spy? Regardless, I love that color scheme and the lime backspace sets it off

Thanks! Although I'm pretty sure my collection pales in comparison to IvanIvanovich's...

I've been using the Dolch as my main keyboard lately (I had ordered a 7x cherry profile aluminum space bar from MKC for the LZ-GH and wanted to test it out - and the Dolch board is the only board I currently have that uses a 7x space bar). Overall, I'm loving the typing feel and the more compact layout is a nice compromise between space and functionality, but the 2KRO limitation is revealing itself to be a bit of a bummer - I find myself getting typing errors from time to time if I'm going too fast, and I can't really game with it. Still, though, it's a pretty sweet board.

Yep, it's a TA colorway

Was pretty cheap, too - about $40 shipped.

Are those green or blue legends? Purchased a TA 7007L with blue on grey caps on eBay a few days ago but the seller won't be able to ship it before monday

They are a blueish-green/teal, whereas the 7007L keys are more of a true blue. I'll post better pics w/ shots of the undersides of the keycaps and the switches once it arrives. According to IvanIvanovich (he has a typewriter in the same line), the keys are all cherry doubleshots, and he suggested that the switches are likely mx whites.

Eh, could just make it more specific and be like what did you buy from a B&M store? (brick & mortar for those who are unfamiliar). That way there's one for items that are shipped to you and one for items that you purchase in person?

It's the basis of my 3d printer, capable of printing up to 400mm objects.

Why pay $40 for a GH60 case when you can pay lots more and make one yourself!

Actually, 400mm is large enough for all but full size cases.
