When the IBM PC exploded into the industry, I worked part time while studying and earn enough to buy a Acer computer with intel 486. It came with this keyboard which is an alps clicky. The photo below is a photo of my keyboard, not taken from the internet.

Ha! I knew there was something different in those Acer boards! Boy I had like 3-4 of those (any Acer sold in Northern Greece passed our computer shop) I really enjoyed typing on those. They did have their distinct sound. And heavy boards. IIRC they had 2 metal plates with 3 nylons sheets in between under the switches. I revived about a dozen of them after water got spilled on them. I truely have great memories of those boards. The only downside of those boards was that they couldn't take too many punches after long Doom sessions :D , hence I had 3-4 of them. If I knew that they were gems, I'd still have one...

I played a lot of Doom and Quake on that Acer keyboard. What do you mean it can't take any punches? :p :p
yeah, I missed it a lot sometimes - I think I need to get myself a Matias clicky board!!!

The first keyboard I bought myself and my first mech, a Ducky G2 Pro with browns. Still have it and still love it even if it isn't my daily driver anymore.

Thank you Martin for running these giveaways and also inspiring me to take a look at what's inside my first keyboard xP The SK-8110 was coupled with an Optiplex which was also my first personal computer.

This is not my picture. But this is the first keyboard I remember using and remember typing in commands to play games. Ahh the memories.

My first keyboard that I bought specifically to "game" with was the Logitech G11.
Used it for many years and it still works, however I prefer my Ducky Legend or FC660C now.

Had to look for it in the basement, glad that I managed to find it for a quick shot.

My First Keyboard aside from stealing my schools keyboard from the dumpster but that died a long time ago.

hjc1710 · « **Reply #109 on:** Fri, 10 July 2015, 00:51:06 »

So, I really don't remember what my first keyboard is... at all. I was apparently using computers by the age of 3, and we didn't have any cool old school keyboards when I was growing up, so nothing was kept.

What I do remember is my first "mechanical" keyboard, a Das v1 Ultimate (I know now it was just rubber dome, but I thought it was mechanical back then). It was given to me like 6 years ago, by now. A friend of mine got it from his uncle, who said he couldn't use it because the keys were blank, so my friend tried to use it, and he also found it wasn't for him. Knowing I loved computers and was a skilled typist in CompSci, he gave it to me. I thought it was a cool novelty for a little while, but just ignored it and continued to use my obnoxious Logitech G15 keyboard with full color LCD screen and 18 macro keys. But then one day I started having issues with Windows. Thinking the Logitech drivers might be at fault, I decided to try the Das out... and fell in love. I remember it being very enjoyable to type on and a badass keyboard, in general. After that experience, I never stopped using it. One day, I accidentally got some water into the board though, and it was broken permanently. Some small drop got through (I did as thorough a cleaning job as I could) and it started giving out ghost keypresses like crazy, so I had to throw it away

. This was before I got into mechs or knew about hardware.

But, what this story did lead to was me getting my first real mechanical at my current job. When I was starting here, I was asked what equipment I wanted. I had normally worked remote, so this was new, but I knew I loved using a Das, so I demanded a Das Keyboard, at least one with Browns! My boss obliged and got me an Ultimate with Browns, v3 (incidentally, after my board arrived, he and a coworker tried it out, instantly fell in love, and he ordered a board for each of them

)). Eventually, that lead me to /r/mk and custom sets, then artisans, then to GH... and here I am today. With far too many input devices for my PC's... but only keyboards, heaven forbid I buy a mouse

...

Anyway, here's a pic of a Das v1, the thing that got me started:

Thanks for putting together such an awesome giveaway martin. The new designs are really awesome!!!

My first mechanical keyboard was an IBM Model M. If only I still had it today stored somewhere =\ I had it when I was a kid.

The feel is of the keys! · « **Reply #115 on:** Fri, 10 July 2015, 06:50:45 »

My first keyboard I think might have been this IBM chicklet, but I honestly can't remember that far back clearly enough lol.

My first mech was a Logitech G710+

My first keyboard was a Commodore 64. I learned coding on Commodore Basic as a mere suckling.

Those were the days...

:'(

I really want to learn how to use the Commodore 64 that was passed down to me, but I don't think that the floppies work for it anymore D=

Just spent most of the last hour trying to find the old keyboard that I use so I can take a picture of it. Just moved house so no luck finding it.
But first computer was a old windows 98 that my parents got. At the time I have no idea what it was because computers were so new and didn't even know how to log in. Parents didn't know either because they were Chinese and knew little English at the time so the computer just sat there for a whole year until I stated grade 3 where we had a computer in the classroom. Then I learnt to log in. And all I didn't was play Solitaire and minesweeper. Anyway, enough about my first computer. First keyboard was one of those white and grey IMB keyboards but I can't find the keyboard so no picture

Thank you for doing this giveaway. I'm in Australia so I don't know if I made the time frame or not but good luck to all!

exiarc · « **Reply #118 on:** Fri, 10 July 2015, 12:04:38 »

To be quite honest, I really enjoyed typing on this keyboard. Maybe once I get myself a mechanical that will change. Nonetheless, it's nostalgic but most importantly I learned how to type properly with this keyboard.

The keyboard is Gateway's 7405 keyboard.

Dingonek · « **Reply #119 on:** Fri, 10 July 2015, 21:45:44 »

My first keyboard was a Razer Blackwidow with Cherry MX Blues. I now own a Poker II with MX Browns as well as a Leopold FC660C, which has 45g Topre switches. Thanks for the giveaway

My 1st keyboard Compaq KB-0133

When mechanical keyboard was introduced to me last year, I immediately thought I have it because one of mechanical keyboard's characteristic is its weight. This keyboard weighs almost 1 kg.

very1 · « **Reply #124 on:** Sat, 11 July 2015, 01:20:15 »

This was honestly my first keyboard:

I had my first computer access in 1995 I think. I was only 4 years old, and I learned to read with a computer program. Everything about my computer was IBM, the case, the monitor (I think), the printer and the power bar thing.

Sadly, I don't know what happened to the keyboard. I'm sure it's laying around somewhere in an attic, but I'm not near my parents place and I can't get at it
