Hi everyone, I've been lurking around for a while, so I guess I could just make one formal post about myself

The name's Sam from Australia. I've been collecting mech kbs for a while now (since 2012) but just recently came to GH. Some may find my username familiar, since I've been lurking around on reddit and also deskthority as well.

I'm a freelance web developer, while gaming hard in Dota 2 and a bit casual CS:GO. So, what are you on about ?

p/s: living in Australia is sometimes a pain ._. all the good stuff is in USA .___.

Oz is fine bruh. I used to live in Perth as well and I import stuff fine.

But here in Indonesia, everything got taxed 30% of the item's value :S

Hi samhwang,

I did a cruise around Australia when I was in the US Navy long ago visiting all along the Australia. I never felt as welcome there as any other place I ever visited. I'm hoping to make it back and visit again some day.

Welcome to the community!

The biggest downside of being there is the time to get anything from USA shipped to you

Welcome to Geekhack!

Yes most stuff is in the US, or the UK.  And expect around 3 weeks or so for deliveries to arrive (sometimes a bit less from the UK, for some reason).  Plus silly shipping cost too.

But with a little patience, things aren't too bad.  And we have MechKB here too, they even stock RealForce keyboards!  In Sydney, but, IIRC.  PCCG is generally the place to go here in Melbourne.
