Hi all,
Like others I've been lurking for a while and have finally decided to make my first post here.
I've been scrolling through reddit for years now and about two months ago I started wanting to replace my Logitech Wave (I kinda hated this keyboard ever since I bought it). I made my way over to r/MK to see what was out there and this is pretty much the first thing I saw (from user
kiettykat)
SWEET JESUS.
So, that $300. I got the 8 switch tester from Max Keyboards and promptly decided that the MX Clear switches would be my first choice. Around about the same time the Poker2 with clears came up on Massdrop - so I took the awful shipping cost (and the future customs charges) in my stride and splashed out on my first mech. Next on the list was a full set of Round 2 Dolch from Signature Plastics and a set of o-rings. And now.... we wait!
In the future I'm looking at complimenting the Poker with a ten key to complete my 'budget homage' to that beautiful GON custom (possibly the Leopold FC210). I would like another mech for work. Maybe a TLK model which would be more friendly to people working with me at my station. I've currently made no choices as to which model but my mind is saying YES to getting a set of the Round 2 Granite to go with said future board. I'm also looking at wiring my 8 key tester into a the Raspberry Pi I have sitting on my desk, the first baby step into the custom mech money pit I'm sure.
Anyway thanks for reading, see you in the forums!
