Fan of Blue switches :)

Hi Everyone!

My name is Richard and I have the pleasure to join to fans of mechanical keyboards here. I love driving buses and lorries, playing pianos and synthesizers, taking pictures by digital camera and writing lot of emails and articles.

Last month, looked for a better keyboard for writing than fitted on my laptop, I discovered mechanical keyboards. I researched quickly the subject and after 3 weeks I'm happy owner of my first mechanical keyboard Obins Anne PRO on Blue switches (I am in love on this "...click, click"). First time I considered Vortex Pok3r 3, but backlit and RGB versions this time was unavailable. Second reason purchasing Anne PRO was good opinions about this keyboard and twice cheaper price.

Currently I'm expecting ordered Magicforce 68 with typewriter keycaps from Massdrop. Also I'm cosidering 40% mechanical keyboard like Minivan, Vibex JD40 or other similar but I don't have idea where can I find these stuff. Somebody know?

Regards

You could try the Classifieds sub-forum for someone selling their 40%.  Also, you won't be able to create a new topic in the Classifieds sub-forum until you hit two months membership and have 25 posts.

Happy Keyboarding!

Welcome to the forum!

You have some interesting hobbies. And it seems you've just entered a bottomless pit of hurting your wallet and pleasuring your fingers and ears and eyes.

A few facts: many users find their fingers got stuck in between keys in those typewriter style caps when using a keyboard like that. The set originally by Datamancer is a true collector piece though. These 40% keyboard when completed can potentially cost you more than your Anna Pro and a Pok3r RGB combined.

By the way, I hate blue switches so so much...!  But I can imagine using MX / Gateron green when I'm alone not disturbed.

Yes, I know. This is my biggest problem - constant debit

I can see now but not expensive like Datamancer stuff which is amazing
