Hello Geekhack!

Hello Geekhack!

I registed here a couple of weeks ago, so I think it's time to introduce myself. I'm a student who has been interested in keyboard for a about a year now. This is my first forum I'm a member of so I'm still learning how to navigate and such. I'm writing this on my lovely CM storm quickfire rapid-i with brown switches. I've been using it for about 2 months. Before this I had a Razer blackwiddow 2012 with blue switches. I am currecly looking for some nice keycaps for my board whish isn't all that easy since I live in sweden. I really like the granite keyset so I'm currectly hoping for a round 3! I'm also looking into maybe change the switch of my spacebar to either some kind of gatheron switch or just a normal mx red/black.

Thanks for this great forum, I'm really liking it so far! :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

There are quite a few Swedish members - perhaps some of those could share some keycap purchasing secrets ;)  There's not much (read: almost nothing) available in Australia either, so most of mine come from US makers or group buys.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
