Hi guys, posted a bit already but I like these intro threads so here goes!
I'm a junior/senior in college studying computer science, and I have an associates in computer networking (cisco certs/windows server certs).
I got into keyboards about 2 years ago when my friend brought in his blackwidow ultimate and I decided that it was godlike in comparison to the logitech g110 that I had been using prior. I immediately went and bought one and have been sold on mechanical keyboards ever since.
Made a world of difference in gaming, even games like WoW (where I played a mage so I hit roughly 4 buttons on average) but then my buddies got me into SC2 and Hon which led to Dota2 when invites started to get out there a bit more. Never got into SC2 that that much, I like watching it but don't have the time / want to put the time into getting to a semi-pro level, so I dedicated a lot more time to Dota2 where some of my friends and I played on a semi-pro level, entering tournaments and the like which was a lot of fun, we even got together for a week and had a bootcamp in my kitchen.
got my Ducky a couple weeks ago as I decided that I was tired of the BWU for a couple reasons, 1. build quality is meh and it feels a bit weak, and 2. it's wide enough that my shoulders hurt after long gaming sessions cause my hands have to be out farther than my shoulders which is rather uncomfortable if you haven't experienced it... Also I wanted to try out something other than blue's so I got my 1087 with chinese keycaps and mx-blacks and I love it! Kinda sucks for coding, but it's kicking me into finding a TKL with blue's and equally interesting keycaps, trying to find one with Korean keycaps but GLHF with that...
That's about it! I like the community a lot already, had some really good interactions and I hope to be able to add a lot to the community as I learn more and more about mechanical keyboards and get more of my own!
oh and I'm addicted to keycaps already...
