Read around, watch youtube to hear how different switches sound, and decide which board you wanna get.
Please feed my addiction.

Any tips for a noob?

Read as much as you can.  There's a wealth of information here if you just take the time to actually check it out and try and absorb it.  Make decisions for yourself, not based on what the majority or senior members may say.  Remember that this is the internet.  Oh, and most importantly, have fun. :thumb:

Don't go around stating your opinions as facts, or take other people's opinions as facts. This is a very subjective hobby, and there's a lot of hands on learning you gotta do to figure out what you like.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Tip 1 - read this: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68372.0

(Or the links contained therein.)

That will get you pretty much up to speed with much of what goes on around here.  Some of it might not be applicable - if you are not planning on doing any soldering, you can skip that bit, for example :)

Other than that, just browse around, ask questions when you want to, post pictures in the media section if you have some, and enjoy spending money on keyboards :D
"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
