Thought I should introduce myself as I plan on participating in group buys, and also thought I should share some images of the my current keyboard collection to fellow enthusiasts.
I started off the ducky 9008G2 with cherry browns and fell in love with it, and this is the keyboard I am currently using at work. The next purchase was an old school IBM Model M from a university surplus store. The sound of typing on this keyboard brings joy every time. Also you can barely see the Yamakasi Catleap Q270SE, which purrs at 119Hz and makes motion blur a concern of the past. I can't stress enough how much better everything looks at the higher refresh rate, hands down the best visual upgrade I have spent money on.
I then tried to pick up some more oldies, and happened across an APPLE M0110A with Mitsumi switches and an AEKII with cream alps. Programming a teensy for both of these is going to be my summer project, but I have them cleaned up nice!
I also branched out to try different cherry switches. First was the cheap monoprice keyboard to try out some blues. Seriously though the leds on caps lock/others are so bright that I taped over them to prevent blindness. I still prefer browns but my wife really enjoys the blues, so still a win. I then wanted a smaller form factor for home, and happened across the Noppoo Choc Mini on ebay with a broken switch, so I got a keyboard with cherry reds for a great price. Got that fixed up and it is working perfectly as my main keyboard at home. Also included is the G400s, as I broke my last MX518 recently and still refuse to switch to something else.
Thanks for reading
