Welcome to Geekhack!

Starting off big eh? :)

I'm currently using a Ducky Shine 3 MX black at work (alternating with e QFS MX green), a QFR MX black on my Mac at home, a KeyCool 87 MX red temporarily on a PC I am setting up for my other half, and a Ducky Shine 1 MX red on my games PC.

I have a Model M and a HHKB on standby to swap out on the Mac.

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Welcome to the community.  Nice board. :thumb:

Current favorite switch and board...22Mini-EX with vintage blacks all done up.  So linear.  So smooth.  Much win.

Welcome to GeekHack.

I'm brand new to mechanical keyboards, so I only have one: the KBParadise V60 with Cherry MX Browns. I love the size and feel of it, though. If you've never typed on a 60% board before, or even just TKL, maybe give it a try =p

Yeah, I don't mind the size of my F122. I'll probably eventually try out a 60% keyboard to see what it's like. Or better yet, I'd love to pick up or trade for a 62-key kishsaver.

It seems like you prefer linear switches. I tried out MX Black switches once before and remember them feeling nice to type on.

:))

Being sold by one of our members here, except he doesn't really want to sell it, hence the rather steep asking price.

I like linear and non-linear.  Including buckling spring.  I just happen to be using MX blacks at the moment, in this period of keyboard rotation.  Specifically I am waiting for a new keycap set to go on my QFS with MX greens, then it will be greens all day :D

Yeah, I plan on eventually getting a 60% keyboard. I know I can do without the numeric keypad but I'm not sure if I would be wiling to give up the dedicated arrow keys.

There are 60% boards with dedicated arrow keys =p
