Hey, I'm a guy with a face
« on: Sun, 07 June 2015, 23:31:00 »
Hallo, I go by Aekely. I've lurked on here for a couple of weekss and decided to pull up my pants and join. I've actually just ordered my first Mechanical keyboard long ago. It's a Ducky Shine 3 with Brown Cherry Switches. Can't wait til it gets here heh. I think I'm really into customizing keyboards with various keycaps and spacebars and all the pretty things and I'd like to learn more about it from here.

But yeah, I'm a guy with a face. I like keyboards. You like keyboards.
Let's have some fun ;)

Heh, I kinda had to get browns (or reds.) I'm headed to college soon and I don't want to bother my roommate that much. I should probably invest in some O rings.... BUT THANKS FOR NOTICING MY FACE. And thanks for the welcome.

Thanks! It was between that or the CM Quickfire Rapid. I got the Tenkeyless version of the Ducky as well. I hope I enjoy it heh.

Welcome to Geekhack!

I've got to wonder what you were doing lurking around with your pants down :p

Anyway, Ducky Shine is great - I have 3 :))  Which LEDs did you get?  I have red, green and yellow (in separate keyboards).
"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

I got the blue LED's! I think I might get the ducky purple backlit caps and make it pretty. Or maybe some other colored backlit caps heh.

I didn't want to get stuck with one color so I went with white and then just added color filters to it if i wanted to change the color.

Welcome

I didn't want to get stuck with one color so I went with white and then just added color filters to it if i wanted to change the color.

That's why I like my RGB board, whenever I get tired of it it's easy to change.
I proxy anything including keyboards (キーボード / 鍵盤), from both Japan (日本) and China (中國). For more information, you may visit my dedicated webpage here: https://www.keyboards.es/proxying.html

If you want the Ducky purple keycaps and can find some, I'd suggest going for it.  A lot of those older Ducky keycap sets are getting hard to find these days.
