Hello from a Tropical island!
« on: Mon, 04 March 2013, 03:02:02 »
Hello folks!

I've been a computer geek for the longest time and I have been trying for years to stay away from this site because I always knew I would end up broke with all the mechanical goodness stuff around here!  :p

Well... after all these years I just couldn't stop myself anymore, Someone offered me a Cherry MX Black KB from Armaggeddon (Black Hornet MKA-3) and it only cost me $55... for now (that's out the window with the keycap sets i want to buy!  ;D). It was refurbished and when I received it the first time a few LEDS weren't working. I promptly reported it to the seller and now I'm getting a new KB via RMA.

I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of my new Cherry MX Black and wish to mod it by buying some keycaps for it!

Now... Onto spending and stuff!  ;D

Hey Jocelyn!

Thank you for finally getting me into Geekhack! I know this has always been a good source for Mech KB but I always stayed away because I know my wallet's going to get lighter! I've always been a lurker and never bothered to register for an account. Well now, look what you've done...my poor wallet!  :D

The Philippine Islands my friend!

Hey man!  I'm new around here too and hail from the Philippines as well!  I'm in around Alabang / Sucat.  Are you in Manila too?

Sadly...I just ordered stuff from TechKeys last night!  We should consolidate orders next time and save on shipping to the Philippines!  ;D

Anyway, here's some links to help you on your way to your first of many key cap purchases:

TechKeys:

Signature Plastics (items from both stores consolidate in one PayPal cart:

Hey Infiniti!

I'm currently situated in QC and I work near your namesake along Quezon Ave.!  :p

Kidding aside! Thank you for all the links! I will definitely take you up on your offer and do a group buy to lower the shipping costs!



PS - I've added you as a  friend to make things easier when sending PMs

I'm so jealous, but there's a good chance I may move to Hawaii in the fall :D
