Ducky G2 Pro PBT with blacks. I gave it to a friend a while back & just traded to get it back. I'm thrilled to have it back in the collection but at the same time I'm still not too keen on full size keyboards. I'll be back to the type s in about ten minutes.

I can't get enough of my MiniVan lately. Been using it since I bought it a few weeks ago. Thinking about changing back to the planck or taking the Tada68 for a proper spin instead of using it for an hour and putting it on the shelf.

A KC60 I bought in a group buy, it is a kit from AliExpress and I had to assemble it myself. My first build, but definitely not my last! It was really satisfying to see it work after soldering.

Bought a black unprinted HHKB a few months ago and added silencing rings. It's what I've been using for most of the time since. Currently waiting for a splash of colour from HKP.
I really enjoyed my stock HHKB before that, but now that I've gone silenced for a while it's difficult to go back.

Got my FC660C in. It really feels great. I may still end up using the FC660M more often than not for gaming, but the typing experience on the Topre model feels nicer, as always.

Whichever I go with needs to be comfortable for lots of MMO raiding this week starting early tomorrow. :O

been using this alps64 build for 2 days now. my very first 60%. there are still bad switches and most are still scratchy due harvested from a very bad board (understatement). waiting for the lube and spare matias qc in the mail to fix everything... then keycaps.

I only use my silenced HHKB Pro 2 with Hasu's bt board, suits my needs perfectly. Mobile, (almost) silent and efficient layout.

It's a Hammer replica case (noticed it on reddit). The OTD 356mini has a center-mounted USB port.

I wish! Mechanical Keyboards had one in stock left over so I was saved from the angry import price gods (would've been like $350+ from Taiwan or Hendy's mechanicalkeyboards.id.co site). Sadly, they only had 45g, so I had to go with what I could get!

I got an amazing price for it thanks to the caps being dirty. Didn't take too long to clean them right up and it's looking clean! I'll try it for a while and then maybe see if there's anyone willing to trade their 30g version for this one.

Or maybe try swapping 55g domes into it. Who knows! It's fun so far though. :)

agreed! i'm surprised how quickly i started to get used to it, including the heavy spacebar.
right now the two mistakes i make by far the most is trying to use numpad_5 as "down" and using the `~ key in stead of the '" key. i'm still getting used to the delete key a bit, and the left shift is a bit awkward sometimes. i really like where Home and End are placed relative to the rest of the keys. and man, such nice keycaps! can't get over how nice they feel and look

Mechsupply and UKKeycaps are both ran by the same guy, and they stock a few different variants of TaiHao sets with UK support for pretty decent prices. He also does GBs for switches, cases and stuff every once in a while.

The next step up would be groupbuys. A lot of SP GBs tend to have ISO-UK as one of the child kits. GMK is rarer to have full support, normally a token effort is expended in the form of 4 extra keys (ISO Enter, 1.25u Shift, and 1u in R4 and R3), but there are sets out there with full UK support.

I recommend getting in the GMK Hydro GB, it's got ISO-UK support!

I just got my first mechanical keyboard today: KBParadise V80 TKL with Matias Clicky switches. Feels and sounds great! Typing this message with it right now. They had it up on massdrop, but I decided to just get it off mechanicalkeyboards.com since they had a 10% promotion and free shipping for an overall less cost than the lowest unlocked massdrop price. :\

Test driving full size WASD with MX Red Silent switch and Gateron's EnjoyPBT keycaps for the second day. So far so good. The keyboard is light and smooth, very cushiony, almost too cushiony, but it feels like a relieve after using weighted topre (which makes you bottom out no matter what) for last month or so.

Did you buy a WASD Cherry MX Red board with O-Rings. Or did you buy a WASD board with Cherry MX Silent switches? (Silent switches have rubber dampening built into the switch)

edit - Oh my mistake. I just noticed your website.. I guess you would be one of the first to try out a new WASD product.

Back to my NCR. Not quite sure how I like Topre. I really like the key caps on the Ducky Realforce, but Topre keeps proving not to be my cup of tea.

If anyone wants to trade me for the 30g version, I'd love to try it.

The clackiness and smoothness of Alps is something that still can't be beat in my eyes.
