I guess you could consider this a review, of sorts, but I ordered a
GeekHack Fund Raiser Gold Pack from TechKeys this week. My primary reason for purchasing the pack, other than to help support GeekHack.org, was for the GeekHack keys since I'm now
attempting to collect them. The caps themselves are awesome, but the biggest surprise to me was the "Official GeekHack Laminated Key Checking and Layout Sheet".
Since getting back into mechanical keyboards over the last couple of months, I've purchased a KBT Race and a KBT Pure. As I look at all the group buys for key sets, I naturally want to be buy some and make sure that I'm getting the right sets. Both of my KBT series boards have some subtleties and it was a bit unclear to know if I needed to buy a Tsangan or not, or hunt for extra keys.
Maybe I'm a little slow, or simply need something tactile for information to get into my head, (Heh heh, maybe that would explain my love of clicky keyboards
), but being able to pop off a key cap and place it on the GeekHack Key Check sheet for measurement has been a big help.
If you're new to mechanical keyboards, as I am, then I highly recommend that you pick up this pack
just so you can get this sheet. As a bonus, you can also:
- Try out the IMSTO thick PBT that you read so much about
- Get two kick ass GeekHack ABS doubleshot G&H keys as well as a modifier keys
- Feel the difference between ABS and PBT with the GeekHack PBT dyesub esc key
- Get a random novelty key (it's like Cracker Jacks!)
- And of course support your beloved GeekHack in the process.
Highly recommended and thank you TechKeys for putting together such a wonderful pack.
