I started to get a little interested in mechanical keyboards and decided to give them a try last year. Today I figured I'd also join this forum!
I started with a cheap Outemu Brown keyboard, which I thought didn't really do the term "mechanical keyboard" much justice. It was very meh, to say the least. About a few months later, it seemed like investing in a Model M would be a good choice, so I ended up snatching a '92 model (part no. 1391401) from eBay. I've really been loving it so far!
