Title: Long time lurker, finally joined.
Post by: RangerXML on Sun, 30 August 2020, 00:47:23
So ya, I've been lurking here for years browsing GB and peoples keebs. My first official Mech was a Razer BlackWidow TE 2013 Edition with Cherry MX Blues, on sale from the Microsoft Store quickly followed by a KeyCool 108 RGB with Kaihl Reds and a set of PBT shine thru, both from "Massdrop" (MX Blues did not jive with me). Then I discovered 60% and got in on the pre-order for a Pok3r RGB and a Hiragana PBT keycap set from Originative. I missed the arrow cluster and that let to discussions with folks on discord which led me to the Tada68 (and 65% keyboards in general) when the Mod- series tactile switches where in development. Eventually Massdrop came out with the Alt and the last of my major issues were solved where new if I discovered a new switch I liked I could pick it up and try it out in the hotswap socket. Now I'm about the get my KBD67v2 kit (hoping to also pickup a NK65 Entry Edition with some Glorious Holy Pandas), I've got a full set of lubed/filmed Zealio V2 with a spring swap and I'm waiting for my first GMK set.

Me, I'm an eternal college student, working on my next degree, I'm a naturalized US citizen and I've grown up loving to work on computers and Lego. Audiophile and Mechanical Keyboards were just a natural evolution.

Hi and welcome. For me, the natural evolution from computers and Lego was to build a keyboard from Lego.
