Title: Hello from Seattle!
Post by: mr240p on Mon, 11 May 2020, 11:50:44

Hello!

My name is Keo. I'm just starting to get into mech keyboards, I come from a gaming background. I recently dropped my logitech gpro for a vortex tab75. I added some foam and lubed my switches on the vortex tab and looking forward to building my first keyboard in the future. I'm just still thinking of a good excuse for my gf to have multiple keyboards on my desk  ;)

I'm excited to be a part of a forum outside of reddit/discord. It reminds me of my younger days when I would spend a lot of time on gfx message boards.

Hi Keo. Welcome to Geekhack.

Vortex boards are interesting. What switches did you get in it?

Get her into mechanical keyboards herself. Problem solved.

What sort of switches have you tried? Which do you like?

I got cherry browns. So far this keyboard is pretty decent, switching between my macbook (bluetooth) and pc (wired) is super convenient.

I haven't had a chance to try anything outside of cherry mx reds, blue, and brown. Really wish I got into keyboards before the whole covid-19 happened, I would have loved to go keycon.
