Title: Hello from Sydney!
Post by: strfcker on Tue, 16 June 2020, 05:05:59

Hi y'all, I'm pretty new to the whole mechanical keyboard community but I started lurking around after walking past a meetup in Sydney late last year. Hope to get to know all you soon!

I've only just made an account and I have found my fellow Aussies :), I feel at home.

The chances of randomly stumbling across a keyboard meet in Sydney must be miniscule.  Where abouts was it?

I never actually got a chance to inside! Looking back I wish I did. I already see myself going far, far down the rabbit hole with this hobby.

Pleasure to meet you too!

I feel like it would be, but it seemed to be an organised event! Going back it seems that it was the Sydney Mechanical Keyboard Meetup towards the end of 2019.
