so pat yourself on the back and realize you have wonderful taste and your opinions DO matter.

this is my first mechanical keyboard, and as im sure you've noticed, i have yet to find the caps key.

i bought the leopold red. end of story. thank you for all the nudges in all the right directions.

i hope to post some pics to this thread in the near future (with a lovely macro lens mind you :))

thanks again

Caps shmaps, that thing should do some other useful function... on the other hand the shift key might come in handy for you.  It's the outside keys of the main cluster 2nd row up from the bottom... :)   What'd you do get an Otaku without learning all your keys first?

i got it today actually. i have little to compare it to unfortunately but from what i can muster from my gut, this baby purrs.

if i were to be overly critical, i might mention one key has a slightly longer tone than the rest. certainly worth overlooking and barely worth mentioning...

I think it was the triple 'loves'.

I wrote that in the heat of the moment and normally most people refrain from over expressing the amount of love they have for a keyboard.
