Title: First Mechanical and a big <3 to GH.
Post by: krynis on Wed, 25 January 2012, 04:35:46: Just ordered a FC200RL/AB from EK based on availability (Canadian) and info I got here on these boards, speaking of these boards I stumbled in here by accident looking up issues for a razer product and that is what lead me to mech in the first place so I'd like to extend a great big thank you to all of the incredibly helpful members of these boards, especially my Buddy Sawedust who helped me pick out my board on twitter and dealt with me spamming him for like a day and a half.

If you guys would find it interesting I'll update with my thoughts on the keyboard later, I'd like to post pics but how can I spare the cash for a camera when I could use that for more keyboards? :)

Post by: sawedust on Wed, 25 January 2012, 04:37:46: Congrats on selecting your first mechanical keyboard!

I'm sure it will be the first of many to come.

Make sure you post pictures and your impressions when you receive your new keyboard. We love pictures. :)

Do you now? I slam my desk and my computer BSODs...

Go back to playing! Your APM must of increased because of your new keyboard.

Post by: krynis on Thu, 01 March 2012, 07:15:57: Last time I played SC2 I broke a keyboard at the middle and put two holes in the wall on my right, and this is AFTER anger management classes, I avoid things that cause me undue anger when possible.

What a bummer. At least you cannot break your keyboard again (that easy at least), think about it!

Nice pics! Not a whole lot of room on your desk huh? Judging from where you put the board, you must sit very close to your monitors! One way to get immersed in the virtual world! I'm guessing with your anger issues you must stay away from online FPS huh? If you get mad during RTS I can just imagine you going radioactive playing BF3! lol :)

Yeah you should try to sit a bit further away from them.

Honestly, you could probably put your board through a wall and it'd be fine...it's solid. :thumb:

Post by: krynis on Thu, 01 March 2012, 13:59:48: if you look very carefully you will notice my monitor actually TOUCHES my tower, and I actually sit back pretty far in my chair which you cannot see. :)

Also yeah...I think I can see my neighbor in that picture Ripster ;P
