Title: Hey guys
Post by: poetik on Thu, 19 July 2012, 20:30:51

Hey everyone,

I'm new to the whole mechanical keyboard thing and I've owned a microsoft ergonomic 4000 for a few years now.  It takes a bit of getting used to in going back to a standard layout keyboard but the mechanical keys are very worth it.  I just bought my first mechanical, max keyboard nighthawk x8 (brown switches), and I don't think I'll ever go back to to the rubber dome keyboards.  The feel and response is leagues above a normal keyboard!

This is a pretty cool niche hobby and I'd love to eventually replace my key caps and maybe even do the o-ring mod.  I still have a lot to learn!
