Title: Ohai thar!
Post by: Calade on Wed, 12 September 2012, 15:10:36
Hello Geekhackers!

I've been using the site for a while already, but haven't started posting until now. I'm a hardcore gamer slash all around nerd from Finland and relatively new to the mechanical keyboard business. I didn't realize I was typing on something very special back when I was 5 years old and we had a Model M (which I threw in the waste bin right before learning about mechanical keyboards!), but I've recently become very interested in subject. Just ordered my first unit, a Rosewill RK-9000, which the store sadly won't be getting until a couple of weeks from now.

Since I'm a perfectionist by nature, I think I'm about to spend quite a bit of money in this hobby to get just the kind of keyboard that I want. I really like white stuff and when doing research on what to buy, I was desperately trying to a white keyboard made out of PBT. But as it turns out, I believe you can't even get white keycaps made out of PBT if you're using the ISO layout.

I'm quite entrepreneuristic by nature, and have been recently thinking of founding an online IT shop. Since the demand seems to be so high, maybe my selection should also include white PBT keycaps? :-)

You will get lots of answers here, some extremely helpful, some not so, but always enlightening.

Enjoy,
