Title: hey guys
Post by: curb on Tue, 25 September 2012, 20:47:24

hey guys, I'm new to the mechanical world and I can't wait to buy my first mechanical keyboard. I never knew I would spend any more then $20 on a keyboard but I realized I spend 12+ hours a day typing so might as well focus on quality in that area.

After lurking for a few days, I notice this forum has great people and good vibes. Talk to you guys soon.

Welcome to Geekhack!

In a couple of month's time you will be saying "I never knew I would spend that much on just one keyboard, now I want another one" ;)

It definitely makes a difference typing on a mechanical keyboard.

Yeah, I've had mine about a week and I want to get a couple more with difference switches to check them out, too. 

And keycaps.  H'oh my god, if only there were a warning about the keycaps...

It gets worse.

Most expensive key cap I have seen so far was $250.

For one (1) key cap  :eek:

Yup.  I'm pretty close to that number on the Ironman up for auction currently.

Thanks!
 
I haven't purchased a keyboard yet but I'm already checking out all the key caps on the classifieds.  :-X

The possibilities are looking mighty fine.

Yeah, the difference is so big. Also you don't end up replacing your keyboard as often, but find yourself buying tons of them.
