Hello GH!

New member here, discovered mechanical keyboards when I first started running into NKRO issues in BF3 on my illuminated logitech keyboard. Did a little research and found out about mechanical keyboards. Currently typing on my second of two quickfire rapids. Blues at work and reds at home. Seems like a great community so far from my lurking, looking forward to contributing in the future!

That one is an exception though, don't want to scare the new members too much ;)

Usually a single key cap doesn't sell for more than about $250  :eek:

Mwahahahaha  :))

I have blues at work, but this one guy I work with, it sounds like he is trying to push his (rubber dome) keyboard through the table with each key press ouch!

Well, it is my office. I do what I want! Lol :))

Saw the $500 key cap, considering I've only spent $110 total for both of my boards, liiiiittle too rich for my blood.

That one was an exception for several reasons.  Really rare key caps might go for $200 or so, most of the time the collector's key caps sell for around $100, but there are so many other sets of caps that you can get for that kind of money.
