My SteelSeries 6GV2 (with Cherry MX Red Switches) just arrived today and I am beyond excited. Just finished installing my O-rings and I am going to go put this baby to work! Pictures on the way this weekend. ^_^

Congrats on your first board! It'll never be the same from here on out!!!
-
Excellent! Congratulations :)
-
Thanks, I can already feel the difference! And am currently going to be using it non-stop... forever :D

Hah, only until you buy your next one!

On it!

If you've got reds already, try something else.
Blacks are good :)
Or greens, if you can (and don't mind the extra clicking).

Make sure you dont use that "take my money" meme!
Or you will be left with nothing! :p :p :p
-
Man if you like reds, you will hate greens. Pretty much the complete opposite. Heavy, tactile, and clicky. Will feel like every key-press is fighting you.

Sounds like someone's successfully joined the club! It starts with "I'll just get this one keyboard..." and inevitably escalates very quickly from there. Welcome! :)

Yeah, but a good contrast.

Haha that is what I have been hearing around here, oh well everyone else is in the same boat as well right? xD

Was thinking of maybe getting blacks, or I would also like to try out a blue switch.

How 'bout clears?

Yeah I definitely have been sucked in, but I am more than happy to be here :)

Tell him you will trade out the dollar bills with twice the amount of toilet paper if it keeps him happy :)) :))

Just told him that, but he said he would prefer tissue as it is softer on the face :}

I got myself a stessleries 6Gv2 aboout 4 months ago with black switches and I really want to try out some other keyboards. But they're so damn expensive in my country that I can't afford another one for now. Planning to get a filco when I tavel to the USA by the end of next year.

I took your advice and tried to tell him, and now he ran away to find a quote-on-quote "more loving owner".

Yeah so far I've been loving the keyboard, and can't wait to try out more.

These guys are are so right....I bought my first mechanical 6 months ago (Razer Blackwidow) and decided that it was time to upgrade. Besides, it's Christmas time right? So I bought a Filco Majestouch and a keycap set. And then I saw pictures of those KMAC boards and was drooling over them.
My point is, mechanical keyboards are apparently ultra-addicting and I've opened a can of Pringles. I can't stop lol.
Anyways, congrats on your first. Can't wait to see you posting pics of some customs in 6 months haha.
-
Yeah can't wait to get another keyboard, and some more novelty keycaps XD
Well in the mean time, I'll upload my EXTREMELY DELAYED photos of my new SteelSeries 6GV2 (Red Switch).
I added some o-rings to dampen the sound as well as a red esc key.

Also have some extra soft-landing pads that I'm going to use on my next keyboard.
-
Just wait until you buy your first Model M/F, it'll be just as life changing.
-
Gratz, its a slippery slope of a money pit.
-
Glad to see you're enjoying the 6Gv2, it was my first mechanical keyboard as well. Served me quite well, and I still use it for gaming quite often.

~Thanks all :D
