Title: Gone mechanical keyboard crazy...
Post by: VoDivineDark on Fri, 07 December 2012, 17:17:07
Guess I should introduce myself. My name Tom and I'm actually obsessive compulsive... My compulsion shifts from object to object that I can't get out of my mind. Well.. I'm sure you can guess that since I'm here, that compulsion has moved toward mechanical keyboards.

I have had plenty of mechanical keyboards in the last couple years, but have really settled on the DAS silent as my day to day. Well, I was digging through my closet and found a brand new Ducky DK9008G2 with browns. I popped it open and have fallen in love. Since locating this little prize, I've found out that microcenter has been selling ducky keyboards from different regions. So, I went and picked up a DK9008G2 Pro in black and red.

Unfortunately, it didn't stop there. I moved on to a Logitech G710+, which I have returned for a CM Storm Trigger with browns. It's pretty nice, but the ducky has my heart at the moment. My last acquisition was a rosewill with blues. It's very nice, but I think I wanna get some o-rings, so my wife doesn't divorce me when I decide to use it.

Anyways, Just wanted to state my complete joy in my keyboard obsession for the week. Now just to hide the bank statement from the little lady...  :p

Welcome to wallet-hack - don't look at the media subforum or you will want all the keys.

Welcome to Geekhack!

I'd love to look in my cupboard and find a new mechanical keyboard I didn't know was there.  Any idea how it got there?

You are in an enviable position - having a few keyboards with different switches to play with.  Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure I picked it up along side a steelseries 7g during a mouse phase. I probably just stored it and forgot about it. I am on a lot of meds.... Haha!

I've had worse (read: more expensive) obsessions... My wife is almost good with this one.

In my basement. Unfortunately, the only other keyboard I found in the stacks was a 2011 black widow... Want it?
