Title: Hello
Post by: morpheus on Tue, 01 January 2013, 11:09:32: Hi,

Just introducing myself here. I've recently got into mechanical keyboards and I'm dying to get my first one soon. I've been doing a ton of research on them so far, but I'm undecided. It's down to Cherry MX Blue, Brown, or Black. I'm leaning towards KBT Race right now, but we'll see.

Thanks!

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

Thats you ;) ;) your wallet must be cursing and swearing and hoping to seal itself shut permanently :p :p

Post by: Shadovved on Tue, 01 January 2013, 14:13:32: Thank you. Thank you :)) :))

You should edit your post, you can never nurse a wallet back to life if you visit the classifieds in GH :p :p

You need to play tug-o-war with your wallet, using dollar bills ;D

Take some pictures from the movie maybe? :p
Title: Re: Hello
Post by: razorsharpgears on Tue, 01 January 2013, 15:11:39: LOL, those are pictures from the movie! The original movie. Not the 2005 movie remake, which is crap. The original movie is a classic man!
Go watch it now, you are seriously missing out :3

Go blues if you like the clicky sounds, otherwise go blacks if you have fairly strong fingers. Browns are a middle ground, but surprisingly many people don't like browns.

Post by: morpheus on Wed, 02 January 2013, 05:18:09: Yes, indeed, this looks like an extremely expensive hobby. $100 keyboards? No problem, I just won't eat for a month. Well, maybe some saltine crackers and tap water.

Uh, quick question...why do people hate browns? Also, I like to bottom out sometimes when I feel like mashing my keyboard. Which cherry mx switch would be good for this?

Thanks.

Post by: aggiejy on Wed, 02 January 2013, 07:18:14: I've got or have had at least one board with every switch type (except some rare alps) and Brown MX is by far my favorite of anything. I mash the hell out of them, bottom out with gusto, and enjoy doing it.

Post by: esoomenona on Wed, 02 January 2013, 08:46:24: I like bottoming out with Blues. Adds more click and clack. Also, buckling springs. I don't hate browns, but I like others much better than them.
