Hello folks!
I've been a computer geek for the longest time and I have been trying for years to stay away from this site because I always knew I would end up broke with all the mechanical goodness stuff around here! :p
Well... after all these years I just couldn't stop myself anymore, Someone offered me a Cherry MX Black KB from Armaggeddon (Black Hornet MKA-3 (http://armaggeddon.net/gaming-keyboards/black-hornet-black/)) and it only cost me $55... for now (that's out the window with the keycap sets i want to buy! ;D). It was refurbished and when I received it the first time a few LEDS weren't working. I promptly reported it to the seller and now I'm getting a new KB via RMA.
I'm anxiously awaiting delivery of my new Cherry MX Black and wish to mod it by buying some keycaps for it!
Now... Onto spending and stuff! ;D

Oh yeah, I wanted to give props to Jocelyn84 at OCN (I guess username here is Jocelyn???) who recommended / convinced me to come over here!

Oh that's you! Welcome to to GH :)
Edit - Which tropical island? lol

The Philippine Islands my friend!

Hey Jocelyn!
Thank you for finally getting me into Geekhack! I know this has always been a good source for Mech KB but I always stayed away because I know my wallet's going to get lighter! I've always been a lurker and never bothered to register for an account. Well now, look what you've done...my poor wallet! :D

Hey man! I'm new around here too and hail from the Philippines as well! I'm in around Alabang / Sucat. Are you in Manila too?
Sadly...I just ordered stuff from TechKeys last night! We should consolidate orders next time and save on shipping to the Philippines! ;D
Anyway, here's some links to help you on your way to your first of many key cap purchases:

Hey Infiniti!
I'm currently situated in QC and I work near your namesake along Quezon Ave.! :p
Kidding aside! Thank you for all the links! I will definitely take you up on your offer and do a group buy to lower the shipping costs!
PS - I've added you as a friend to make things easier when sending PMs

No problemo and happy shopping! ;)

I'm so jealous, but there's a good chance I may move to Hawaii in the fall :D
