Title: Hello from Philly
Post by: tribade on Tue, 23 April 2013, 19:18:09

Hi everyone! I've come to learn more about mechanicals and keyboards in general. I find myself spending both time and money on them so it seems as though it would be a good idea to talk to the experts here! I currently have a blackwidow ultimate and a happy hacking pro 2 (which I have actually found to be a pretty excellent keyboard for Starcraft 2). I doubt I'll be a terribly prolific on the boards but once I'm more knowledgeable I'd be happy to help out however I can!

Thanks for the welcome!  I must admit, I'm actually only a fake Philadelphian here for school :/

But for what it's worth I do love it here!

TT1 played with a Topre board. I hope you turn out as good as he is! :P

Welcome to GH! ^_^

Thanks for the warm welcome!  I actually still haven't made it to Delaware from here.  Would you recommend a visit sometime?  Lots of stuff to see?

Haha I have one hell of a long way to go if I ever want to be that good.  But if a pro is using my keyboard that means I'm set, right?  I probably don't even need to practice more, just channel the TT1 energy and I'll be GM in no time  ;D

I heard ppl give you free ladder points if you just say "I play on a Topre board. Sup son?" :P

Haha, I'm sure that's the case.  I'll have to try it next time I hop on!  Does that mean if I ran into another Topre user we'd actually have to play, though?  Because I'd like to avoid that if at all possible  :p

No, there's nothing to see here. lol
maybe do some sales tax free shopping, that's about it

Well that sounds as though it's almost worth a trip in itself  :p  Lack of sales tax can be a beautiful thing
