Title: Need help with writing an article about mechanical keyboards
Post by: Kodazzle on Tue, 30 April 2013, 21:36:04

Hello, I'm a student studying communications and media in Australia and for one of my classes we have to interview someone for a story we are writing. I plan to write a story about mechanical keyboards, what exactly they are, and about the community of them, modding, group key-cap buying, DIY stuff etc.

Which is where you guys come in. I was hoping if I could possibly interview one of you and just ask you some questions about mechanical keyboards and this community that you are a part of. It does have to be an audio interview though, so we could perhaps record it through skype?

I can understand how this might sound strange, but I just wanted to write a story on something I love and this came to mind. So if you have any questions just PM me or post in this thread or something.

I look forward to hopefully hearing from you guys!

I would consider it, but you need other opinions than mine - I am an outlier for sure. As a non-gaming, buckling-spring devotee, my orbit is certainly eccentric from the norm around here.

It would be easiest for me around mid-day (Eastern time -5 GMT) but that is mid-night for you.

PM me and we could set up an appointment for today/tomorrow.

edit - I see that you are a newbie, so maybe you are blocked from private messaging. email me at  topvendor@gmail.com (http://topvendor@gmail.com)
