First post, first mechanical keyboard. Did a bunch of research before getting this board. Was between getting a Poker II and the Leopold. Hope you all enjoy!

So what made you chose to buy this keyboard?

I wanted something compact but didn't want to give up the arrow keys. I had heard PBT keycaps were the way to go, so that helped narrow it down as well. To determine the switch I wanted, I went to a local Fry's and played with a few CFR's and a few other boards with different switches and found that I really liked the click of mx blues.

Sounds like you did everything right leading up to the decision - hopefully you will enjoy the keyboard for a long time :)

Let us know what you think after a month or so.
