Title: Hello everyone!
Post by: bigcity_ on Wed, 03 July 2013, 22:13:55

Hello Everyone!

I am new to this website but not really new to keyboards!

I currently have 3 mechanical keyboards:
Main Board:  Stock Das Ultimate with MX Blues

Project Board: Das Professional MX Blues - I spilled soda on this one but I eventually got it working again (after I had ordered the replacement).  I basically took and painted it with paint I had around my house to make it White and then ordered some White Ninja style keycaps for it.  Here is how it stands now: http://imgur.com/a/zS0Kf

My final keyboard is something I recently did.  It started out as a Steelseries 7G with MX Blacks in a full layout.  I spontaneously took a hacksaw to it and made it a 10-keyless.  A little soldering later and it works 100 percent and I now have a 10-keyless 7G.  Here is what it looks like now: http://imgur.com/a/fEnEG

I am really happy to be joining this site!

Welcome!

Glad to see a new member who is already well on the way to modding and enjoying their keyboards in their own way!

When looking at your 7G pictures this was my thought process.

+1 for Filco.  But better would be a Topre keyboard.  RealForce or HHKB Pro 2.  (or Leo FC660 if you can find one.)

But really any kind of TKL would be the next thing you need to add to that collection.

Thanks everyone!  I will definitely look into a Filco in the new future!

Currently I am focusing on my project board.  I am trying to swap out the MX Blues for MX Reds so we will see how that goes!

If anyone knows where I can get my hands on some MX Reds that would be awesome!
