Title: Hello from the UK
Post by: input on Wed, 10 July 2013, 17:48:01

Hi Geekhackers,

Mainly from /r/mechanicalkeyboards but getting kind of bored of it now

Bit of a lurker around here and desk authority.

From London and currently own two fullsize filcos with browns for daily drivers at home and work (w/ o-rings).

A 1987 IBM Model M with a couple of missing keycaps.

2 IBM Model M2s, I replaced the capacitors on one and the other has a broken spacebar, can't source one to save my life kind of gave up after getting my proper M.

And finally a Jarltech 8011TWE which is a programmable keyboard which came with some awesome doubleshot numbers and print your own keycaps, not tried to get it to work yet.

My imgur profile with all my keyboard pics: http://inputpow.imgur.com/

I am very intrested in getting involved with some key cap group buys, and am eyeing up the UK meetup deciding if I should take the dive, I really want to try a topre  ;D

Welcome to the forum!

I'm sure you'll find quite a few people here are also on Reddit and/or DeskThority.  And more group buys than your wallet can handle...   ;D

Browns, right? Browns are the easiest switch to get addicted to. Welcome aboard!
