Hi, I'm a programmer and maybe a casual gamer, and I've been trying to find the right keyboard for a long time. For some reason I never looked at mechanical keyboards before, probably because I was looking for smaller keyboards and I only knew about the huge ugly gaming keyboards. But I follow Jeff Atwood and when I saw him introducing the 'CODE' keyboard, it turns out the tenkeyless version was exactly what I had been looking for. I nearly bought it on the spot until I saw the shipping cost to Australia.
So since then I've looking for a similar tenkeyless option available within Australia (I'm thinking a Filco Ninja with Browns switches). I came here because it seemed like the best second-hand marketplace, and I'll admit that I initially only signed up so I'd be allowed to search. But now I've been reading more I appreciate the amazing knowledge here on a topic I'd hardly considered until a few weeks ago. So keep up the good work, and I'll try to earn my membership by actually buying a keyboard.

Damn that's good service

I have seen this a lot, I just happen to think it looks gross with all the branding and the font. I know I'm talking about saving money, but I think it's worth a bit more for something nicer looking.

I somehow missed that though. I'll check it out.

I personally bought another set of keycaps by recommendation as they are better than the stock caps that come with them. Aside from that, I like the regular logo that comes with it. A lot of people are actually painting replacement cases for the QFR right now as there is a contest going on.
