Title: Hello my name is Slobo
Post by: slobo on Tue, 17 September 2013, 08:35:03

Hello,

I've been reading some posts since last week and decided to register. The topics I enjoy the most are "unicorn vomit" and "post your keycaps". I am new to the whole new world of mechanical keyboards. I wasn't even aware that you can change you keycaps, now I want a colorful and unreadable keyboard :).

I've watched some videos. For work (computer related) I think for me brown Cherry MX are the best choice for me. If I can ask some questions here, do you know a (not expensive) AZERTY mechanical keyboard with brown switches? Currently, I've seen that the Filco majestouch 2 would fill my needs but I am open to other brands.

Thank you for your recommendations and welcoming :).

Note: I'm a non-native English, my syntax might be horrible, please excuse me for the inconvenience.

Your English syntax is better than some native speakers...


Oh, and:

Nice welcoming picture :)

Some stuff about me:
-I was intriged by a colleague's keyboard with blank keycaps (a Leopold otaku tenkeyless brown). After the introduction, he  let me test it for half an hour and I decided that I loved it! The tactile feel is incomparable to the 5$ crappy keyboard given by work.

-I am also a convinced trackball lover since many months. I have an old Logiech model, not fancy or what but does the job. Will give a look at the trackball forum section after i found my mechanical keyboard.

(Internet translation helps a lot btw  ;D)

Welcome, Slobo. Where are you from?

If you're interested in trackballs, I would highly recommend taking a look at these three: Kensington Slimblade, Kensington Expert, and the L-Trac.

I am from France (omelette du fromage).

I have seen some pictures of the L-Trac, it seems to be a very nice trackball. I will give a look to the tow Kensignton model you mentioned, thank you for the suggestion ^^.

Would it be okay to ask for help choosing a keyboard in the geekhack community/keyboard section?

Yes, I believe that's where most users ask. Try to be specific so it narrows the options when other users look for what you might like.

I have been using a KBT Pure Pro since my last post. What a great keyboard to work with  :D

Unfortunately it cannot be found anywhere. Has KBT discontinued its products? I will try to post in the classified section to see if someone WTS.

Your last post was more than two years ago :eek:

The pure Pro was on Massdrop, and many people have requested that the drop run again.  https://www.massdrop.com/buy/kbt-pure-pro

Perhaps you could add your voice to the masses.

Or maybe you could consider a Pok3r - another very popular 60% keyboard.
