Title: Hi, didn't know a place like this existed
Post by: CriticalHit on Thu, 14 November 2013, 03:16:14

Hi everyone,
    I bought my first mechanical keyboard about 7-8 months ago. I've been really enjoying it except that recently all the keys have been wearing away due to being made of ABS. I decided to do some research into getting new caps and that led me here. I lurked for about a day and really enjoyed the community.

Them wearing has to do with the crappy pad printing and not the fact they are ABS.

With that said, hand over your wallet to the left. Cookies and juice to the right.

I see, I guess that the keys turning shiny is due to ABS...

Welcome!!!

Unless you are real brave, you might want to check your wallet at the door.  :P  Wallets tend to get emptied around here...  hahaha
