Oh lawd I just wrote so much only to have the page request I log in.
I reside in Perth, Western Australia and I have developed a bit of a keyboard obsession!
I have lurked this forum for quite some time, as it is hard to avoid when being a keyboard fan haha.
I have discovered in my expensive travels that I really enjoy PBT keycaps. ABS is no longer acceptable to my fingers! I am very fond of cherry mx red/black, I like blue and am pretty neutral to brown.
Small form keyboards are generally my preference, I don't ever use the numpad. The noppo choc mini keyboards were amazing for this as they came stock with PBT (excellente) and were very small form. They even had a Fn key combination to map Caps Lock to Control which I am a big fan of. I've owned 3 Noppo's in total.
I currently use the 'Ducky DK9008G2 Pro PBT', with white + grey coloured caps. <3 <3
As the name indicates it comes with PBT keycaps (yess delicious), Cherry MX Red and a dip switch to map Caps Lock to Control (which is far more convenient than pressing a Fn key combination every boot like with the Noppo).

My dream keyboard (for now) would be the exact keyboard I have, with :
- the base/mount(?) coloured white or grey, I am liking the whole retro feel to it
- tenkeyless
After the Pro it seems Ducky got very into that whole shine thing with the backlighting, but I never really cared for that sort of stuff.
Anyway glad to finally have an account... keep posting delicious keyboards.
Edit: I'd be interested to know how many aussie's there are on here :D

Did not know that Halverson is an expat also.

Thank you!
I wish it was more like Canadian weather.
All I can say is I would have escaped Australia somehow had Air-Conditioning not been invented.
