Title: Hello from Southern Ontario!
Post by: swornxin on Tue, 25 February 2014, 00:11:27
Decided to join the real world and buy my first mechanical today.  It's been months in the making, and although I settled on a less expensive model, I couldn't be happier.  I figured it was also time to get into the discussion of similar themes, and now I'm here.

Looking forward to learning some stuff!

It's a CM Storm QuickFire Rapid with blues.  Planning on ordering some keycaps from WASD because the font on the stock keycaps don't really do much for me!  From what I've read, I'm not alone on that.  Hahaha.  Pretty satisfied with this for now, but I can tell there will be more in the future for the rest of my computers!

Burlington!  Just a little way down the QEW from TO!

Maybe consider getting in on this group buy instead? http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48798.0

I will look into it for sure.  I thought group buys were limited to those who had 60+ posts?

EDIT:  I am completely wrong.  I see now it's to post new topics.  Thanks for the heads up!
