Turns out my Bro might want to buy my current KB, that'll offset some of the cost, I'm sure I can completely justify this....probably

Wait till you spend $300 on a key.

Ah, don't deny it. Used to be that $70 on a key is not something you will do but you just did. So what's $100.. And what's $200 and $300 then?

OMG 99?  where did you see that? oh nvm, I just did the conversion and that works out to about $155USD which is about what I paid for mine last week.
So I'm sitting there,
I need about 300 quid of PC parts to finish my PC,
Been saving for ages, also for a holiday.
Then today Ducky shine 3 pops up for 99....so I buy....hardly thinking really, almost in a trance....

My girlfriend asked me how expensive my Orion TKL was. I told her I didn't know exactly, something like €200+...
Turns out I already spent that on the old keyboards I used for parts. That board is approaching €600 already.
So it can always get worse.

And I still want to try Topre :P

Because I wanted people to discuss the ducky and reassure me of my purchase :D

Also @epzy that's the discount that pushed me over to buying it :)
It's here now....in the box....
can I hold off till I go home before opening it ?!!?
