Title: Been Lurking for a Few Days, Finally Decided to Join
Post by: docwlad on Sat, 05 July 2014, 19:34:32

Hey all. I picked up a Das Keyboard Ultimate Model S with cherry blues around six months ago, and loved the hell out of it (except for the glossy finish, ended up vinyl wrapping it). A few weeks back, as a spur of the moment thing, started searching around for a new keyboard and ended up ordering a Leopold FC660C last week. It gets here on Monday, but I've been researching mechanical keyboards pretty much nonstop since I ordered it.

Anyway, that research pretty much involved a ton of lurking on here. The community seems awesome, and I figured I'd want to show off any mods I make to my new keyboard  :p so I made this account.

Welcome! What mods do you want to do on your Das?

Thanks! I'm thinking about lubricating it or adding some o-rings, but I haven't done too much research on how to actually go about it. And I'm probably going to end up buying some new keycaps for it, though I haven't decided what keys, colors, or PBT vs ABS (I might just end up getting a vortex thick PBT set I found on GeekKeys).

Welcome! Luckily there is a lubricating guide here on GH. As far as O-rings go, they're pretty simple. Just watch a video on it and you should be fine!
