Title: Fire! Women and keyboards first!
Post by: smarmar on Fri, 01 August 2014, 16:57:12
Hi all,
I was introduced to the magic of mechanical keyboards nary a few years ago by my friend who owned a couple of Model Ms. I was aware of their existence but had yet to "feel" the magic under my fingertips. The very next day I searched the www for a Model M purchase. Well, the rest is, how do you say, history! I look forward to interacting, swapping war stories with and learning from all of you.

Welcome to GH! Is that a G80-3000 or 1501 in your profile picture? The stickers are fun :D

The keyboard in my profile pic is a boring ol' Dell with rubber domes that I use as one of my backups. I dolled it up with a paint job and stickers. I have 2 other painted backups as well--a Dell Quiet Keys and a Mitsumi :D

Welcome!

The IBM Model M is my go-to weapon for the zombie apocalypse. Also, it's great to type on. :p

Enjoy your stay! This is a great community. :thumb:

Oh, by the way, thanks for welcoming me, everyone.

The Model M would also be my choice for a zombie melee weapon; I would duel-wield the two that I own. The detachable cables make for good whips, too.

Might just be a reference to the temperature?
