Title: Keyboard scrublord reporting in
Post by: Weltschmerz on Tue, 12 August 2014, 18:53:48
Hey Geekhack. I've decided to descent into the madness that is "Getting a mechanical keyboard". I've done a good(?) amount of research and will most likely be building a keyboard of my own soon. I went to the local microcenter and checked out their keyboards, and while they were a step up from the logitech rubber dome I was using, they're certainly not like the ones here. I figured I'd join in on the fun of this board, as well as eventually build a "keyboard collection".

Welcome to Geekhack!

Happy to have you join our community and I can't wait to see what kind of custom keyboard you are going to build.
Make sure to post some pictures when you finish building your first keyboard!

"done a good(?) amount of research" - glad you included the question mark - you probably have more questions now than answers :p

Oh it's gonna be awesome! I think... perhaps. Only issue I'm having now is with keycaps, and it seems like signatureplastics has the most colors availible (and in PBT :D) but I'm not sure what "family" to order, and I'm trying to get some nice colors going on. Don't want it to look like a garbage board. Thinking something along the lines of red esc, power blue service keys, and grey for the 1x keys. No idea as of now...
