Title: Quick shipping!
Post by: Zero-Expectations on Mon, 18 August 2014, 21:16:10
When looking for my first mechanical keyboard I searched for weeks!!! (yes really...) I couldn't decide what I wanted, or where to buy, but after reading quite a bit I decided on a Poker 2 with MX Blues.

Then began the price comparison between sites... & MechanicalKeyboards.com had the best price with free shipping! I was planning on waiting until the next massdrop then I realized it can take months for it to be posted again, and months again for delivery. I couldn't wait to get my board, so I went with MK.com and their free standard shipping (3-5) days, but to my surprise it arrived in 2! I had a bonus of using my new board over the weekend & get used to it before the next work week!

Thanks MechanicalKeybaords.com!

I will note, I had some issues viewing the larger images on some of the keyboards pictures.

I've found that sometimes you need to F5/Refresh the page and then the image will enlarge properly.

Yeah, not sure. I tried that, along with another browser and had issues. It acts like its going to do something then just get the loading icon with "black" overlay, but nothing ever loads. No worries, I ordered anyways!

It's hard to disappoint someone with low expectations!  :))

Thanks for the kind words!

Actually you went about it backwards.  You should have found a store with good prices and good shipping first, rather than deciding on a keyboard, finding a site, and then being distracted and tempted by all of the other nice keyboards they have in stock :p

Glad the story has a happy ending though ;D

+1 for MK though - my Ducky Shine Yellow came from there - hasn't missed a beat :)

Congrats on your first mech :D the part where you research and find out which board you want is the toughest one (except the waiting when you've bought one), but it's also the step in the process that is the most fun :D it took me almost two months of browsing around before I finally decided :)) I know how you feel!

"Enjoy the feeling" or whatever it says on the spacebar :p

Ouch, and I thought the 2 or 3 weeks I researched was bad... :eek:
