Sorry for double post. I got a 503 bad gateway when I tried to post it so I hit back and post again and ended up double posting :(
Mod please take care of this?
Hiya GH.
I love keyboards. I do a lot of typing. Grew up with a Model M as my first keyboard and all through childhood I loved what was dubbed by everyone around me as "That loud crunchy keyboard" and "KACHINK KACHINK KACHINK"
Eventually moved into manual typewriters and had an obsession with those and a pretty decent collection. A whole bunch of Royals and Remingtons and SCs. The Smith-Corona Silentwriter was my daily driver and my favorite of the bunch, although I did adore a Royal 5 and a Remington No.2
So after using scissor switch keyboards in laptops and apple stuff for a while, I eventually came back around to mech boards and got reintroduced to Cherry. Started on MX Blues and loved them. Sampled the rest and eventually settled on MX Black as my favorite. Just getting into the world of custom springs, stickers, and lube right now... just starting to explore.
I type a lot. I do caption/subtitle work, I do translation (Japanese to English and Vietnamese to English), and with a useless Music Tech degree, I also do recording, engineering, and producing. I play a buncha instruments and yadda yadda.
I've done a lot of the captions for Netflix and a bunch of TV stuff, and Japanese translation you've probably seen of mine, I've translated for Mangastream for the last 6-7 years (it was binktopia before mangastream), along with a lot of other random manga all over the internet. (I've had a few different handles I've translated under).
Having a mech board totally makes all that typing a joy and has taken a lot of the fatigue out of the process, it feels like I type faster and more accurately... but more importantly, I just enjoy the process a lot more.
Anyways, been lurking a while but now that I'm starting to seek out custom boards, springs, and lube and all that and really wanna start digging into stuff like that, I figured I should stop lurking and introduce myself.
I've been posting a lot on r/mk, but as I get deeper in, I've been gravitating over here.
anyways. nice to meet you all! ヨロシク！

I can see why you looked for quality keyboard , you seem to be quite a typist . How fast do you type ?
Also where are you from ?

Quite the interesting typing history you have there, really neat read. I hope you have some fun here, and prepare your wallet!

Welcome to Geekhack!
Wow! That's probably one of the most serious uses of a keyboard I have heard about.
Btw have you tried MX greens? They have the stiffness of blacks but with the clicky feedback of blues. Probably the closest MX switch to buckling spring.
