Title: A fellow soon-to-be enthusiast with an empty wallet.
Post by: Nackers on Thu, 27 November 2014, 13:55:28: Hey guys, my name is Nackers. I found this place perusing reddit looking for new key caps.

I currently have 2 mechanical keyboards and one on way. The first, a DAS Ultimate S w/ blank keys. Amazing keyboard. I just recently purchased a Ducky Shine 3 with CherryMx Blues and magenta LEDs. Love the keyboard. I love the features of it, but I definitely liked typing on the DAS more. Less typing fatigue and just overall smoother.

I just joined the recent Poker II massdrop. This will be my first 60% keyboard and I'm really excited. I think I'll bring the Poker II to work for my mac mini. My das is there now but the is huge - want something smaller. I got a White Poker II,backlit w/ Cherry Mx Blues. SO EXCITED.

Here is my Ducky Shine 3 with my current setup.

And here is my Das at work w/ my Mac Mini

I joined this forum because I have read a lot of good things. I've also read a lot about trustworthy people in the marketplace which is always nice to hear. Sounds like you guys have a great thing going here and I'd love to be a part of it. I'm just starting to get into the Mk world and i'm already loving it. Seeing everyone with these custom setups with different key caps and sleeved USB cables...it's all so interesting and it's so inspiring to everyone working on things they love. There is something about these keyboards and accessories being harder to get that makes the whole hobby ominous and exciting. And frankly it's quite addicting. I just realized i've spent about $450 in just keyboard this past year. I don't regret a single thing.

I hope you all have a fantastic Thankgiving!

A smaller keyboard definitely goes well with the Mac mini - I am using a HHKB with mine at the moment. Anything else seems to dwarf the mini, especially my Model M :))
