Title: Hi all! Diving from logitech solar into the mechanical world!
Post by: punforgettable on Tue, 16 December 2014, 18:49:33

Hey everybody, recently started looking into mechanical keyboards for a new dev machine I'm building at home. Found this website and it has been invaluable for research.

Actually I just got my first mech keyboard, but have yet to hook it up! It's a 1989 Omnikey 102 Gold Label (found in grandpa's garage), but that's a story for a different thread!

Nice! Yeah I'm still running the k750 at work.. just for the sake of wireless.. but if my omnikey takes my fancy then that may change! What are you running now, anyway? Do you still use the logitech, as well?

I keep a brand new K750 just in case of emergencies but I've been using a Ducky Shine 2 with MX Clears for about a year and a half now.
