Title: Further down the rabbit hole we go.
Post by: Yin on Wed, 17 December 2014, 20:50:28
Picked up my first mechanical about a year ago. A Nighthawk X8 with MX Browns from Max Keyboard. At the time, I thought it was pretty ridiculous to be charging around $150 for a keyboard.

Fast-forward to the present day and I've got a Realforce 87UB 55g on the way from EK and am currently looking into a 60%... What have I done?  :eek:

But, really though, it's great to meet you guys. I'd never thought I'd be so captivated by mechanical keyboards and it's nice to know that I'm not the only crazy one out there.  I look forward to taking part in some group buys and maybe grabbing myself a nice novelty to slap on this Realforce sometime soon. :thumb:

You definitely aren't the only crazy one. But then who said we were crazy?

Welcome :)

Not to be pedantic, but it's literally the third result from Google when you search for "Geekhack". Everyone knows we're a little crazy when it comes to mech boards  :thumb:

Welcome and enjoy. Both mechanical keyboards and being broke due to mechanical keyboards.

It's an interesting little world that not many are aware of, yet.  :cool:
