Hello all!
I put off buying a mechanical keyboard for 3-4 years, until I caved at the start of this month and bought a Ducky Zero Shine TKL (DK2087S).
I really like it! .. and then I saw the Atomic keyboard and thought it would be a good excuse to play around with electronics and microcontrollers, so I bought that too!
Just waiting for a new soldering iron, since the one I bought didn't seem to ever get hot :/ Once it's all done I'll post a thread with pics etc :)
That's it!

Welcome to GH!
You're going to be right at home here!
What soldering iron did you decide to go with?
-
I originally bought one from Maplins (which didn't work), so I decided to get the Hakko FX888D (from Dancap) that everyone recommends.

Nice choice!
I'm should really consider getting a better iron than this $4 one i have XD

Welcome to Geekhack!
That Atomic keyboard looks interesting, I don't think I've heard of that one before. Now I've got to try to remember about it, as every now and again someone asks about a non-staggered matrix keyboard :))
