Title: Hi guys! New here!
Post by: chyros on Sun, 25 January 2015, 14:07:39

Hello everyone, how's it going.

Name's Tom, I'm 27 years old and currently living in the UK. I do chemistry, and a few months ago, when my trusty Sony (dome) keyboard finally kind of died, I wanted to get a nice, old clicky keyboard to replace it. Ever since, I've been hunting for keyboards, and have been able to get quite a few for free by looking around the uni (though I did shell out for one or two, haha). I currently have two Cherries, two Chiconys, a Dell (I had another three but I stripped them), an Acer (again, stripped another two) and a Model M. I hope to acquire more stuff over time :) .

I've been lurking around here for a while, and it's a really nice forum as far as I can see :) .

I've made youtube videos on some of my keyboards, if anyone is interested. I try to test each one thoroughly before I review it so there's a few weeks between each. For those who are interested, I made a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL285ATFsHGY9JnaQemdjRLEMmLRKpmbfB

On a more serious note, yes GH is a nice place!  People come for the keyboards and a lot stay for the community. :thumb:

Haha yeah, I can see how this becomes addictive xD . Luckily so far most of my stuff has been free, so I've been spared from bankruptcy (so far) :P .

Welcome to Geekhack!

If you've found somewhere to obtain old keyboards at no (or minimal) cost, you're already ahead of the game!

Nice one :)
