Title: Hola from Argentina
Post by: gaucho_81 on Thu, 05 March 2015, 22:18:13

Hello people

I am Gabriel From Argentina.. I have been a keyboard enthusiast for some time now, been reading this forum for a while also, never registered for some reason, but lately my "addiction" have been reaching new levels, so I came here searching for support, LOL.
I started some time ago, on the search for a Model M, The Model M was the first keyboard i touched in my life ( Back on school when a was a kid my first experience with a computer was a IBM XT-286) the sound and feel get stuck in my head for life.

My weapon of choice is the model M, I have one at work, at home and on my gf apartment (she is no amused with it). I like it clicky and tactile :)). Have some newer keyboards which I switch to regularly for gaming or a more quiet experience, MX Blue (K70 and Razor "green" kailh), and some alps clone keyboards, a late fk2001 and a Rosewill rk 6000.

I regularly buy old keyboards for my collection, is not a easy task here in Argentina but im persistent.
I Will post some of my keyboards later. (nothing special really) The most strange example i found here is a unbranded TW keyboard with SMK vintage Clone switches (HTK i guess) a few weeks ago.

PD: Sorry about my english, One of the reasons i have never registered here was because of how horrible i am writing in english.

Best Regards
Gabriel.

Welcome to Geekhack!

It sounds like you have a nice collection!  The trick is to be patient, and eventually all sorts of keyboards will come your way.

And your language is fine :)  I've know a lot of native English speakers who cannot form sentences as well.

On the other hand I do know some foreigners who continually make the same silly mistakes literally transcribing from their native language to English, but by now I automatically translate those in my head as I am reading.

I speak and write in no other language, btw, apart from a few words or phrases here and there.
