Title: Hello from Ottawa, Canada
Post by: computernut on Thu, 19 March 2015, 22:08:53

Hi there! I have always liked a good keyboard, back in the day I preferred NMB and Keytronics along with the lovely buckling-spring IBM's. I had a Northgate keyboard and actually still have a couple of IBM M15's. I spent many years working in IT but would always bring in my own keyboard but could never have anything too loud so mostly stuck with a Logitech membrane keyboard. I finally splurged a few years ago for a Das Keyboard (cherry browns) and bought my wife a custom WASD keyboard a couple of years ago. I finally picked up a Cooler Master Touch TKL with Topre switches just this week and thought I'd join the forum to give me crazy ideas ;)

Welcome to Geekhack!

Nothing is quite like the old buckling springs.  I was using one of mine today at work, and everyone else was quiet for a change, and after a bit of repetitive typing I realised how loud it actually is :))

Greetings from Ottawa.

Did you grab the Novatouch from Canada Computers, by chance? I tried one out there the other day.
