Title: Hello All
Post by: PicklesKill on Sat, 02 May 2015, 17:43:51

I have been reading through this forum for about a year now and felt I should start to participate since I spend so much time reading these boards. I look forward to filling my recently cleaned out extra closet. ;D

As a follow up question If anyone uses the CODE keyboard from WASD with browns I would love to hear what you think about it as I am looking to make that my next purchase.

Welcome to Geekhack!

There are a few reviews of the CODE keyboard:

From what I've heard they are excellent keyboards, although some of the earlier models suffered from pinging.

Welcome to GH! I've heard the construction of WASD boards are not the best but they have the simple shape and LEDs. If you want something more study/solid without the LEDs pick up a KUL-ES87(I can vouch I'm typing on one now) or a Filco. If you have any questions feel free to hit me up! Good luck! :D

Thanks LXXXIX I just ordered a KUL-ES87  ;D it was 30 cheaper than the WASD and will have free same day delivery, thanks Amazon. I will miss my backlighting but typing in the dark probably isn't that good for me anyways so I'm sure I will get over it pretty quick and from what I read about it I can also use it as a home defense weapon if I cant get to a gun in time.  So WINNING!
