Title: Hi from SoCal
Post by: maddingo on Sat, 16 May 2015, 03:33:13: Hello,

several year mechanical keyboard user here:

I have had several mechanical keyboards for awhile now..

WASD V1 (MX BROWN) /w dampers and white pbt keycaps now
Rosewill RK-9000RE (MX Red) w/ dampers)
Cherry G81-1800HAU (doubleshot keycaps) ..this one got at a thrift store it wasn't working reseated cables works now)

and I just got a Filco Majestouch2 TKL (MX RED) w/ dampers ... been trying the Filco out since tues ..quite pleased so far.

waiting on some pbt double shot key caps for it.

Post by: maddingo on Sat, 16 May 2015, 20:41:58: thanx for the welcome.

lol.. good part I guess... we are a bit north of LA in T.O. ..

I probably will be getting some more key caps shortly... I'm thinking about getting a model M but I'm not sure how well those things work with modern gaming?

I guess if you use the recent homeless numbers as a metric (45,000), LA has its southern neighbors beat.

Nice selection of keyboards, and a nice workstation you have :)

Btw there is a thread where you can post your desk (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=57987.0), and another where you can post your audio gear (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=70627.0).

It doesn't help the OC likes to dump their homeless on skid row.

It's the Southern California tradition. Dump the homeless everywhere but your own county. It's even better with the hospitals. This homeless person is better, *wink* *wink*, they really want to live in L.A. don't they, *wink* *wink*.

Post by: demik on Sun, 17 May 2015, 00:38:35: Yup. Hospitals are good at that.

Post by: maddingo on Sun, 17 May 2015, 01:33:30: lol.... I don't know about the whole homeless thing.. there are actually a fair number here in T.O. I mean not like LA or something but some for sure...and in Ventura ..there are a lot.

before coming to T.O. (job change) my wife and I had been living in SD area (20~miles north on the coast..Encinitas ) it is very nice... honestly I'd rather move back there if i could but not viable atm...

My wife is convinced at this point I have ENOUGH keyboards.... lol.. oh well I will hide them from her??? when I doubtless get more... I would like to get a couple more i can think of a KUL 87 with clears and one of the topre clones (or maybe even an actual Topre???) ... i will have to tread sort of lightly having just got the Filco however for a little bit at least.
