Title: Hello GeekHack long time lurker here
Post by: altrunox on Sun, 24 May 2015, 13:49:30
Hello all, well I've been a lurker here for a while, like two years!
I started my keyboard jorney in a local forum, mostly due to wetto!

Well my first keyboard was a Keycool 84 with blacks!

Last year I got the Rapid-I from a raflle made by wetto  :cool:

And after a while I got the FC660M in a blue case!

My only aftermarket keycaps were bought from another user, Smeagol_RP. At first I used it with my Rapid-I although I started to miss the cherry blue and them swapped it to the Leopold! I still have to find a better right switch, though. Oh yeah, and I just have a potato camera, sorry.

Now as I said I'm looking for a right shift for the Leo, and for a PBT set for the Keycool 84, and after it I'll get a set for the Rapid -I.

Welcome to Geekhack!

The FC660M unfortunately does have an odd layout, which makes it almost impossible to find a suitable replacement set, without making compromises as you have already had to to.

Still, a nice collection to start with :)  You seem to prefer smaller keyboards too ;)

How do you like the Keycool 84 with blacks? I'm a huge 75% fan, thinking of getting this one with blacks as well.

Thanks, well I may solve the problem with the Leopold with a blanck white shift. Have it in a blue case makes it even harder to match, sometimes I think that I should have got the grey case...

Yeah, I really like smaller keyboard, but they must have the arrow keys.

I love the layout, my dream endgame keyboard ATM is something like the Duck Octagon. Despite the layout, the keycool build quality lacks in comparisson with the Rapid-I and the FC660M, it doesn't feel as solid as the others, although I've had no issues with it so far, and it's my most used keyboard, since I use it everyday on my work and I'm a programmer, so I type a lot.

I like it so much that I even plan to add a wood case to it, with dolch keycaps ::)
