Hi everybody!
I just bought my first keyboard (Kul ES-87) after a couple months of waiting and lurking and WOW. My only regret is that I didn't pull the trigger sooner. Typing is such a breeze and just feels so much nicer than the chiclet type keyboard I was using on my ThinkPad. Anyways, glad to be here and hope to get to know all of y'all better!

Welcome to Geekhack!
A great choice for your first mech :) It's amazing how we manage to go so long without a proper keyboard :))
Which switches did you get?
-
Sorry about the super late reply! I got Cherry MX Blue switches. Although now, I'm thinking of getting a keycap set for them since I'm not a fan of the ABS plastic.

No worries :)
ABS is well and good, particularly in thick keycaps like GMK, but the thin ones provided by many keyboard manufacturers almost seem to be asking to be replaced.
Fortunately the number of PBT replacement sets is always increasing :)

Welcome to GH. The universe of key caps for Cherry mx is large and varied. Have fun!

greetings from a nubie,
good choice for you first mech keyboard, I think you should try to replace it with PBT Leopold , they feel comfortable and solid

Welcome to GH; I'm relatively new as well. Great choice.

Oh goodness. So it's been a good couple of months with my ES-87, but I just pre-ordered another keyboard: the backlit Pok3r. Why are keyboards so addicting... This hobby will not be good for my wallet :'( :'( :'(

I think I'll let my wallet get a bit fatter before I experience the good feeling of oneness with cup rubber. :))

Did you order another keyboard to try a different switch? That's always a good excuse ;)

Hahah. I got the Pok3r with MX Clears so I guess I subconciously did. Pretty soon, I'll be getting into the world of ergonomic KB's, topre, and the slippery slope of custom keyboards :eek:
