Title: Been a silent member for a while
Post by: iceman1925 on Sat, 04 July 2015, 01:13:55: Hi all, I've been a reader for a while but I think being more active is a good thing. I'm on reddit but I'd like to contribute here too.
I currently own a Ducky Mini in browns, a goldtouch keypad, a CMStorm rapid-I, a data911 tg3, an IBM SSK, and a no name white alps board. It'll be my pleasure to meet you all!

Post by: iceman1925 on Sat, 04 July 2015, 01:54:09: Thank you! I love all my babies equally ;) Really though, my CM Rapid-I is my main board at home, the Ducky is my portable take everywhere board, and I use the data911 for the HTPC in the living room. The tenkey pad I use when I do work with lots of numbers.

A nice collection you have, and a nice assortment of switches too.

That's a comfortable amount to spend.

If you're not careful, you can spend that much on one keycap :eek:

I try to space my buys out a bit now - it is so easy to go mad and buy nearly everything around here.

Post by: iceman1925 on Sun, 12 July 2015, 04:01:27: Yeah, I'm about to start limiting how much I spend per month on keyboard related items. It's just that artisan caps look beautiful and I want to support the people doing their best to make these caps for us.

Good luck with that! That's always that one extra unexpected artisan sale of that keycap that you hadn't seen before but now you absolutely have to have it :p

And congratulations on your HotKeys win :)
