Title: I'm new to GH, but not Mechanicals.
Post by: Snagg57 on Sun, 16 August 2015, 19:25:44

I've always heard of this place but I really never checked it out until now because I've always had enough content from r/mk. But now I think i'm going to need the resources that GH has to possibly make my own keyboard soon™.

I currently own:

• CM Storm Quickfire XT w/MX Brown
• KUL ES-87 w/MX Clear
• KBP V60 w/MX White
• Unicomp Space Saver w/Buckling Springs
• Noppoo Lolita Spyder w/Kailh Blue
• CM Storm Novatouch w/ 45g Topre

Anyways I hope you guys will allow me to join in this wallet draining hobby.

Welcome!

Trust me this place will drain your wallet super fast. Been here under a month and I spent tons on boards and keycaps already.

Looking forward to seeing what you have cooking!

Welcome to Geekhack!

A nice collection of keyboards you already have, with a wide range of switches :)

Which keyboard are you planning to make?

Welcome to GH. You can find here and on Deskthority (DT) plenty of information on building and modifying keyboards of all kinds, including building from scratch or from kits. It is good that you are starting out with a fairly wide base of different switch types and keyboard form factors to help narrow down the kind of build you are thinking about.
