Welcome!
Great collection you got there :)
Welcome!
With all those ALPS boards you should be sure to check out some of the current interest checks. Seems like there might finally be some decent keycap options for those switches! The Matias QC are one of my absolute favorites. I switch between the modern 60% boards and an old IBM as well. Each provides a wonderfully different experience. Of those you have tried do you have a particular favorite?
Based on your listed interests, you are likely to find a lot of like minded people around here. There is a whole subforum on Making Stuff Together for those of us that are into the DIY thing. And of course, building our own boards there is a lot of talk of electronics and computers. :thumb:
Welcome to Geekhack!
A good variety of keyboards and switches you have there :)
Any plans on which keyboard you'd like next?
Welcome Muffinbottoms!
You've got a great collection. I'm wondering what you think of the Planck assuming you are not used to ortholinear keyboards. I've always wanted to try a good one just to see how difficult it would be to switch.
Thanks! c:
Hmmm, I got the NKPC switch tester and as for MX switches I'm putting them on the back burner, my next goal is to try and secure a Topre board! :D
Nice collection of Alps so far! Which layout did you choose for the Infinity, standard or hacker?
Great collection AND great username :thumb:
Do you have a favorite so far?
Thanks! c:

That's an excellent idea! :D

Thanks a lot!
I foolishly went for the hacker layout so that I could make finding keycaps even more difficult for myself haha :P
Did you get an infinity as well? What switch and layout?

I bought two Infinities during round 2: a standard layout with MX browns, and a hacker with Matias Quiets. That makes us Infinity twins! I think you're really going to like that Infinity with the Quiet Clicks once you get it assembled. Those switches are buttery smooth. But you're right about keycaps, they really don't exist yet. That's why I'm currently running an interest check for a 60% Alps keycap set which includes full compatibility for Infinity, AEKII, and Dell AT101(W) boards:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/qKKVqLR.png)
If this buy succeeds, it will be the first successful community-run GB for a full (60%) set of Alps caps. Here's a link to the IC thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=74783.0) in case you're interested.
