Title: Hi, new member here!
Post by: BLaZe on Mon, 23 November 2015, 16:08:42
Hello everyone, I'm blaze, living in France and currently a student  :)
I've been quite interested in mechanical keyboards even before I bought my first one 1 year ago: a steelseries 6gv2 Black switches. My old keyboard that came with a pc was really in a bad state, dirty and sometimes keys were stick in  :( So, I've made up my mind between keeping my old one and finaly buying a mech one. I didn't really have the choice between mech keyboard, not so many different keyboards in my local store. Ended up with the 6gv2, and... it was really confortable to play with, especially on osu. Since then I wanted to try other ones, and bought a ducky year of the goat (red) and a filco majestouch 2 tkl (blue). And I'm ogling on HHKB or Pok3r. I can't decide.
However I have a huge problem  :confused: I use as less as possible my 2 white keyboards ( filco and ducky) because I don't want to dirty them  ;D But I love white keyboards :'(

I'm already spending my lunch time at university reading topics on GH about custom keyboards & keycaps  :)) I have never tried topre or alps, I wish I could one day  :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

You will probably end up getting both the HHKB and the Pok3r eventually anyway ;)

Just make sure you wash your hands before using the keyboard, don't eat near the keyboard, and wipe the dust off occasionally.

Thanks  :)
Yeah, I'm always washing my hands, like every 30 minutes, to keep my mice and keyboard really clean, but I think I'm turning into a cleaning maniac; Cleaning the dust every days or 2 days  :))

Relevant thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71917.20), which unfortunately is locked for some reason.

I've given up with dust at home - I live in a very dusty area, and a thin layer of visible dust appears after a day.
