Title: Hello from Germany!
Post by: callofcandy on Tue, 01 March 2016, 15:54:53: Hi there,

I am pretty new to the mechanical keyboard community. But so far I love everything about it :D

I bought myself a Qisan MagicForce 68 Keyboard with Gateron Blue switches. Just yesterday I upgraded it with cherry MX compatible keycaps from a old Triumph Adler 7007L typewriter and I think it looks gorgeous ;)

I also started to design my own 3D printable keycaps right away. Four mayan themed keycaps for now but I plan on doing more.

Cheers!

Another keyboard I haven't heard of, the Qisan MagicForce 68!

Sometimes greeting new members it seems that everyone has a Pok3r, or every has an HHKB. Today it seems everyone has a different keyboard :))

There is actually a review of the Qisan MagicForce 68 here (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=79262.0). Sounds like an interesting keyboard, a mostly positive review.

I originally bought the MagicForce smart with LED backlight and black switches for my brother as a birthday gift.
I thought I could use a new keyboard myself so I got myself the non backlit version with blue switches.

I somehow got sucked into this :))

I definitely want to try out a Pok3r or HHKB sometime. I am also lurking around on garage sales, thriftshops and such, haha.

And yep, I (apparently) am the mayan keycap guy. I designed them for fun and got so much positive responses on reddit, that I went on and made them available on shapeways in my little shop :)

I am designing a new keycap right now as a matter of fact ;D

Ohhhh, I saw your post on the r/keycapdesigners thread, very nice ;D Welcome! I'm looking forward to seeing more of those casts you're making using 3D printed masters :thumb:

Pok3r and HHKB are two of the most popular 60% keyboards. You won't go wrong with either of them.
