Title: Whats up!
Post by: Almada71 on Thu, 10 March 2016, 16:05:09

So I'm new here on GeekHack and id thought Id say hello. Ive wanted a mech for a while but never gotten one until about a month ago. Within the past month I have picked up a Royal Kludge board with kailh browns. Then a matias quiet click, then i decided to order a custom board from MaxKeyboard with cherry greys. Then i ordered a Pok3r with clears. I love tactile switches. So thank you for having me here! I look forward to reading and learning more about building a board next!

I liked them quite a bit. They feel very nice, but louder then my greys and clears.

Welcome to Geekhack!

A whole keyboards with grays?  Yikes!  Strong fingers?

If you had to choose just one of your keyboards, which would it be?

Yup! Entirely greys! and I love it! And if I had to pic a board it would probably be my max keyboard with greys, closely followed by my pok3r with clears. and im a big dude with strong fingers, I love heavy switches. Probably going to try greens next.

Quiet click switches are great!  Had i not become obsessed with Topre i likely would have made my next purchase of one.

In that case you probably need to try a buckling spring keyboard - a Model M or a Model F.  Can't beat the feel of those, and the sounds :)  And the PBT keycaps!

You guys are probably right. I need to find me a nice IBM buckling spring keyboard. And those 122 models look perfect! Heavy duty!

I nearly was about to order a Unicomp myself at one point but read/heard LOTS of complaints about them all over with QC.  Maybe one day i'll order/trade for a Bolt Modded IBM.

Good for hand to hand combat, should you ever tire of using them to type on, or have a particularly bothersome workmate.
