Hello all!
I got into the hobby what feels like years ago but really only a few months ago in the cold months of the winter :) Since then I feel like I have accomplished and been through a lot. I've been pretty active within the Reddit community /u/vito687 and a long time lurker here but couldn't quite get the hang of a forum-style site I felt like it was all too much . I have since discovered tapatalk and finally feel like it is manageable! As far as my keyboard journey I started with a switch tester and fell in love with some clicky blues. I wanted to get something with a lot of support, solid construction , and easy to find so I went with a backlit pok3r. Since then I have been through two keysets on it and a custom cable. I loved BBV2's from the start but quickly learned that even with some $$ to throw at it they are a very elusive cap so I moved on with my artisan game and got a gemkey from massdrop and a Warmaster. Speaking of artisans I also learned RNGsus is a very finicky God , only just recently winning two of approx 8 raffles entered. Lastly I got myself a backlit Planck with gat yellows and did a lot of hunting and bargaining to get myself the modern selectric keyset for it and I really like it as my night time keyboard. This has been such a fun journey into a really interesting albeit expensive hobby and I look forward to getting more involved. I'm already thinking of building a 75% keyboard from winkeyless and toying with the idea of zealios ! Nice to e-meet you all(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160420/f80c1c1451ff5820cc5601efe2fd8191.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160420/b847e569b8c28487eadb4b9596afa64c.jpg)

That's one of my lucky raffle wins after all my losses. I also have 5 fugu coming!

Welcome to Geekhack!
Pok3r is a great reliable keyboard :)
You have won 2 out of 8 RNG? That's 25% - impressive, and far better than most people do.
BBV2 might be end of life, so keep an eye on classifieds as they do occasionally appear.

Omg does this mean I need to pledge something to you now ;)? I'm actually 3/9 now I won my first bro! I've been participating for much longer on the Reddit side so I've seen BBV2's come and go but I haven't really had any bargaining chips , maybe some of my extra fugu will help

The value of a trade is in the eye of the receiver. Or something. Someone might want to trade a BBV2 for a Fugu or two ...

That's what I'm hoping :) I feel like I have somewhat of a decent collection of items to be able to trade
