Title: Howdy everybody!
Post by: Wingpad on Sun, 12 June 2016, 15:28:19

I am a nineteen year old web developer/software engineer that has a predilection for heavy switches with a nice clack. I currently own:

• A Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition with Vintage MX Blacks and Blank PBT Keycaps (http://imgur.com/a/wDW8T)
• A Razer Blackwidow with MX Greens and Double-shot White PBT Keycaps and White LEDs
• A USB-Modded Black DELL AT101W with Double-shot ABS Keycaps and Matias Quiet Click Switches (http://imgur.com/a/2TqR3)
• A Bunch of Old Apple Keyboards and a older Cherry Board with MX Blacks (non-Vintage) and a stock AT101W
• A 60% Keyboard with ALPS Clickdamped Switches Blue Alps Switches and Apple Keycaps

I'm currently working on:

• A 60% Keyboard with SP's Think Different DSA Keycaps and Ghetto Greens (MX Blues with 62g Gold Springs)
• A DELL AT101W with linear damped switches (this one was mostly just to tinker, not a huge fan)

Looking to acquire an ALPS Blue board, Model M and Topre Board at some point in the near future; I've already resigned to emptying my wallet, haha. Thanks for having me!

Welcome to GeekHack!:cool:

I'd welcome you to WalletHack (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=67980.0) but it seems that you've discovered that already. :))

Happy Keyboarding!

Thank you, yes I have already discovered that, unfortunately (or is it fortunately?) :))

Welcome to Geekhack!

That's a nice mod to the AT101W!  Did you do that yourself?

By the way, are those Tai Hao keycaps on the AT101W?

Thanks, Rowdy! Yes, I did that mod to the AT101W myself and those are Tai Hao keycaps with the exception of the spacebar and caps lock which are dyed (via vinyl dye) original caps (since the caps from the Tai Hao set wouldn't work, the caps lock wasn't stepped and the spacebar needed costar style stabs).

It's nice when something comes together as well as that :)

And intensely annoying when there's only a couple of keycaps that don't fit!
