Title: Hello from Boston
Post by: GravityTheory on Tue, 24 January 2017, 12:41:42: Looking forward to learning more about mechs! Just built my PC in November and got the GSKILL KM 780 RGB with brown switches. The creativity and worksmanship of the artisan keys on here got me to make an account.

Yep it is right on Memorial Drive and shares a plaza with a Starbucks and Trader Joes. I hadn't even known it existed until I moved into the city about 3 years ago. Now I don't go a few months without stopping in. Sometimes if I don't really need anything big I go just to get a bottle of Bawls (yup they have all flavors of it).

BTW, that Micro Center location has a test keyboard in the keyboard/mouse aisle with every manner of Cherry MX switch installed and labeled (to my knowledge). It is worth a trip there just to go try it. unless you are a MX pro and know all the feels of them by heart... ;)
