Hi there...
I've been lurking in the shadows pretty heavily over the past couple of months and today decided to bite the bullet and get involved. Still learning a lot about keyboards and i'm looking forward to spending more money learning more in the future.
Speak soon!

Welcome!
Any particular keyboards or switch types that have caught your interest?

Keyboard-wise, I grabbed my first board from Massdrop in the form of a MagicForce 82, but because of the insane waiting time to take delivery of it (and my impatience), I bit the bullet and grabbed a MagicForce 68 to put me on till my 82 arrived. Turns out I massively prefer the 68 and I've also realised that I love smaller keyboards.
To jump in at the deep end, I grabbed a Gherkin PCB and plate kit and started to put that together the other week... it’s pretty awesome!
As for aspirations, I'm Looking at picking up a Planck (or similar), I really want a Vortex Core, and I think I'm going to build a couple of GH60’s in the near future too.
Basically, this hobby is ending my wallet on a weekly basis!
Switch wise, Gateron Greens are my favourite switches (so far). I don't have the biggest frame of reference but it's a toss up between Gateron Greens and Cherry Blues at the moment. However, I'm looking at grabbing some Kailh Gold and Bronze switches soon, and they'll be built into a couple of custom 60 builds I think.

Welcome and good on you for coming out of the shadows. I'm hoping to get a Planck myself sometime this year.
