Title: Hello. This is me.
Post by: GrandLoki on Mon, 25 February 2019, 10:08:09

I own a Corsair K70.  I used to have the clicky, but I found the Cherry Red for cheaper and swapped.  It was a bad idea in the long run but I put up with it.  Now I need to move that keyboard to the side and replace it.  Nothing by it, I'm just shuffling some components around and the Corsair is moving desks. That leaves me without a keyboard!  NOOOOooooo!

Then I discovered the term "Mechanical Keyboard" and started researching. I found that it's my preferred type of keyboard after everything I've typed on, and I've used quite a few keyboards. I hate the bump, I hate the hard press of a generic keyboard. I love my smooth Reds with no weight to them, I just aim my finger and, click, the letter appears. So now that I've researched some, I've found my way here!

I am a redditor and have viewed all the pretties, but now I need a pretty.  I don't know how it will end up.  I don't know how I'm going to build it!?  I just know I'm going to sink hundreds of dollars into making something that I will love forever.  Something that I want, not just some boxed product designed to make the population happy.  I need my keys to be FREE!  ... or something like that.

Anyway, I'm a Nor-Cal idiot who wants to make a keyboard.  BUT I have no clue where to go as there are just so many options.  To start myself I found a cheap kit with a case, frame, and PCB. 60. I figured it was a popular one, I could put some blues in it and some pretty caps and try it out for a beginner. However I've seen to many builds to say "Hey, that's awesome." and just keep it at that. I know this won't satisfy me.  I know this rabbit hole will go deeper and suck me down it but I'm looking forward to it honestly.

So!  Hello everyone.  I need your help.  Please, help this noob with a few things.  Share your ideas with me?  Linkys for anything you think is fun that you want me to see?  And maybe, just say hi?  XD
