HI! Im new to the board, but have been lurking about for a week or so gathering info on what kind of keyboard i wanted. I didn't even know that modern mechanical keyboards existed until about a month ago when a friend of mine was telling me that they still made keyboards that "click". I have fond memories of playing Kings Quest on an old IBM board, and I immediately wanted one.
I didnt want to spend a ton of money out of the gate, so I bought a Xarmor U9 with browns (non-backlit). I think backlighting looks dumb, no matter how nice the board is. I ordered this board about a week ago, its still in the mail. In the interim, all iv been doing is looking up stuff on mech boards and listening to people typing on them. What the hell is happening to me? I never gave two ****s about keyboards before, but now im looking up keycap construction differences. I even made the kindof stupid choice of ordering a Choc Mini with blues about 3 hours ago. I didnt even really have the money to spend on that, not to mention that I havnt even recived my first board and i already ordered my second just becouse i want a brown and blue keyboard.
I also, like everyone else, want a Leopold.
This is outrageous.
Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks for all the information on this forum (albeit a bit picky at times) and its well versed members. Im sure ill share my enthusiasm or disappointment when these boards arrive.
