Hey, Matt!
Like you I'm a new guy and maybe looking to buy some stuff (a mechanical keyboard, for starters, as all I've got at the moment is an old Dell rubber dome). How have you liked your Quickfire? Are you a gamer? I use my keyboard exclusively for typing, which made me think Quickfires wouldn't be right for me, as they don't seem to marketed toward typists. But then again I've read that they're basically rebranded Filcos and are pretty great for just about anybody.
Anyway, welcome!
