Hello from Holland
« on: Tue, 18 March 2014, 12:35:02 »
Hello everyone,

My name is Michiel, nickname MiBe, I'm 22 years old and live in Breda, The Netherlands. I've been a fan of mechanical keyboards for a couple of years now. I switch keyboards quite often so I've had quite a few already, at the moment I own these puppies:
-Ducky Shine 3 (MX Blue / Magenta LED)
-Ducky DK1087 TKL (Black Alps)
-IBM Model M (1391401 / 11-14-90)
-Logitech G710+ (MX Brown / White LED)
-CM Storm QuickFire TK (MX Brown / White LED)
-SteelSeries 6Gv2 Red Edition (MX Red)

The Model M is my favourite, unfortunately it doesn't register enough simultaneous keypresses so the Ducky Shine 3 is my usual keyboard. At university I use the QuickFire TK in combination with my laptop. The main reason I signed up was because I'd like to learn more about the keyboards that are quite unknown in the Western-European region. For example the different Asian brands out there and the very compact (60% and 75%) models.

Then some quick facts about me:
-Study: International Media & Entertainment Management (NHTV University)
-Work: News editor at Hardware.Info
-Sport: Badminton
-Other: Themepark enthusiast

If you want to know more, don't hesitate to ask!

Regards,

Michiel

@ideus: Thank you :) I was afraid for that already, especially with all the available custom stuff it can end up quite expensive :P

@irendulic: Thanks :) A bit more to the competitive side, I play matches almost every weekend.
