"My name is kaboomd and i'm addicted to keyboards"
So I figure I might fit in pretty well here.
I ended up finding this site because i'd had a bit of extra time on my hands recently and decided to find myself a hobby. I was a hardcore gamer for awhile, up until a few years ago when my priorities changed and I just no longer had the time for it. So I decided I'd get back into casually gaming again. To do that I needed to get a new computer since I only had a laptop for school. While browsing online to learn which pc would be optimal to buy, I learned (as many do) how much money I could save by building my own instead. So I figured Hey! theres another thing I could do/learn in my spare time. As a longish time redditor my search to learn more about building my own pc eventually lead to /r/MechanicalKeyboards, and I was hooked. After being linked to GH from there a few times and checking this site out, I figured that I oughta join.
I wanted to start with a backlit keyboard for my first mech because I had really enjoyed the rubber dome I used to game with (setiek something or other) that had a few colors. After figuring i'd like the tactical response, I got a corsair k70 RGB with browns last week (right when I finished my computer) which I love so far. However, after realizing that since I don't spend my time on the computer just staring at the keyboard, backliting isn't as big of a deal to me. With that and wanting to try out other switches, I just ordered CM storm quick fire stealth /w blues from the massdrop . Even though I'm super excited for that, I'm already wanting to get a poker II to try out haha.
And thats about it
