Hi, I'm new to the forum and Mechanical Keyboards!

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to the whole keyboard thing! I have a Corsair K70 with Cherry MX Blue key switches. Tell me about your guys keyboards, and which switches you guys enjoy. I'm looking forward to collect more and be very active on the forums!

Welcome to Geekhack!

There are many threads where people post pictures, reviews and stories about their favourite keyboards :)

Browse around, and I'm sure you'll find some of them (especially in the media section.

Personally I like stiffer switches, such as MX greens and blacks, and buckling spring (typing this on one of my Model M keyboards).
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Welcome to the forums! The K70 with MX Blues was a fine choice. I personally use an IBM Model F keyboard that's a few decades old.

Welcome to GH!

I recent switched out the Cherry MX red switches with blues on my K95. I enjoy reds for gaming and blue for daily use.

If you're interested in the stuff that you're asking there's tons of threads covering stuff like that =)
