Hello GeekHack! You guys know me as M1keHonch0. Ive been lurking around here for a year or so, Ive joined some discussions, and a few group buys. I love this community! I do spend a bit more time on Reddit than I do here, just because Ive been Redditing for a very long time. Anyways, without further adieu, I am here to introduce our new venture,

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=85838.0TheKey.Company: We're Jason "m1keh0nch0" and Brian "unclebrudy", Reddit /u/mechmarket traders (it was a Stump v1 for SA Carbon's Warning Signs kit + $2,000,000 PP gift in case you were curious) before becoming TKC. After inundating each other with random musings and ideas via Reddit PM and afterwards Hangouts, we decided that it'd be swell to start our own mech endeavor.
Group buys sometimes suck. We'll do our best to make them suck a little less. Stay tuned for some great mech accessories we hope you'll enjoy, as we are not solely here to run Group Buys. For now, we hope you start this journey with us from scratch, just like we are. Between the two of us, we have a bunch of confirmed successful trades on /r/mechmarket, and considering many of you have our home addresses you can rest assured we do not want let you down. (Ha!)
I'm Jason. Ive been a computer geek since learning programming on my Atari 400. About 10 years ago I stumbled upon the DAS keyboard when I was looking for a board with no legends on the keys. FFWD about 9 years and I saw a picture of a custom with SA caps on it and I was hooked! Since then Ive collected quite a few keysets and artisans as well as some really cool customs. I have a passion for the community and want to help innovate and bring great products and enthusiasts together! If anyone is asking, ErgoClears are my switch of choice but Topre is where my heart is.
Brian here. Being a desk jockey by day, I longed for my Model M2 from junior high for a period of time as a grown-up, the keyboard that came with the IBM PS/1 my mom bought me for school work. "School work". To fill that void and move on from rubber dome complacency, I found /r/mechanicalkeyboards, did some research, and started with a Gearhead Mechanical Keyboard with Kailh Reds from Frys. I'm so sorry. Fortunately, since then I've found love for building and customizing MX/MX-style boards and yes, above all, I <3 Topre. You can see me quarterly at the SoCal meetups and worry that I may drop my pizza on your daily.
