Hi, I didn't know mechanical keyboards were even a thing until a few days ago, despite having an addiction to clicky things all my life (perfect nintendo buttons, battery compartments on remote controls). I was looking at a roundup of gaming keyboards on Polygon which was all RGB backlit RAZERs and stuff - not my sort of thing at all - and someone in the comments section absolutely slated the article and named a few other boards like Filco Majestouch, etc and I've pretty much done nothing but look at geekhack, the mech subreddit and youtube vids since then. I also think I've discovered I have ASMR...
Anyway, I'm a video editor/vfx guy using flame, adobe suite and other things. I'm just about to build a PC (longtime MAC user) and am thinking of trying to learn UNITY or Gamemaker for videogame making, which has led me down the path of needing to learn to code, which ties in nicely with me needing a nice keyboard. The enthusiasm and level of detail in this community is astounding and has been a rich source of information. I was freelancing at a production company yesterday, doing my usual thing and and became hyper-aware of how many keystrokes didn't register and how many times I had to undo things to correct for this. It was killing me! I guess I never knew there was a better way!
I seem to be zoning in on buying a Leopold 660m from widebasket on ebay, something that wouldn't be happening without this community right here. So thanks! I feel like I've gone down a deep rabbithole, can see myself ending up with a little collection... it's in my nature.
