Hello geekhack!
I have been wanting to take the plunge on a mechanical keyboard for about a year now and I finally went ahead and snagged one. Very happy that I did.
Just wanted to thank you all for all the great information floating around these forums. I ended up with a CM storm quickfire rapid with brown switches, it seemed like a good way to enter into the mechanical keyboard world without breaking the bank. (But my word, the font.... it's time for a new set of keycaps!
)
