I figured I should start posting since I've been interested in mechanical keyboards for a while. Mainly due to trying to keep costs low I ended up initially with a Razer Blackwidow a few years ago and it served me well, though I hated the flashiness and shininess of the board. I recently moved to the Vancouver area and just ordered a CM Storm Quickfire Rapid (again, funds were part of the decision, but it seems like a great board if it really is very similar to Filco), again with Cherry MX Blue keys (mainly for writing). I really want to try a Topre but can't commit to that kind of price.. Maybe some day. Even in the past few years while I stopped paying attention to mechanical keyboards I realized mechanical keyboards must have really had an upsurge in popularity--a lot more variety now and also cheaper prices (even for Topres!). So, maybe in a year or two I can try a 55G Topre (most curious about this because I love the tactile feel of the blues and hear the 55G topres are better for that..).
Anyways, now that I've bought a relatively cheap keyboard, I may try to create a unicorn vomit keyboard after the keycaps on the CM start getting shiny.. Or something fun anyways. I feel like this could be a very expensive hobby and I already have a few of those...
