Long time reader, first time poster
« on: Sun, 26 January 2014, 09:45:29 »
Just saying hello to the community. I've been a mechanical keyboard enthusiast since 2007. I started on the original Das Keyboard MX 3000 (DASK2). It just recently fell out of commission. So I replaced it with a WASD 104-key, with the Dvorak layout, a red running man for the ESC key, a Tux penguin for the "OS key", and a custom black/red shielded and braided USB cable. I also have a Das Keyboard DASK3 with blank keycaps. All Cherry MX Blue.

Since getting into mechanical keyboards, more have followed suit at my place of employment. Where there used to be only three mechanical keyboard typists, now there are ten (about 1/2 MX blue and 1/2 MX brown). The sound in the office when everyone is typing is awesome.
