Hello Everyone!

Hello Geekhack!

We are Mechboards, a UK website for Mechanical Keyboard news, reviews, and giveaways. We'll be ramping up content soon so we thought we'd make an account here and say hello!

Right now we're rocking a Filco Majestouch Ninja 2 while reviewing the new MX Board 6.0!

Cheers!

Welcome to Geekhack!

One of the few users I don't have to ask which keyboard you've tried :))

I don't check UK keyboard sites often, but if you include "where to buy" links in your reviews it could be an invaluable guide for those in the UK who are looking for a particular keyboard, which is a question that does come up fairly often.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Thanks for the Welcome rowdy!

On most of our reviews we have a "Purchase Now" button which leads to Amazon UK. A lot of keyboards aren't listed on Amazon though, so they haven't got a purchase button. But we'll be sure to follow up on it a bit more, thanks :)

Welcome to GH.

Thanks for the welcome! We like to think we've got a good selection, and that picture was 6 months ago! ;)
