New guy waiting for first boards.
« on: Thu, 20 August 2015, 09:15:44 »
Hey all,
Been browsing /r/MK and lurking GH since the beginning of the year. Currently waiting on my first 2 boards I ordered through Massdrop. A black on black KC60 with MX Greens, and the current Planck drop with clears and a Deep Space set from the group buy left overs at PMK.

Looking forward to an empty wallet and lots of clacking.

Here's a pic of my current keyboard (cringeworthy) with my green WASD caps waiting for the KC60. That's also a custom made Star Wars sleeve in the back.


Seriously, can't wait.

Welcome to wallethack!

Nice choice on the 2 boards, and if you love Greens we're halfway to becoming a best friend already :D

Had my significant other make me one in anticipation for the KC60. The dimensions aren't quite right (too long) but it has everything I wanted.


Velcro front pocket. (Cable is sticking out so you can see opening)


Velcro top.


Star Wars fleece lining.

I'm all about the Greens even though I haven't tried them. I did try Blues and really liked them but felt too light, so I think I made the right choice.

You would love greens, I find stock blues are too light too except if I swap the springs to 68g which is the perfect weight

so jelly with the sleeve :) you're lucky

Welcome to Geekhack!

That's a fantastic keyboard bag!

MX greens are one of my favourite switches, and my first board with MX clears is on it's way right now.  I prefer stiffer switches, including greens, blacks and buckling spring.

BTW don't let people tell you there's anything wrong with bottoming out on these switches - feels great :D

"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
