Howdy!

Hello!

I've been more active in discord and reddit keyboard communities, but I also wanted to go back to one of the first communities for the hobby and say hi.

Pharmacist by trade, enthusiast by choice (somewhat) - mechanical keyboards are more ergonomic than the mushy membrane keyboards (easier to clean pill/tablet dust from too!)

My first mechanical keeb was a Razer Chroma Blackwidow TE V2...since then I have expanded my collection up to 7! I try to give all my personal builds a theme and a name (usually from AL, but also medication-related sometimes too).
I am particularly interested in budget (< $200) keyboards, keyboard repair, and frankenswitches.

Welcome to geekhack

ehh I'm not really the type of person to make my boards around themes and the like, I just buy the stuff I like. I do still try to like match up my boards, keycaps and resin to match as closely as possible.

What other boards do you have too?
