I just got my first mechanical today. A Black Widow Ultimate. I know it's not considered as good as many others but the price was right (120cad after tax and shipping). This thing is even better than I expected. I don't want to stop typing and I'm dreading going back to my rubber dome at work tomorrow.

Welcome to Geekhack!
Take your keyboard with you.
Better yet, buy another mechanical keyboard for work.

I actually just might buy another. Is there any keyboards with browns that I can buy in canada other than the Das silent? I think I might annoy my coworkers with the blues

Off the top of my head I don't know which sellers ship to Canada, but this might be able to help you.

Looks like elite keyboards might be the way to go. Guess I'll have to get a tenkeyless soon.

Orphagn · « **Reply #5 on:** Tue, 22 March 2011, 22:58:22 »

I'd suggest getting a Leopold with Browns for a tenkeyless.

Noregrebt · « **Reply #6 on:** Tue, 22 March 2011, 23:05:03 »

Yeah. They look nice. Will probably go with the Otaku version. I like the price too!

Otaku looks cool, but it can be difficult getting used to if you're not used to knowing where all the special characters are.
Best to pre-order one now, price might go up later.

Noregrebt · « **Reply #8 on:** Tue, 22 March 2011, 23:22:32 »

Well, I probably shouldn't have but I just ordered one. lol. I hope I like it as much as the blues!

Browns are a bit lighter than Blues and with a more subtle "bump", also they're quieter.

Initially you'll like the blues more, after you use them for a while, you'll probably keep the browns.

If you want a real clicky keyboard for home, buy a model M mini.

Congratulations! I've been brining my keyboard back and forth with me to and from work, and I'm loving every minute of it.

Slightly off topic: where CAN you buy a model m space saver?

Noregrebt · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 24 March 2011, 10:44:22 »

Thanks everyone! I'm loving this thing more all the time! Really excited for the Leo. I got the Otaku and I'm a colemak guy so as someone said in th leo thread, I can't wait for someone to try and use my computer.

Be prepared to spend $200-300 on ebay for a Model M spacesaver.
