Congrats and welcome to Geekhack!  Good choice on your first mech keyboard there.  I'm using the same one right now except it's not an "Otaku" version.

So excited to get it in a few weeks! Looking at them made me realize how little worth tenkey is especially when I want my keyboard dead center on middle screen at work while having mouse in a good position relative to keyboard.

Read the wiki mate:

He must have bought himself a Blu-Ray player.

I used mkb for mechanical keyboard because I'm on my phone. Is there a community standard I should know about? @(*-*)@

I think the generally accepted terminology on this board is "I just bought my first mechanical keyboard; what should the second one be?"

Community standard is that outside wikis and his subforum, Ripster is probably trolling.

But I agree, atleast the DotAfegs are revealing themselves.

It arrived today after being delayed due to Seattle snow. Wow this thing is awesome.  Feels great and looks awesome with red esc key. Fits into my laptop bag with clear cover too so I can haul it to work everyday.

The action of the the browns feels fantastic compared to the rubber domes on my Microsoft resclusa and better than laptop keys (Lenovo t420).

Excited to type up a storm at work tonight!
