An Addiction Begins...
« on: Mon, 26 March 2012, 06:51:36 »
As a touch typist and a gamer, I was always intrigued with the benefits of what mechanical keyboards offered over rubber dome and scissor-switch-based keyboards.  After spending the last few weeks researching and figuring out what I really wanted, I purchased my first mechanical keyboard, an IDFactory M.stone Groove87 with Cherry MX Brown Switches, exactly six days ago.

Today, I found myself walking out of the Yongsan Electronics Market with a Filco MJ2 Ninja with Cherry MX Black switches, two IDFactory M.stone TKL wrist rests, and an itch to buy the Poker X with engraved PBT Caps on Blues...

Is this normal?

BTW... hi all, I'm new...

As above, the symptoms above are especially normal, and it get worsen perpendicularly to the time you spent on GeekHack.

BTW, how do you manage to get a KOREA only board? You from Korea? Also, do update with us with a review on the board if possible. Especially if there is rubber coating on the keyboard case.

@Stingrae
Both the boards on your sig are actually in my sights...

@Human
Since, I'm pretty much in heaven with both boards, I'd love to type up a review of the Groove87 board for the forum.  I got most of the information during my research from here, so I've already spend a chunk of my time looking at some amazing write-ups and photos in GH.  It probably explains why I ended up with two TKL boards in less than one week.
As for the "Korea question", I'm nothing more than just an American expat working here.

LOL.  It's something to consider since I seem to recall seeing a post about the m.stone wrist rests... I'm not so sure there would be a market for the boards since there seems to be almost always a 'local' equivalent.

Unfortunately, there really is no treatment for this particular addiction.

Groove87 seems to be just a logo free CMStorm? Plenty of market for that.

perfectly normal, today my offer was accepted for this keyboard thats new http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/showimage.aspx?gid=1451767&ppid=1122&image=438494988&images=438494988,438495004&formats=0,0&format=0

Hoping to win an auction on either new or barelly used White logo Model M and have the retro style keycaps replaced with black blank keycaps from Unicomp + Detachable black USB cable which should match the black keycaps

But if I dont win the White logo I'm anyways buying this baby http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?27330-Unicomp-Wildcat-Keyboard-Unboxing&highlight=Kentucky+Wildcats
