Long time lurker, first time poster
« on: Tue, 24 July 2012, 15:11:07 »
Hey,

I guess I've been lurking for a little while, and I've finally been able to get off my butt and post.

I'm a mail sorter on graveyard shift here in Canberra, Australia. While I haven't got a mechanical keyboard at the moment (confined to a laptop for now, but will be getting a desktop once I start university (which is in a few weeks).

I'm probably going to start with Cherry switches, then go looking for a BS or ALPS board when I'm a bit more experienced.

Thank you

Any Australian GHer. Great. Welcome. So you are looking into cherrys first?
Funny thing is, I have BS and ALPS boards but no cherrys! apart from a MY.
What particular cherry switch were you looking for?

Thank you guys and girls!

I would probably get some sort of board with MX Browns - I've got flatmates, and I don't wanna wake them up with clicky Blues.

Girls?

Wow, what a concept!

Hey, with that misogynist Ripster out of the way, maybe we can get some estrogen into this man-cave once again.

Women - WE LOVE YOU! - Come on over!

We sincerely want to hear your opinions concerning keyboards and other things!

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
