First off, welcome to the world of keyboards. There are two things you will discover quite shortly about keyboards and keyboarding related accessories: first, they are a moneypit. Your money? all gone. Second, they are awesome; you will be poor but happy.

OK, LOGISTICS: you are currently a New Member. That means you can view nearly all of the forums, and post replies, including attachments and videos, in every forum. There are a couple forums you can't see, but no worries, they're a bit like spamalot; they are silly places where only silly things are done. At some point (currently ~~50 100~~ 60 posts, but subject to change without notice), you will join the ranks of the Full Members, soldiers of fortune who are allowed to submit NEW topics to the classifieds and group buy forums.

TL;DR YOU NEED AT LEAST 25 POSTS AND 60 DAYS OF MEMBERSHIP TO POST NEW TOPICS IN CLASSIFIEDS & GROUP BUYS

HOWEVER: do not think that you should simply spam your way up the clacker ladder. Your keyboard, as you will soon learn, is a refined tool only meant for the purest of thoughts. If ye spam, we will delete. Instead, have fun, ask questions, comment on demik's flatulence, etc. in short, LURK LESS! we welcome your input.

SO THEN: Welcome to geekhack! Have fun clacking! (and sorry about your wallet )

P.S. WalletHack is REAL, read more about it here: Unhacking the wallet in 2015 - confessions of an addict (warning: long)

How did you know I was spending a lot on keyboards?! It is nice to know that I am not the only one spending too much money on keyboards. I got obsessed with the model M very quickly. It started when I ran a google search for linux keyboard. Unicomp was basically all I came up with. I got the classic 101, no Windows keys thank you, linux version with Caps Lock, Ctrl and Esc, ~ keys switched. I now own several from Unicomp, and the original from clickykeyboards.

Hi guys I am new to Geek Hack. I had an account before but i had trouble navigating it...I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. Some of you have bought keyboards from me thru EBay. Valerie8547 if that helps. Any advice you can give me on how to use the site better would be appreciated. I thought i was alone in my love for keyboards until i found this site. Keep up the great work. Thanks!

Alessandro · « **Reply #18 on:** Tue, 28 August 2012, 06:02:04 »

Awesome! I've been lurking here a while, and now need to expand my horizons in terms of getting a second board and a better keycap collection. I can't wait to see what's to offer here!

*Don't worry, I've been saving up my money for this place.

New to the world of keyboards and I gotta say I'm excited. Bought a Race with black switches and white LEDS so I figured I may as well get myself on these forums. In the words of agent Smith, "It is inevitable". I choose the Red pill.

There are not that many places selling mechanical keyboards in Australia, at least not a reasonable range of them. Lucky we have PCCG here in Melbourne
