Very nice thread. <3
I am a G80-1800 fan myself. To be more accurate I am a Raptor Gaming K1 fan.
I bought my first K1 more than 10 years ago:
It has Cherry MX-Blacks, GER ISO layout, laser-etched keycaps.
You may notice that the keycaps have the typical ABS shine to them. I don't mind. This baby has been my main keyboard for the whole time. Back when I bought it there was no real mecha-community. In fact I had to defend it more than once on a LAN party ("OMG? Why didn't you get a G15 with display and backlight?"). I wrote papers on it (from the first day of university until I graduated!), played probably more than 10k hours with it. You are still able to read every key's printing (makes you wonder: WHO NEEDS DOUBLESHOTS ANYWAY?
). So what's the problem?! I still dig the layout and it works flawlessly. Hopefully always will.
I hesitated some time to post this because image quality isn't great and the keyboard isn't anything special when you take away the 10+ years of usage it lived through. Hope (some of) you like it!
Well and that's pretty much all I can post. I have some more K1s but they are all factory new (back when Raptor was bought by Corsair you could get them for down to 15€ on ebay and I once bought a whole stash of OEM-packaged ones) so I guess posting them would be kinda super boring, because I only got ISO-GERs (laser etched, not a single DS!
) and AZERTYs (all DS AFAIR).
I probably should aim for a little bit more variety in my "collection" before coming back.
