Hello keyboard enthusiasts,
After buying my second mechanical keyboard I felt it was time to register. About 2 months ago I finally got fed up with typing on a series of remarkably terrible handed-down boards and decided it was time to buy something actually good. For me, this meant about two weeks of research, during which Geekhack was a valuable source of information, and then another week of flailing indecision. I ended up buying a Monoprice board with MX Blues because it was cheap, I wasn't sure if I would like Blues or Browns better, and nobody had really done a real review of it. I figured even if didn't like it at least I could get some good out of it by reviewing it. Mini-review: meh.
After deciding Blues are not for me I bought a semi-custom WASD with Browns, which I'm typing on right now. It is the best keyboard I have ever typed on, though with my history with keyboards that's not really saying much. Either way it's a great board and WASD is a great company to deal with, and I might be buying a fully-custom WASD board for work in the near future to replace that Monoprice POS.
At this point I feel like I need a board with Blacks and another with Reds just to round out the collection a little bit. That way I'll at least know which of the most readily-available Cherry switches I prefer and be able to help others find their switch. After that I will be irredeemably a keyboard nerd.
Which means, of course, that I belong here.
