I like this place...
« on: Thu, 20 June 2013, 22:06:22 »
...but its really gonna be bad for my credit card, I can already tell. :'(  Well, thanks a lot for that.  Not to mention I've started compulsively searching for mechanical keyboard stuff at work.   :))  Guess its better than being productive.

Anyway, just kidding and I've been lurking here a good bit for the last few weeks.  I've already made the jump and bought the Coolermaster Quickfire Rapid with MX blues.  I added to the 50-A o-rings and I'm really liking it so far!  As you can see, I bought a couple custom keycaps too, from a seller called Key-Pop on ebay (I'm assuming they're from Signature Plastics though).  And since all that wasn't spendy enough, I've went ahead and ordered a set of Ducky black engraved keys to replace the ones that came on the QFR. Oh, and since carrying a keyboard back and forth to work and hooking it up every morning was getting old (and confirming my insanity for some of my coworkers) I also ordered a Unicomp 101 with blank black keys, which shipped today (same day as I ordered).  I'm pretty excited for that...

Anyway, I'm glad to have found this place.  Everyone here seems pretty cool, and I'll try to chime in when I have something to contribute instead of just being a lurker.
