Hello from Indiana!
« on: Tue, 18 March 2014, 13:45:03 »
Thought I would drop by and say hi! I've been lurking for a while, as I've been following /r/MechanicalKeyboards for a couple of months and there's a lot of linking here. I figured it was time I joined up here! I've had the pleasure of owning a Das Keyboard Professional (browns) as well as getting my hands on a Filco Majestouch 2 Yellow (browns). Sold the Das (poor grad student) and kept my Filco.

I truly discovered mechanical keyboards last fall. I've always known about them but I never really knew, y'know? Got roped into a Das by an alluring deal and loved it. However, the Filco limited edition with Yellows truly caught my eye and I had to have it. I ended up contacting Diatec and they had one sitting around with browns (I really like browns lol) so I bought it! Relevant: http://imgur.com/a/mVeiC#0

And now I am officially hooked!

Now a little about myself... I am currently a first year Master's student studying Consumer Behavior. I'll probably stop at my Master's and go into industry because being poor sucks. I love computers and I would say they are my hobby. I enjoy everything about them, from the innards (building my own systems) to the peripherals. I am really looking forward to having a job so I can spend as much as I would really like to...

Anyway, nice to meet you all!

Welcome to GeekHack! If you're not too shy, maybe you can drop by the Indy meetup. Always fun to meet keyboard enthusiasts. And I also really like Filcos :D.

Welcome to GH. Be prepared to face hard to make purchasing descisions.  ;)

Haha yes, as if my hobbies needed to become any more expensive, right?

I might be able to make it, but I doubt it. I've got so many presentations to prepare for/papers due/books to read at the end of March/beginning of April it's rather sad.

You said hobbies? Be prepared to put any other aside, as this one will be the only reamining.
