Hey everybody, I'm
Dr. Nick! Charlie!
Been lurking here for a little while, and frequenting /r/mechanicalkeyboards for longer, figured it was time I made an account, especially since I'm probably going to be posting a few writeups in not too long. Only discovered mkbs a few years ago when I purchased a Blackwidow so I would get the 3p1c 1337 g4m3r skllz as promised by Razer, but despite the relatively lackluster introductory mech, I knew that there was no going back to the old ways, once you go clack you never go back.
The first time around I didn't do much research or really get into keyboards in any depth, but when my ol' spider recently started curling up her legs due to a nasty incident with some coke a year or two back (yeah i know, no drinks near your kb bleh) I decided it was time to find something better, something more aesthetically pleasing, comfortable to type on, and most of all, something perfect for me. Little did i know that would be the beginning of my downwards spiral into poverty and madness. Long nights were spent considering switch choices, layout decisions, cap materials, and before long i was catching myself muttering "maybe I should build a custom from scratch out of laser cut stainless steel, using gold-plated springs to make ergo clears and a custom Workman-matrix layout.
Anyway, so far I'm not in too deep, only have the 'widow and a keycool with blacks in the mail from the recent Banggood sale, but don't worry, this probably won't be the last you're seeing of me
