Astonishing title I have there, isn't it? Anyways, I've really enjoyed computer hardware for all 20 years that I've been alive, but not until recently did I finally take the plunge into mechanical keyboards. I first bought a Thermaltake Poseidon Z with brown switches which I liked, but was not really my cup of tea. I ended up selling it on ebay for a $10 loss and then bought a Poseidon Z with blue switches from Amazon which I also did not like. The switches felt mushy to me, which may have been due to the really cheap keycaps and Kailh switches.
I then decided it would be worth it to just spend the money on a quality keyboard and took the plunge on a Ducky DK9008 Shine III MX Blue with White LEDs. I fell in love with it immediately. It has become the only keyboard I can type on now, as I have ruined any chance of ever using membrane again. I just received a Unicomp USB 122 Key Model M a few days ago and although I like the feel, it arrived DOA with only about half of the keys working. I'm trying to decide if I just eat the cost and keep the keyboard as a project or return it and lose $16-18 on shipping.
