After only a week of browsing this site, deskthority, and r/mechanical keyboards I've become completely hooked on the hobby. I've decided it's probably about time to immerse myself in the community since it seems so damn knowledgeable and tight-knit. I'm really looking forward to learning more about MKBs and building up my collection.
This is what I've just ordered in the past week to get me started:
- Filco Majestouch 2 TKL with MX Browns (this is actually my current keyboard)
- Pok3r with MX Blues
- Blue/Green Backlit KB Paradise v60 Mini with MX Clears
- x2 60% Tex Aluminium Cases (silver and blue)
- Danger Zone SA Keycap Set
- Yellow/Blue/Grey Paracord USB from /u/90N1NE
- Vortex Doubleshop PBT Keycaps (white and blue)
- x2 NPKC Blank PBT Keycaps (light blue and mango)
- x3 Hot Keys Project Artisan Keycaps (Black/Purple Trooper & Raven, Steel Blue Armor Cap v2 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61096.0)
I know I may have gone off the deep end with these initial purchases but I wanted some base materials to mix-and-match until one of my ideal keycap sets comes out again (Calm Depths & Penumbra) or I get myself on an endgame keyboard (I'm aspiring for the long term goal of an IBM SSK or Kishsaver -although I'd be more than happy with a Model M).
A long winded introduction I know, but I'm really excited (dare I say passionate?!) about this random ass hobby I found out about last week. None of my friends understand. They think I've gone crazy
) Looking forward to meeting you all.
