Haha you sound like me. Especially your taste in SA keycaps. Don't be afraid to participate in discussions! As long as you're respectful and enthusiastic this community is very well receiving (at least that has been my experience so far after three weeks). You'd be surprised too! I thought It'd take me months to get a Bro but with some attention and a little luck I managed to win a Rustler on my first raffle! Once you start building your collection there's tons of people here that trade caps so don't worry, the opportunity will come.
I'd be really interested to see some content if you ever decide to make your own! A new artisan for me to spend my money on )
Oh and welcome to geekhack!
Nice, congrats on that Rustler! I think I'm 0/4 for Bros raffles (but yes, I've seen people with worse numbers) but hoping to get in on some raffle in the future!
I've made some ... prototypes (not resin casted but just using clay on keycaps), to say, that I might be posting soon. They are not very polished at all but I'm going to try and get feedback from the community because there are a lot of great artisan keycap makers around here that I could learn a lot from!
Welcome! I've always wanted to try blues but they would get limited use so loud but oh so satisfying haha. My dream set is Penumbra but too much monies to buy second hand, that SA profile is very appealing. Welcome to GH!
You should definitely try out Blues! They are very fun and feels great to type on. Would not suggest for work environment unless you want to be hated by all your coworkers though, haha.
I'm still waiting on Penumbra Round 2 but I'm not sure when or if that will ever happen...
Welcome to Geekhack!
You'll need a few more posts, just a few, to participate in Bro Cap sales, but many other sales are open to all.
Five keyboards is not crazy, by the way. Five keyboard is merely a good start. 50 keyboards is probably crazy. I don't have 50 yet, only about 16. Mechanical keyboards. Plus a bunch of various rubber dome keyboards. Plus some Apple scissor switch keyboards. I'm not crazy
The trick with artisans is to be patient, and enter sales when you can. Some people try one or two sales and too easily become discouraged.
Thanks!
Haha, 5 keyboards is indeed not that much compared to some people, but going from 0 to 5 in like a month is a hefty jump for me! Especially since I had once thought that I would never be one to spend anywhere close to $100 for a keyboard. My wallet was like, wtf. 16 though, that's impressive, haha!
