I've been lurking on here a long time and finally joined about a month ago and this is my first post (hard to break the lurking habit). I used this site to research for months before buying my first mech and now I can't stop coming here to read and ogle all of your fantastic setups.
I purchased a Ducky Shine 3 with Blue MXs and red LEDs from a Microcenter clearance bin for $100 and I love it! I've since added .4mm rings under the alphabet and .2mm rings under the space, enter and arrow keys. I just received my first "artisan" keycap this past weekend, a pumpkin from Massdrop and I picked up the numpad set from the Danger Zone set so I'm excited to see that next year.
I look forward to being a part of this community!
Cheers
