Hello!
« on: Sun, 08 November 2015, 08:13:31 »
Hello everyone, I've been a keyboard enthusiast for only three or four weeks now. It just came across me to join this site!

As of now, I only have one mechanical keyboard. It's a WASD V2 keyboard (so custom keycaps, it's my profile pic) with Cherry MX Brown switches. I'm pretty happy with my choice of browns, there's a micro center near me and they have a full-out testing keyboard - each key is labeled with the switch type so you really have a good comparison. I did some googling around and I just found an image of it:



The picture isn't of the best quality, but the middle keys are MX red switches, the main function keys are obviously MX black switches, the arrow keys, function, delete, etc. are MX brown switches, and the numpad has MX blue switches. It led me to my decision of brown switches.

I'm not planning on any other keyboards at the moment since my WASD is pretty new, and I love the keycaps. Blank alphanumerical keys with symbols for function keys. The OS key has the Ubuntu symbol even though I'm on Windows 10, I just thought it looked cool. :/

Anyway, I love to look at the keyboards that you guys own, from split to 60% to model Ms! They're all beautiful and amazing.

See you around on the forums!

Artisans are not worth it. 90% of forum drama centers around novelty keys. Save your money and buy more keyboards.

You gotta read between the lines man, this guy is just trying to eliminate new competition for ClickClacks's/BroCap's/Bingecaps  :p

I joke, but in all honesty there is a lot of saltiness that can be involved, you wanna try artisans? Check out Hot Keys Project, they are super accessible for anyone and look dope as

Welcome to Geekhack!

Nice WASD :)  Why the different colour Enter?

If you like the Ubuntu OS keys, you've probably been bitten bu the keyboard bug.  They are different than 99% of other keyboards out there, and soon you will be looking for more things to make your keyboard even more different.

Keyboard customisation is a very slippery slope ;)

In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I made the enter key bright green because I think it goes well with the red Escape, Backspace, and Delete keys.

In terms of keyboard customization, hopefully I can keep my wallet by the end the month  :-X

Fair enough :)

Just wondering why light green there and dark green elsewhere.

I guess I just wanted to make the enter key stand out, and I thought the dark green went well with the grey of the normal keys and the red of the backspace, delete, and escape keys.
