What sort of keyboard stuff (if any) are you (or have you) giving/en to others for the holidays?
« on: Fri, 11 December 2015, 03:06:24 »
So, I'm pretty sure this is an appropriate section to put this thread, if not, please forgive my ignorance and move it :)

Anyway, I'm just curious if/what you all are giving to others for Christmas (or whatever other wintery, or for those of you in the other hemisphere, summery) holiday! Can be to anyone, for instance, I'm currently working on a keypad for my better half, and I have a Das keyboard 4 with cherry Browns (yes, Das uses, or used in the original run, genuine cherry switches) and a Tai Hao Miami keyset. It remains to be seen if I'll be removing the antibacterial coating or not. Hopefully they like them!

(I'll get around to pictures eventually -  maybe.)

I just bought this for my dad on ebay today: 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Razor-Blackwidow-2013-Ultimate-Mechanical-Gaming-Keyboard-/401038533946?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=gqQCOMaLR1JgkNLYrCqQcShOD80%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

I originally wanted to get him a CM Storm QFR but he wanted something that was backlit.  He doesn't know that I was planning to get him a backlit mechanical keyboard lol  The keyboard doesn't look like it was used too much so hopefully there's nothing wrong with it >.>

was thinking about getting my brother an HHKB but he doesn't seem too into it

I've kind of given up trying to force my hobby on those around me

I got my sister a ducky shine 3 with the gold case a year or two ago, and later on a red keycap set from ducky. This christmas I got her the pink set so she can mix and match a bit more. I think it will go well with the gold case, its a pretty strong colour.

I have purchased and gifted several USB Unicomp Model Ms over the past three years or so to friends and co-workers.

I bought my dad a DAS Keyboard.

Nothing fancy and it has browns.

Better then the crappy Dell rubber dome he was using though.

Plus I think he feels like a bad ass at work with the blank caps lol!

I made my dad a Unicomp large print keyboard and got my mom an IBM one that I still have to transplant the large print keycaps onto.

I got myself a logitech g710 when Bestbuy had them for $49.99.

I got a few other odds and ends, but nothing specifically for Christmas, just because I've worked really hard in the last two years and haven't had any toys to play with.

I really wanted to get some of my co workers novelty caps esport or gaming related but it won't make it in time for Christmas so I'll probably just keep an eye out and randomly give em out throughout the year.

Last Christmas I gave my brother WoB doubleshots after some of the caps on his G710 broke. He likes them except for the scoops, so he uses the stock lasered F and J  :-[

Few years ago I gave my aunt and uncle both keyboards for Christmas.  My aunt is a programmer and my uncle manages 8ish web servers out of the house.  She got a Ducky with blue and gray PBT caps with MX reds, and my uncle got a Unicomp. 

My uncle was going through a RD board about every 5 to 6 months.  My aunts keyboard at work only had about half the legends left.  Both keyboards have been running day in and day out or 3 years or so now.

Should be ready for Christmas.
