Hi GH
« on: Mon, 01 February 2016, 14:29:02 »
Finally got on the mechanical keyboard bandwagon late last year and joined r/mechanicalkeyboard and r/mechmarket. In that time I now have two TKL (browns and clears) bought 4 different keycap sets (ended up selling 2 of them) and recently joined a few more group buys, not sure how much more my poor wallet can take.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Which keyboards did you get?

And which switches do you like?  Browns and clears are both tactile, but the clears are so much more tactile, albeit with much heavier springs.

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

My two current keyboards: http://imgur.com/JEw96nJ

The first is a Filco MJ2 with browns sporting some stock DSA keys from pimpmykeyboard, the other is a Code with clears and the keycaps are some doubleshot PBT vortex caps I got in r/mechmarket. I find that with the heavy actuation force of the clears its nicer to have some thicker/heavier caps. Considering putting the an SA set on it instead.

I used to have the Modern Selectric set but couldn't stand the nubs on the F and J, would much rather have a scoop. I also had The DSA Deep Space set but realized that I really dislike a dark legend on a dark key color so I ended up selling both. Just joined the nantucket GB and have a white fox with blues on the way. Very excited for those.

Very nice couple of boards!

I also have a CODE with clears, using it at work now :)

So you prefer tactile non-clicky switches ...
