Greetings GeekHack!
« on: Thu, 07 April 2016, 14:52:14 »
Greeting everyone. I am new here at Geekhack. Last year I tried a mechanical keyboard for the first time, and I completely fell in love with the satisfying feel of mechanical switches.
Since then, I proceeded to have a collection of mech keyboards (total of 8 right now!), and I really enjoy Cherry MX Reds and Browns.

Honored to be here with fellow keyboard enthusiasts! :D

My three main mechanical keyboard are: CM Storm Quickfire Rapid Cherry MX Red, Corsair Vengeance K65 Cherry MX Red, and Vortex Pok3r with Cherry MX Brown.

Welcome :)

How did you like the switch from Cherry MX Red to brown? I bet you're already research the next keyboard huh?

Thank you. :)

Actually, I transitioned from Blues, to Browns and finally to Reds. Yep, research already made buddy. :D

The thing is, my preference for keyboards are mainly those with Costar Stabilizers. Originally I was considering the KUL ES-87, but found crazy feedback on the
Cherry stabilizers' mushiness. Between the KUL and the WASD V2, in your opinion which one is better?

No opinion here bud. I know people say that KUL is good. WASD's CODE has a huge following but if you like Costar I believe you might enjoy WASD's products a bit more.

Hmm, I thought so. Might pick up the WASD V2 TKL with MX Reds soon.

Welcome to Geekhack!

A nice collection of keyboards - I have a QFR that ha been going strong for a few years.

Have you tried many other switches?  Like blacks, greens or clears?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. 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
