New to Mechs, already broke... from GA
« on: Fri, 20 May 2016, 00:58:36 »
Hi everyone,

I just purchased my first mech KB last week and already I'm spending long hours browsing GH in search of ideas/keycaps/where to go next.
Might have a slight spending problem...

I love watching (occasionally playing) football/soccer (no league is off-limits), driving/riding cars & motorcycles and playing most video games. 

Anyhow, I'm excited to be learning about KBs and the community. Look forward to interacting with many of you!

I figured you could just use your imagination!
It's a Filco Majestouch Ninja TKL. I've ordered the Vortex RGBY Modifier set (PBT) and will most likely pick up a PBT keyset from Geekkeys (Feng?) or classifieds here.

Once everything is assembled, I'll post a pic or two.

Welcome to Geekhack!

What switches have you got in the Filco?

If you're worried about spending too much, take a few minutes and read this thread.

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.

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

Browns are a good median switch to start with, but you'll probably find yourself wanting to try some other switches eventually ;)
