Back on Hobbit Day (September 22), I came across a post from u/drop_official with a curious geocache challenge to find a LoTR-themed Elvish keyboard. It had already been over an hour since the post came up but I figured, "Why not, let's hop on the bike and try to find one!" After trudging up a massive hill in a forested park, I came across a burlap sack under some bushes, and, lo and behold, I found it!

I'm not the best at keeb pictures (as you can tell), but I wanted to thank u/drop_official for giving away this very nice board and helping me to learn a bit of Elvish along the way. I'd never done a geocache challenge before and this was a great way to start!

As for the board itself, I would love to put a bit of sound dampening in it, but I love the feel of the Elvish MT3 keycaps, the tactile Holy Panda X switches, and the overall green color and design of the board (my fave color!). Now if I could just find a nice green cable to match, I'd be set.

No, it was one of the SF ones

I was just curious because I didn't try for the Portland one.
It was all the way across town from me, at the time, so I didn't think I had any hope of making it in time.

Congrats to you though.

Fortunately one of the SF ones was like a 20 minute bike/hike from me so I gave it a shot and no one had found it ahead of me!
