Computer keyboards aren't really something that often comes up in public. I'm sure they do exist, but it's not exactly every day you're going to find a group of keyboard enthusiasts just getting together in typing groups.

Not like photographers will hang out and take pictures together, or musicians will hang out to jam.

Good to know Hainbach is into these kind of keyboards, also.

You can tell this guy is white, when it didn't end in the plane being landed prematurely.

The use of your parents and not yourself makes me feel old. I'm not even middle aged.

I don't hear a whole lot of echo. But don't have much to compare to, either. Just the occasional spring pinging away when I hit a key in a certain way. and even then, the click far overpowers it. Might be one of those things I'd notice more when the sound gets taken away. =D

Linear has never interested me. I grew up on the ones with the buckling springs, and really wanted some real tactile feedback again, after so long with mushy rubber nonsense. I think the Clears were always on my mind as a maybe one day kind of thing. Especially with how noisy I've heard blues can be, and now get to experience. But the noise is worth the feel, so far.

What's the foam and tape mod? Not something I've come across. But I've also not followed a lot of the mech lore for a few years.

Thank you kindly, and good to hear you came in on a similar board. Yeah, thin and light. Also the legends on them are odd, with their huge gaps made for the double shot process, I assume. But I've definitely seen it done better. I'd also not say no to a darker set. Got it in the white, as that's what was best price. But one of the great things about all this is just being able to swap out to taste and mood. Looking forwards to losing all my money to this in time. =D As if my photography and music don't already drain my bank account.

Got a great deal on an already low cost board, and couldn't say no to it. I've been wanting a mech for a while, but could never convince myself to part with much money for one. So when I saw this for some pocket fluff and a loose button, I picked it up without second thought.

I went for the blue clicky switches, despite really liking the idea of tactiles. But I thought, why not go all in on the experience. Surprised at the heft of this thing. Feels even better than I was expecting, for the cost. Weighty, barely any flex, fairly light keys, but satisfying. and though I have no real use for lights, never mind RGB, I really appreciate that it includes all that, and the various modes for it. Currently have it in a touch feedback mode, with the keys lighting up under my fingers, and fading away, in a warm orange glow. Cosy.

Hopefully a keeper for a few years to come, and such a positive experience for a first timer into the mech world.

Edit: Why the downvotes? Did I break a rule, or just keyboard racists?
