Mechanical keyboards

[kitewithfish]

I'm going down a mechanical keyboard rabbithole....

I really, really do not need to spend $250 human dollars on an ortholinear keyboard to play with. It's not a good idea. I don't need to do that. 

BUT I WANT TO

Every now and then I Google mechanical keyboards, "ooh" and "aah" over some customized designs I like, and then cry a little at the price without ordering anything. They're one of those, "I don't need you but I want you," things ;_;

And the thing is, I have a mechanical keyboard! I was having shoulder troubles and I got a 60% keyboard to gain some space back on my desk so I wasn't always making lunging reaches to access my mouse past the numberpad on the side. (Which - HIGHLY RECOMMEND - The numberpad on a keyboard was just unnecessary to my life and I have so much more desk space without it.)

It's a Qisan Magicforce, so it's """entry level""" but it's hard to call something entry level when it cost $60 and is constructed to last 10+ years. So.

This all started with the damn Keyboardio crowdfunding video. Once I knew there were options....
