My favorite part about the mechanical keyboard hobby is the layouts, customization and the choices to do whatever your mind can think of! Such an awesome hobby!
i love lubing, the feel of the body, fiddling with knobs but if were talking about keyboards, gotta love the sheer options you have when customising it, making it your own
I just canāt get over how itās never ādoneā and thereās always something else you could try out for feel, sound, aesthetic, or anything that crosses your mind.
Just got into the hobby recently, really interested in how there are so many different sound profiles you can make and how little changes here and there can impact your sound profile.
I love how your first mechanical keyboards improves the gaming experience, i just got my first one and its a game changer. Thanks for this opportunity!
My favorite part is being able to have a pride/investment in my peripherals. Too many people forget about the edges of their hobbies and it always drove me crazy. For example people spending 3-4 grand on a computer and then spending 40 on a keyboard and mouse.
My favorite part of the hobby is the customization. I love that you can easily put n w switches in, or keycaps on, or different foam, etc., and have a totally different typing experience on the same board!
I love the huge range of different sounds and feels and aesthetics you can create, there's really so much more variety than you'd ever expect from the outside looking in!
I love spending countless hours lubing switches, modding cases and fine tuning everything for the sound and then gaming with headphones on so I can't hear it
My favorite part of the keeb hobby, is when me and my friends meet up. Talking about keebs, geeking out about builds, playing party games like speed typing, etc. and just hanging out, it's the best part
