Just ordered my first mechanical keyboard. I look forward to explaining to people that it's "so much better!" while they look at me like I'm crazy
@selfnoise oooooh nice! What did you go with?
@Neff I got this Zalman for the one and only reason that it was on sale for the $40. I'm not sure I had seen a cherry-switched keyboard for lower.
That said, I like the fact that it looks subdued and just has basic white illumination. And I think the Reds are best for me since I like low-resistance keys.
Unfortunately part of the deal was slow-boat shipping, so I'll have to wait until next week.

@selfnoise
Nice! I'd love to hear what you think about the cherry reds once you get it. I've got blues at home and the magnetic hall effect switches at work.
@selfnoise
Yeah, I had to pre-applogize to the people around me when I brought my work board in. I told them if it ever felt like it was too loud to let me know.
@Neff Yeah I can't have really loud clicks... people already complain that I type too hard.
