Hello guys! This is my first post here! Came here from reddit to participate in more keyboard discussion.
So, here is my main keyboard. It cost $25 (8000 HUF) and has Cherry MX Black switches. The white keycaps and the cable are from a G81 3000 (it was a flea market find for a dollar, but I spilled water on it)

(I don't know how to make those fancy image posts so I'll submit it like this. It's much easier to do on reddit)

Nice find.

Thank you bro! I really like it. Typing on it right now.

Also, you are the first person to reply to me on DT!

No worries. I started with MX Browns, I still have that board, then went to Blues, then got into IBM BS, then Topre and now I have a few boards I use in different locations. Welcome to DT, its a friendly place.

I am currently typing on my HHKBPro2BT.

Good to hear this is a friendly place!! Reddit will still remain my primary source for keboard (and other retro stuff), but I hope to be on this forum a fair bit.

DT is a nice and frendly place for mostly vintage keyboards, I learned great things around here and I prefer it much more than reddit. This is quite calm and charming, reddit is just a big circlejerk ... It still remains a good place to learn about keyboards and all !

I still like reddit. Sometimes I see Circlejerks but I don't get myself into that.

I would accept Reddit if it were possible to necropost, but if you necropost there you're totally ignored, and if you contact the person whose topic you found … you get ignored. Sometimes I find things a while after they get posted, but there's no way to discuss them any more. Stupid place.

That sucks, though I never had that problem.

We all have our own opinions.

Hi, and welcome!
I started my mechanical journey on the same exact keyboard about six years ago, so I think you're off to a good start!

After trying tons of switches I have come full circle, and have been enjoying linear switches again recently.

So, I ended up almost with the same switch that I started with (but with a lighter spring weight).

Thanks bro! I'm actually not that new to this, though this is my first truly mechanical kb. My first one was a cherry G81 3000 but I spilled water in that so I was mechless for an entire summer. Then I got this G80 in september and now I love it.

And today I found another cherry g81 but with doubleshot keycaps. I will submit it here later.
