I can't be the only one on BZP who loves mechanical keyboards! I personally type on buckling spring IBM Model M's most of the time, with my daily driver keyboard alternating between a 1988 1391401 Gray Label IBM Model M and a 2011 Unicomp 122 Key Terminal Model M. I have two more Model M's, but one is a brand new 1992 that I'll be keeping in the box, and the other is a 1995 rubber dome 7A4G644 that I don't use much. I'm hoping to expand my collection and get some Cherry MX, ALPS, and Topre keyboards, but it's a very expensive hobby. So fellow mechanical keyboard nerds, if there are any of you out there on BZP (I sure hope I didn't make this topic for nothing ), unite and discuss anything and everything about mechanical keyboards below. What keyboard(s) do you use? Which ones do you want?

Over the summer I decided to learn how to solve a Rubik's Cube before my sister did. It took me about 40 minutes of looking at the solution on their official web site to memorize and perfect the solution. As it turns out, my sister wasn't actually taking her ambitions to solve it seriously. After a few days of practice, I got to solve it at an average time of 1:15. My best time is somewhere around 45 seconds. My next ambition is to learn the Jessica Fridrich method of solving the cube, which is far better. My original cube was stolen, but that was okay since my mind was set on getting a Rubik's Icon anyway. An Icon is a cube set on the gray scale. The reactions I get from messing with it are often priceless. It is far cooler than my old cube and I find it aesthetically pleasing. Instantly upon getting it I was fairly used to the colors, or should I say, the lack thereof. My experiences in art have made me very adept at differentiating between subtle shades of gray. It's still a little stiff, being only a week old, but I've been working on it hard enough that soon it should be as smooth and corner-cutting as my old cube, and then I'll be able to solve as super-speeds again. Once I perfect the Fridrich method, my goal would be to average 30 seconds. I also have a Lanlan 2x2 speedcube. It's obviously nowhere near as hard, but since it moves so fast I still have a lot of fun with it nevertheless. I'm currently practicing solving it with my eyes closed., though I've only practices at it once. Still, I figure that the more I use that area of my brain the better I'll get at it. I have quite a few stories to tell, but I'll let them come out over the course of the topic. Your Honor,Emperor Kraggh
