A brief reflection and look at how far our community has come since joining. I’ve been in the mechanical keyboard hobby for a very long time. It started as a high school student’s search for a keyboard for writing novels back in the 2008-2009 school year. I thought I wanted to be an author and I felt I needed a keyboard that I could sit down to at my desk and just write. After researching, joining forums, and saving money, I made my first purchase in the hobby, a blank black Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2.

EDIT: Who wants to place bets on whether https://www.massdrop.com/buy/v80-tkl-mechanical-keyboard ships first? It's slated for shipping on 4/2/2015.
Unfortunately, the port problem definitely has affected many drops across the board.
3/15 is the date we were told to expect the shipment ready to be redistribute to us from Cooler Master's warehouse. :(
