Folks,
I'm an old timey wimey poster here at neogaf, reformed and back after an extended absence.
In my time away, I've become a bit of a booster for mechanical keyboards. I know a lot of gaffers are getting back into PC gaming (thank you Valve/Steam! i apologize profusely for all the nasty comments i made about gabe's weight back in the 00s!), and I thought it might be a good time to start an information resource on gaf for THE GREATEST KEYBOARDS EVER MADE (protip: mechanicals).
OK, now for static resources, the best at the moment is probably the OCN mechanical keyboard wiki:
http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mechanical-keyboard-guide
GEEKHACK: http://www.geekhack.org/ is THE english-language resource for mechanical keyboards (we also have some excellent wikis, but we're having technical difficulties with them at the moment). You are strongly invited to come join us and geek out about keyboards, gaming, and other geeky stuff. We also have many active design and small-scale manufacturing efforts, as well as an excellent and very active classifieds board (COI note: I moderate this board).
DESKTHORITY: http://www.deskthority.com/ is excellent for local commerce and european language conversation if you're across the pond to the east.
OTD.kr, KBDMANIA.com: Korean-only; the world's foremost keyboard experts.
KBTALKING.cn, others: Chinese-only; the world's other foremost keyboard experts.
In the meantime, you can also feel free to ask questions about keyboards, recommendations, etc. in this thread. I will answer as time allows, and if there are other gh'ers or deskos around, please chime in!
Thanks everyone! Happy clacking!
