I like the intro, I'll copy you, Alex, if you don't mind.
As a small kid there were all kinds of devices that I loved playing with. As soon as I figured out how to use a screwdriver, I had to open anything that had screws on it. Unfortunately, there wasn't a mechanical keyboard around.
Not until I found Massdrop, some 20 years down the line. After so much typing on a "plain" keyboard, I discovered a group of people interested in mechanical keyboards and I joined one of the drops for a Cooler Master switch tester. That was my first experience with any mechanical keyboard.
My first experience with a functioning mech keyboard was two days ago. After a lot of planning and budgeting (I'm building my first pc as well), I am the proud owner of a Cooler Master Masterkeys Pros S. Brown switches. I'm still getting used to typing on it and trying really, really hard not to bottom out (and not to open it up with a screwdriver, not yet). I'll get there eventually. And I know I'll get a pok3r and a Realforce in the not too distant future. Gotta try them all.
KAPS1M0Should definitely open it. Don't open a Topre though without being prepared. Ugh.
What are you putting in your pc?

AlexPkHaha I will open it in time, after the "new toy" factor fades away and I need to clean the keyboard or change the keycaps. I'll keep that about Topres in mind.
Here's my list of pc parts (and peripherals, including the chair). https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/KAPS1M0/saved/dKZ6Mp
The idea is that I'm building a pc around a gtx 970 that I won last year. So most of the pc will be composed of the newest generation of parts, with the exception of the graphics department. That will be my first upgrade (maybe accompanied by a new mech keyboard) next year.
