I have all of the performance and the racing pedigree here. WASD Keyboards lets you customize your kb with whatever color key caps you want. Here’s my Gulf Racing KB.

Nice, I love their keyboards.

This is my first from them, and I am digging it. I have a couple of other mech kbs, but I wanted to get the custom keycaps. When I saw teh marigold and royal blue it was a no-brainer. I am also going to be building a OLKB Preonic keyboard next month but not sure I will type well with that layout.

I’ll have to google that...

...and that looks hard to type on.

Yeah I don’t know how that is going to be. But it will be fun soldering it all together.

That is totally rad but looks hard to type on.

Nice. I just picked up this Vortex Race 3 with Cherry clears as my latest board. One day I am probably going to get a WASD custom keyboard but for now I already have more keyboards than I really need.

The non staggered layouts are a bit hard to get used to.

A buddy of mine is obsessed with the Planck 40% OLKBs and he talked me into trying the Preonic. I will be building that kit out in a month or so once it ships.

I have never really got on with OLKBs. My muscle memory just fights me all the time. Meanwhile my friend had no issue when he bought one with blank keycaps.

Yeah it’s an experiment for me. I am getting a Preonic kit to try it out.

I do want to do a kit one of these days when I have the time for it but will probably stick to a standard 60% layout. I have to say that in the 2 days I have been using the Race this 75% layout has become my new favorite layout and the clears are my new favorite switch.

Wasn’t digging the G910 enough, or you needed more Gulf livery in your life?

I actually got this for work but wanted to play with it before taking to the office on monday. If I annoy people too much I’ll take the 910 into work and the WASD back home.

Is it a lot louder than the 910?

I got a CyberPowerPC keyboard for free with my computer and it is hellishly loud compared to the 910. I had never tried a mechanical keyboard before I got the 910 but I had heard a few and I was scared it was going to be too loud.

It is significantly louder but I like the key feel so much better.

I kept it marginally oppo w/ the color theme.

Oh man, I can geek out on some keebs. I love the Gulf keycaps! I almost bought a similar set, but decided against it. Regretting that now. Ive got an Input Club K-type I’m currently rocking, along with a Ducky Zero, a Razer chroma tourny X, and just got in a Glorious PC GMMK that I’m throwing in some Kailh speed coppers and a GMK Nautilus keycap set, I think...

I have a G910, a razer blackwidow stealth chroma the WASD and a OLKB Preonic kit coming that I will be building.

Nice! Im considering swapping a few for a nightfox from IC. We’ll see.

I’venot build a kit yet. Someday, but for now I’m working with swappable switch boards.

My few little taps on the louder one did feel a little nicer. But I’m so used to non-mechanical boards, especially on laptops.

That looks quite painful.
