Photobucket but will downsize to to web friendly unless you have original size checked. The original image only works when imbedding it not linking it though. Truthfully you probably shouldnt embed a full size even jpg mine are 5 to 6mb much less a raw (which isnt web compatible) mine are probably 25mb. Even multiple 5mb pictues on one page is going to slow page load quite a bit. Also you dont really meed them as even the largest web friendly size on photobucket 1024x768 is plenty big for imbedding into something like a forum. If you want the full size ones just for people to dl I would suggest using something like google drive and just linking it as a file.

I currently have 4 mechanical keyboards.

The first one I got was the Blackwidow ultimate from Razer. I didn't like the glossyness of it so I sold it to my cousin and got myself a Quickfire TK with red switches to try them out. Didn't really like them, they made me make more mistakes than other keyboards, I kept it anyway. After that I got a Ducky Shine 2 with blue switches and white backlight. Really liked going back to blues.

A while ago I bought a Model M on ebay. It was 40 bucks and I couldn't resist. Used it for a while and it now sits on my desk for display.

A few days ago I got a Quickfire Rapid with brown switches because I really wanted to try the brown switches. I fell in love with them. It seems to me that I'm typing a lot faster that with any other keyboard.

I prefer full size keyboards so I'm waiting to see if Corsair expands their choices of K70s with brown switches for one with a red backlight.

 

And that's my keyboard history about 3 years after getting rid of an awful microsoft membrane keyboard.

Recently got a new Ducky 9087 G2 Pro with Cherry MX switches. On top of that I got side-printed ABS keycaps to go along with it, and I just love my new keyboard.

 

 

 

WHERE DID YOU GET SIDE PRINTED CAPS FROM? I'VE BEEN WANTING THESE FOREVER!

Well, not quite a mechanical keyboard, but got some related accessories :D. Phone pic cause I left my camera at my office...

Excuse me for the dusty keycap. It's usually in place on my Ducky keychain and it's attached to my phone so it's constantly taken in and out of my pocket :P

~100 Super fat silica o-rings and white switch covers... Prepping for a future custom kb. ;)

The Super fat o-rings pretty much bottom out at the very beginning of the "click" on MX Blues. I have it installed on my keychain cause I had extras after installing the rest on my MX Black YOTS. Blacks now have a unique feel and I'm not floating on the switches anymore. It has probably half a millimeter after the actuation point. Quite an interesting feel for those that find blacks too stiff and result in sore fingers after long typing periods. I personally didn't mind the stiffness of blacks as it was quite an interesting experience floating on the actuation point. But now with the o-rings installed, the travel distance is probably only 2.5mm-3mm before bottoming out. :P

 

How fat is the o-ring you ask?

Aww man :( Do they have PBT side-print keycaps though? I know they are more well-known than ABS ones. I was lucky that I got a set with navy blue Ducky logo. Apparently the color of the Ducky logo key comes randomly? I just think this navy blue looks really nice on my keyboard.

I don't care what they're made of as long as they're black and side printed. I haven't been able to find then anywhere D:

Do you use US layout or UK? I found this but I don't know if they do international shipping.

I like it a lot. i wasn't looking to pay and arm and a leg for a key board and this one was on sail.  I love the individually backlit keys(green). I am personally a fan of the "clicky" sounding MX Blues. I takes a little time getting used to the font they use for the keys.

It's in the manual it came with ;)

 

Fn+Esc = reset color

Fn+Alt+Num_1-9 = save current color to memory

 

Left Win Key + Right Win Key (hold both for 3 sec) = reset to factory defaults

Thanks man... Lost the manual...

Those look sweet.  Would explain the rainbow colored YOTS I saw pics of.  Here I was thinking it was done with changing out the LEDs themselves!
