It's amazing being able to see and try out so many crazy and interesting keyboards in one place. Stuff that even bigger places like Bic Camera don't have, and that you could never imagine e seeing in a shop back in the UK. I picked up a Rainy75 and a set of WS BigLucky Tactiles to go with it. I'm looking forward to getting home to try it all out for real and get familiar with the setup. I'm also kinda weirded out to not hate the linear switches that the Rainy comes with. Shop guy Olodeh (hope I got your name right bro!) was super helpful, and overall a really positive experience. My favourite thing was the switch testers that show you on screen what each switch is, and some details about it. Some minor disappointments: no Boba U4T in stock today - i was looking forward to trying those; and no Wooting keebs for my gamer son to try out, although they did have another HE board that was above our price range, so at least we got a feel for that one.

I was really surprised that they had added a switch capsule machine out front. It's a nice way to pick up some weird switches.

They usually have some cute and decorative keycaps as well.
