Sup kids, I'm CPTBadAss (CPT is the US Army abbreviation of Captain). I first discovered GeekHack while doing research for my Filco Majestouch 2. I stumbled upon DanGWanG's blog and saw the Red Alert set. Of course I had to find out what they were and eventually I wound up lurking GeekHack. Now I spend my time spamming, writing reviews, and helping out/working on various projects. But mostly spamming.

Nothing but us chickens here.
 
 
If you ever wanna chill and chat or ask me anything, you can find me on the GeekHack IRC, in PMs, or Skype. Just hit me up!

===Click Clack Wiki and Pictures===
 
[http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=33569.msg797041#msg797041 SmallFry] and I have been working on this article. Please submit pictures to his Dropbox so we can continue updating the [http://wiki.geekhack.org/index.php?title=Click_Clack# Clack Wiki].
 
 
 
===Clack Info Thread===
 
[http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39794.msg783988#msg783988 The Clack Info thread] is something I'm compiling. It has some information on Clack materials, vendors, colors, and prices (Retail and Second-hand). This spawned the Clack Wiki thread. The second-hand price section is being updated constantly but the information and colors will be most up-to-date in the Clack Wiki. If you see any issues with the Wiki, please PM me on GeekHack and I'll take care of it.
 
 
 
===Simple Questions Simple Answers===
 
I started [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.0 this thread] so that people could ask random questions and get answers. More deviously, it was a way for me to learn more about many random keyboard and GH related things. Have a question? Post there and I'll hunt down an answer.
 
 
 
===The_Beast's GH60 Case===
 
To go along with the [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=34959.0 GH60], The_Beast designed a [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39787.0 amazing aluminum case]. I helped answer a few questions, offered some design help, and checked the drawings that The_Beast sent out for quotes. Please check it out and consider picking it up. It's really awesome. And the cases can be anodized to have [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39787.msg821179#msg821179 sexy colors].
 
 
 
===Photekq's Filco/Phantom TKL Case===
 
I offered to help Photekq out with [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41202.0 his case] with a random PM and we've been discussing some designs. I've also been answering some of Photekq's technical/engineering questions. Can't wait to see his finished case!
 
 
 
===Tofu101 (TKL Alps Board Project)===
 
This is the first keyboard I've modded myself. The build log can be found [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44810.msg931314#msg931314 here]
 
 
 
===Filco Cable Swap===
 
I [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42889.0 documented] my first keyboard mod just for posterity and so I could refer back to it. I had never opened up a keyboard before this.
 
 
 
===Keycap/Switch Tour===
 
The last tour was lost by USPS and I haven't really replaced it full yet. You can check out the first tour [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44312.msg915983#msg915983 here]. The old IC is [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39883.0 here]. I sent around a Tipro so that I can help people understand how different cap materials (ABS, PBT, POM, etc) will feel. I also acquired a [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41117.0 Mr. Interface Switch Try Bag] for the tour. It has a ton of different switches like Alps, Topre, and Buckling Spring.
 
 
 
===GeekHack Coffee Exchange===
 
Like coffee? Come join [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40285.0 the discussion] and share some beans!! Binge and I hatched this randomly one night in IRC and I've been enjoying amazing mail coffee since!
 
 
 
===Bananas' Custom Keyboard Case===
 
My sister sewn me [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44309.0 this carrying case] to bring my boards to and from work. I really love it since it's handmade from her. Plus we had a blast figuring how out to put the patches on it. Please check it out, she did a great job!
 
 
 
===KMAC Photo Build Log===
 
[http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47093.0 I built a KMAC.] It was cool. Then I typed on it. It was also cool.
 
 
 
===Razer Orbweaver Mod===
 
[http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=48771.msg1048399#msg1048399 I modded my Orbweaver] to have Vintage MX Blacks and Magenta LEDs. Shoutouts to Binge for hooking me up with an Orbweaver
 
 
 
 
 
== '''Reviews''' ==
 
I started writing as a hobby in 2011. On Geekhack, I've been writing some of my thoughts on keyboards and related goodies. Please check 'em out and let me know if you find them helpful. I'm always looking for feedback on both these and on [http://www.teamliquid.net/blog/cptbadass my blog on TeamLiquid], a prominent StarCraft 2 community/forum/team.
 
 
 
===Filco TenKeyPad===
 
This a review I wrote about the [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39992.0 Filco Majestouch Tenkeypad]. It's just the numberpad and nothing else. It's got MX Brown switches.
 
 
 
===Leopold FC700R===
 
This board was my [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41048.0 first TKL board]. It was my daily driver at home. Apparently it's a little hard to come by unless you want to pay for a proxy but I got lucky and scored a good deal on it. It's a really great board and probably the best impulse buy I've made on GeekHack.
 
 
 
===Mr. Interface Switch Try Bag===
 
The [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41117.0 Mr. Interface Switch Try Bag] is a baggie that has multiple switches in it. And when I mean multiple, I mean most easily attained switches. It's actually a ridiculous deal for what you get out of it. It's how I figured out that MX Whites were on the same level as MX Blues for me (AKA my favorites).
 
 
 
===O-Rings and Soft Landing Pads===
 
Sifo hooked me up with some free [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40227.0 O-Rings and Soft Landing Pads]. They're pretty nifty and I used black soft landing pads from EliteKeyboards on my FC700R for a few months.
 
 
 
===Dell AT101===
 
Akimbro created this [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37940.0 tour] where he sent his Dell AT101 with tactile black alps around to let people try it out. I was lucky enough to sign up and write my thoughts [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41868.0 here].
 
 
 
===Complete Switch Reviews===
 
After going to the 2013 [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40116.0 Chicago/Great Lakes] and [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38767.0 Nashville] meetups, I [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42669.0 documented all my thoughts] on the switches I tried at both meets. This is pretty much my opinion on every cap I've tried: Topre, Cherry MX, Alps, Buckling Spring, Acer, Alps Clones, etc etc. The review ties in with my [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41117.0 Mr. Interface Switch Try Bag review].
 
 
 
===CMoy Amp===
 
Tipo33 was kind enough to let me borrow his [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43312.0 CMoy amplifier]. I used it for headphones but I can be used for other audio equipment as well.
 
 
 
===Buckling Spring Switches===
 
I got really lucky and managed to buy an SSK for cheap. And then I got to sign up for [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42802.0 AKIMbO's AT F tour] as well. My thoughts on both these switches can be [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43883 found here].
 
 
 
===MX Black, 65g, 62g Spring Swap===
 
I had all these springs right? And I had a Mr. Interface Switch Try Bag right? So I swapped all the springs into all the switches and [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44749.0 came up with this review.]
 
 
 
===Jailhouse Blue QFR===
 
khaangaaroo modified this QFR from stock MX Blues to Jailhouse Blue switches and then put the board on tour. Info on the Jailhouse Blues mod can be found [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40193.msg795624#msg795624 here (khangaaroo's guide)] and [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38091.0 here (LeslieAnn's guide)]. My review can be found [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=43004.msg944042#msg944042 in the Jailhouse Blue QFR thread]
 
 
 
===KBT Pure with MX White===
 
This was my first 60% board. There is a lot of interest in 60% boards and there are a lot coming out so I thought it would be cool to document my thoughts on the board and the MX White switches. The review can be found [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45459.msg951251#msg951251 here].
 
 
 
===nubbinator Cable Review===
 
Got my hands on one of nubbinator's cables so I wanted to write a [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46035.0 a review on it].
 
 
 
===CoolerMaster QuickFire TK===
 
[http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=46950.0 Missalaire let me borrow this keyboard] so I could review it. She's amazing and this board is pretty good too.
 
 
 
===Binge Caps===
 
[http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=49004.0 Binge has been making] cool keycaps and I wanted to share my thoughts about them.
 
 
 
===Headphone Reviews===
 
[http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50824.0 tjcaustin and TheGunner100] let me borrow a ton of headphones and I test drove all of them. This was pretty much a crash course on audiophile gear for me and I really enjoyed writing this review.
 
 
 
== '''Other Writeups''' ==
 
===Chicago Meet===
 
I went to the [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40116.0 Great Lakes/Chicago meet] and wrote some of my thoughts about it [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40116.msg854447#msg854447 here]. Please check it out since I met a lot of cool people there and tried out a ton of boards. I also wrote this [http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40116.msg852138#msg852138 silly writeup describing my thoughts of everyone I met] in lieu of a group photo.
