    Ducky's are incredible, you honestly can't go wrong with them. I think I'll never buy a different brand. Taihao's are great!

    I don't really have anything to say about this album that can't be written a thousand times better by someone else but this album was THE album that got me into music.

    I remember when I was 13 (I'm 19 now) I had a friend who was REALLY into Radiohead and kept sending me links to their music. At the time, I hated it. A few months later, I went back to it and I was blown away. Paranoid Android was unlike anything I'd ever heard. Climbing Up the Walls left me feeling a bit unnerved. I listened to this album so many times I can't even count. I bought every version of the album on CD. I showed it to everyone I knew. From there, I started to really appreciate music and it allowed me to branch out and discover my own tastes. It's a bit cliche, but I really am thankful to this album for making me break out of feeling like music was boring.

    I'm a bit of a Mechanical Keyboard guy. I've got a Ducky One TKL with Black Cherry MX's right now and I put some Taihao Miami keycaps. I put a HolyOOPS D.VA Aluminum keycap on my ESC key. Last keyboard I had was a Ducky Shine 2 w/ ten keys and MX Red's. I really like linear switches, especially for gaming, but I'm considering going with Blue's for my next keyboard because I sort of crave some feedback now. The only thing I really hate is when I'm talking to people - I don't like using push to talk so the background noise will be massive. Guess I'll have to get used to PTT.

    I nominate the album Stage Four by Touché Amoré . The vocalist wrote the album after losing his mother to Stage 4 cancer a few years back. It’s a really solid, heavily emotional Post-Hardcore record and the last track features Julien Baker.

    I mostly follow Baseball the most and my favorite team would be the St. Louis Cardinals. I'm from Colorado but I'm going to see a Cardinals game in August (unfortunately not in St. Louis, but I'll take what I can get) and I'm STOKED.
