Hello Friends
« on: Sun, 26 October 2014, 03:06:21 »
I've been using my Ducky DK9087 Year of the Dragon for a while now, and just recently acquired an '87 model M. I thought it would be a great time to join the ranks among all of you....so hello!

Welcome to GH! :cool:  We're glad to have you!

A Ducky TKL and a Model M are a good start...what's your next keyboard? :p

I actually just ordered the Poker II with clears off a massdrop group buy. This is going to be my custom board.

60%! Nice! :cool:

What customizations do you have in mind?  Spring swap?  I'm a fan of lubed 55g clears myself. ;)

Welcome Havok! You're off to a screaming good start with this nice range of keyboards, I think you'll find lots to read about and contribute to with the boards you have. Hope to see you around!  :thumb:

Welcome to GeekHack.

If you don't already know, the Poker II with Clears currently on MassDrop has an estimated shipping date at December 17th. I hope you can wait that long.

Yeah the shipping date is quite unfortunate, but seeing as I just picked up my Model M, I have something to play with for the time being! I need to do some more research on customizing, but I was hoping to do a case swap and get some gorgeous keycaps.

Now I want a Model  M.

The Model M is fantastic! The biggest set-back that I have noticed is that going from my Ducky TKL with Reds to the buckling springs is quite a workout for my fingers! But the sound is magical, I just randomly type stuff to hear it now

Welcome to Geekhack!

I swap between MX blacks, greens and Model M - a very good workout for the fingers.

The only thing is my HHKB feels way too light now :))

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
