hello
« on: Tue, 23 October 2012, 01:21:27 »
New user, long time mechanical keyboard fan.

Been using a matias tactile pro for 7 years or so, which has r3duced keyboard pain and frustration enormously, but I still suffer (mainly from finger pain caused by mousing, I suspect the scrollwheel on my trackball).

Recently got interested in making a split board (key64 / ergodox style), have a couple of donor boards lying about (apple m0116 with orange alps, chicony with inverse futabas).

Simon.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Have a look here http://geekhack.org/index.php?board=117.0 for ideas and help on making your own keyboard :)
"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
