um...
the Ergodox is for Advanced users only, who likes to tinker and explore NOT having wrist pain..
If you don't have wrist pain... and You type slowly or not much at all.. then It's not imperative that you even buy a mechanical keyboard to begin with...
Well then by all means disregard my Comment, and buy whatever the fvk you want to buy.. sheesh..
Just warning you about how advanced and Specific the ergodox is.... not for the feint of heart...
Wow, with comments like that you really come off sounding like an jerk.
It's up to him if he feels that he wants a mechanical keyboard. It has nothing to do with how many WPM he can type. He could do no typing on it at all, and might only use it for gaming.
The question he asked was; “I have just seen the ergodox kit on massdrop, and it looks like a good price. However, I have only soldered about 5 times (maybe 4-5 hours experience), do you think that the project would be too hard?”
I don't see where you answered his question, AND I clearly didn't see him ask you your opinion on anything but soldering.
With your last comment I can see that you are clearly an a$$hole
PS: if you're having a bad day or something, that happens to all of us. Just read your post a few times before sending it. Didn't your mother ever tell you; “if you don't have something nice to say, just keep your mouth shut”
PPS: I can't stand to see someone down talk someone else like that. We are all here because we like mechanical keyboards, so let's try to play nice
