Hello there!
« on: Thu, 19 February 2015, 05:56:21 »
Hi all from Spain!

Came here to introduce myself to the community. New user and kind of new in the mech kb as well, though I already own a TECK with blues. I recently found your massive GB and all the info everyone throws in here, so here I am to lurk a bit, and hopefully contribute as well sometime.

I've got mixed feelings on the TECK. It's a great keyboard, but it does have a steep learning curve and it required some unlearning to efficiently use it. Also, when you start using it on a daily basis, going back to a regular layout really makes you feel/look dumb typing  :))

Overall experience, very nice and really enjoying the MX Blues  :)

That's good to hear!  Just by looking at the layout I can imagine the difficulty...

Welcome to Geekhack!

TECK does seem an unusual layout, or at least different to what I am accustomed to.

Is there a particular reason you chose this keyboard?  One solution might be to get a more conventional layout keyboard with MX blues.

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

I really liked the split design with vertical staggered keys, rather than the usual horizontal staggering. I was also looking for something without numpad and ergonomic, so this was the choice I made. It takes some time to get used to the slash/question mark/quote keys, but I found out it only took like a week to get used to it.

I've never had a problem with tired fingers or pain as a result of continuous hours on the keyboard after buying this, so I guess it's been a nice investment, though I'm thinking on building myself an Ergodox  :)

Ergo Dox very popular - there is often support for that layout in group buys.  Plus a whole bunch of people who use them.

In fact there are some very, very nice Ergo Doxes around here :)
