I miss the simpler times!  My past 5 years have been spent shredding some epic pow on snowboards and snowmobiles, and phenomenal mountain biking in the summertime in the high rockies, and because of my selfish escape from citylife I missed out on the initial crypto run.  Watched my forgotten btc grown into something meaningful, began mining eth, bought new mechs for various purposes, all while staring at these little guys that reminded me of this fun little community that helped bring mechs to the masses!!  Good work friends, old members and new, thanks Hoffman for following through on the GH60 debacle, shout out to any old heads still around, I miss this place!

Ah, the simpler times are long gone.

I can remember when we'd recommend a Ducky, Filco or QFR based on requirements.

SP and Clack made keycaps.

That was about it.

GH is always here, you're welcome to return at any time :)
"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
