Hello from Singapore!
« on: Tue, 05 February 2013, 11:54:19 »
HELLO GEEKHACK! Just a humble student here from Singapore trying to survive on a tight budget whilst indulging in this relatively expensive hobby, among a few others :p Anyways, although this is my first post, I've been browsing through GH a lot ever since I fell in love with my Filco MJ2 TKL with MX Browns at the end of last year, as well as having one of Bpiphany's HID Liberators en route to me in the mail! Inevitably, like all my other hobbies (audio and cycling), my hands are itching to get tweaking away at my keyboard :-X Future plans include trying MX Clears (and Ergo Clears) and voyaging into the endless chase for unique keycaps ;)

Hope to make some new friends here through our shared passion for mechs :)
nd I know they're quite a few other  Singaporeans around here, so here's a loud SHOUTOUT to all of you! :D

Welcome to GeekHack. It appears that you already know quite a bit about our shared hobby. I think browns are a great place to start, and a nice feeling switch (some here disagree). I only have experience with Browns, but I'm building a custom keyboard with Green switches.

Prepare for your wallet to be consumed. We've got it all: Custom keyboards, Korean keyboards, custom keycaps, keycaps shaped like Iron Man's helmet with glowing eyes. Filco is arguably one of the most mod-friendly keyboards due to the sheer (comparatively) number of aftermarket parts, so you chose a good keyboard to start with for modding. Switches are a matter of personal preference, and if you find you don't like a certain switch, once you reach 60 posts, you can sell it here to another member for money to buy another keyboard (or textbooks if you need them).

Welcome to Geekhack!

There are a few unique keycaps out there, literally - good luck finding some ;)

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

HAHA Sup guys! If I'm not mistaken I do have a VRZ acc under the same user that I made last time... That I obviously seldom or never used haha! Hmm, does anyone arrange GB delivery for SG ppl? Seems like a good idea to share shipping if more of us are interested in particular GBs haha! And I'm waiting to go NS in May :X


EDIT: Oh wait, just saw durainello's sig xD
