Greetings
« on: Thu, 05 March 2015, 13:44:38 »
Well it's been almost 1 year and I haven't really said too much or given a formal introduction, so allow me to take the time to do that now.

Hey.

It was the Toxic group buy that lead me to this site last year. This was shortly after I had sold my Ducky Shine to acquire a Poker 2 with blues. After a wonderful, albeit noisy year with the Poker, it's time to head towards greener pastures. Tomorrow (assuming FedEx's tracking is on point) I'll be taking my first step towards keyboard adulthood and getting my hands on my first Topre board, an HHKB Pro 2. I look forward to another year of lurking, learning, commenting, and of course hunting for caps with you all.

A belated Welcome to Geekhack!

And now the Toxic sets are being shipped - there is much excitement!

When you said greener pastures, I though you meant something with MX greens :))
"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
