I'm somewhat annoyed by some people's narrow definitions of "the hobby".

I'm on this board because I type a lot every day and want good tools and I like to create and modify things. That is what Geekhack was about when I registered a long time ago. But apparently there are people who are here only because they have been bit by a collecting bug. I avoid the shiny colourful stuff: it is not for me.

What I do like is that the widening of keyboards as a hobby has nurtured keyboard evolution, so that there not exist even affordable ready-to-buy keyboards with interesting useful features and technical solutions. Not many years ago, you couldn't buy a gasket-mounted keyboard with hot-swapping sockets, without having to solder it yourself, but now you can.

I've updated the colevrake kit to include 2 blank homing keys!

Welcome to geekhack

if by shooting keyboards, you meant taking photos of them then the post your korean keyboard and post your topre keyboards have tons of great photos of keyboards.

Happy to share this project looks to be moving forward 

Some kitting updates based on further community feedback and discussion with vendors (FAQ updated):
- WoB kit won't be included unfortunately; we're going back to the original plan of beige and dolch kits only.
- Hangul control and alt keys will likely be included in 1.5u (beige and dolch). Loads of people asked for this. Awaiting updated quote from GMK.

Big win for the hangul lovers - much appreciated.

Ever since I got my hhkb, I've noticed that I've been typing like, way less hard than I used too, you would think I was using 100g springs with how hard it was, but I don't know it just happened suddenly when I switched off it to my mx board and realised that.

I think it might've happened because of how tiring it was with how I used to type on my hhkb, cause it's got that steel plate so when you type really hard it feels so stiff, so maybe my hands adjusted subconsciously so It wouldn't be as harsh or tiring. The only other thing I could think of is that because the actuation of the topre switches and it being tactile, but I have used tactiles that are like topre in terms of you push the switch and it bottoms out and I still typed pretty hard with them.

How hard do you all type, would like to know?
