O Hai :)
« on: Thu, 27 September 2012, 15:47:58 »
Hey geekhack! I'm Unicorn of bit-tech.net, I had to register as Unicorn_Systems because "Unicorn" was taken :( Lots of my fellow members from bit-tech are members here and they recently sucked me into mechanical keyboards, so here I am! I'm using a Choc Mini with blacks for gaming and a Poker with reds on my home office rig at the moment, and thanks to some advice from those who know what they're talking about, I'm now awaiting delivery of a Filco Ninja with blues for my office desk in school (where I have a part time job). If you'd like to know more about me, there is a long, fairly boring spiel under "who is Unicorn?" on my blog at http://www.unicornsystems.co.uk/blog :D

I'll add that I'm hoping to start customising my Poker soon - both of my current boards are exactly as they were when I took them out of their boxes! :)

Hello there sir and welcome to geekhack...You have some nice keyboards there and you will really like the MX Blues.

I take it you're into racing?

Thanks! Yes, I'm really looking forward to getting the Ninja, at the moment I'm using a standard Dell issue rubber dome board in work and it's... gross  :))

Yes, I'm very much into racing! I'm a MotoGP and F1 fan, and also love some rallying and Irish Road Racing :D As you'll see from the blog, I intend on building a trackday car over the next few/several years and taking it around Uk and European tracks like the Nurburgring, Silverstone, Combe etc! :)

I'm also a massive ice hockey fan - we have a team here in NI called the Giants who I actually do technical audio/visual and broadcasting work for. When it comes to the NHL I'm a Pens guy, sorry :))

Welcome to Geekhack!

Going back to the Dell keyboards feels a bit like typing on a sponge to me.

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
