Keyboard Modder/Painter
« on: Sat, 26 December 2015, 03:42:10 »
Hello all!

I've been a lurker for sometime from Singapore, I love myself a good mech keyboard. I currently use a Topre Realforce and a Blue switch filco.
My passion is in painting and modification (exterior) of stuff. My main reason for creating an account is so I can contribute in the "Make stuff together Forum". I want to contribute some "HOW TO" Guides and discuss other modifications with other modders!
I've posted a walk through how I did my first modification for my girlfriend as a christmas present!

Welcome! People who contribute knowledge are highly valued!

BTW, what's life like in Singapore? I've heard that some people really love it, but I've also heard that you can go to prison for really minor crimes.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Where were you when everyone was painting QFR cases? :p

Which is your favourite keyboard out of the RealForce and the Filco?
"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
