New Member - Hi - switched to Pok3r pic included
« on: Mon, 17 August 2015, 09:36:11 »
Hi GH'ers. I'm new to the world of premium keyboards. I've used them since the late 80s for fun and career, but now I want to have one or two that really conform to my tastes and needs.

I'm starting a build with the Leopold FC660M aluminum case and Carbon keycaps from Massdrop.

Thanks for being a great community and being supportive!

Welcome to Geekhack!

That's not quite a premium keyboard, on the scale of things, but is a very respectable place to start ;)

Yes start :p  Once you've seen the keyboards some of the other GHers have, you will wonder how you missed out on so many opportunities for so long!

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

Ok, my last n00bie-ish post. I have attached a pic of my desk setup. I have some purple switches on order. I'd like to start working on a new project; probably a 40% programmable.

Cheers, and thanks for the great support on this board!

She watches the birds from there twitching her tail on my mouse pad. She's a bit crazy. At night sometimes she sits in front of the mirror and meows and yowls at her reflection. Cats are weird man.

Btw, going with the minimalist theme, you noticed my little custom http://www.ncases.com/ M1 based custom computer. Its tiny, but sports a GTX980 and Noctua passive cooler and fans http://i.imgur.com/G5rx2F2.jpg. http://i.imgur.com/GLIShi8.jpg These are amazing little cases occasionally sold through Massdrop.

Cheers!

That's a neat case!

Were I to seek such a case, shipping on Massdrop would probably double the price :))
