Hi GH!
« on: Sun, 24 January 2016, 10:57:26 »
Hey GH! Finally made an account after lurking for a while. I've been using mechanical keyboards for a while (started with CM Storm QuickFire Ultimate), but just recently picked up a Pok3r. I'm interested in ergo keyboards and input devices in general and just placed an order for an ergodox infinity. Lets see how deep this rabbit-hole goes!

Welcome to Geekhack!

This rabbit hole goes very deep indeed.

Have you decided which switches you'll use on your 'Dox?  Which keycaps?
"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

Great!

Fantastic switches and a keycap set that will actually fit!
