Hi newbie here
« on: Mon, 14 September 2015, 12:39:19 »
Hello geekhack member,
I'm from Indonesia, sorry with if i making a grammar mistake  and noob question :D
i'm stumble upon geckhack when i'm looking for mechanical keyboard. Since then i'm lurk in here for about 4 month now.
The first keyboard i'm purchased was KBT pure pro with mx reds. But i'm not happy with mx red for typing, i'm making too much typo  :-[ . After reading the suggestion from here and my local keyboard vendor i bought another board Leopold fc 750r with mx blue. The blues was incridible for typing. but my family annoyed by how the blues sound  :( . So after lurking and reading information i try another board a Novatouch Tkl because i'm currious too how the membrane have so many loyal fans. And yes the topre was very incredible i love how it feel.

So that my little story, BTW thanks geekhack members for all the info.

Welcome to Geekhack!

You are starting to gain experience with different keyboards and different switches - that's good :)

I also find reds far too light for typing.  I prefer stiffer switches, like MX blacks or MX clears.  Or Topre.  Or buckling springs. :))

"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

Yup the strong point in mx reds was only for gaming imo.  ;D. What are buckling springs? What it's feel like? Sorry noob question :D

The old IBM Model M keyboards sported buckling springs under the switches.  Pressing a key actually caused the spring to buckle, tilting a hammer at the bottom of the barrel making the electrical contact.

Unicomp still make buckling spring keyboards.
