Hello, Geekhack.
« on: Sun, 28 August 2016, 23:22:30 »
Hi.

My interest in mechanical keyboards formed after my first visit to /r/mk. Since then, I've bought a Magicforce with blues, and nothing else. Don't really know what I want to get into next, but I am considering a custom board, possibly with clears or Zealios.

Happy to be here and looking forward to becoming a part of this community.

Welcome :)

Najs, would highly recommend Zealios.
It's the only MX style tactile switch I'd use anymore.

Welcome to Geekhack!

You have a world of possibilities ahead of you.  The biggest problem will be knowing when to stop buying keyboards ;)

Would you be looking at building a custom keyboard yourself?  Or getting one ready-made?  Either way that cuts down the options quite a bit, but does allow you to customise it just the way you want.

"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

I'm thinking of building a Planck with 67g Zealios, actually.
