Hello from SoCal!
« on: Sun, 19 April 2015, 08:26:08 »
Hi everyone!

I been lurking around this site for about a year now, and I wanted to create an account to participate in the wealth of information.
I'm interested in getting into the keyboard modding scene.

Cheers!

Hi penguin, welcome to our community! :cool:

Do you have any switch preference? Maybe MX vs. Topre?

What is your daily driver?

I like all the Cherry switches! Each has it's own feel, and variety is good. :)
I have yet to get my hands on a Topre board. I am looking for one weighted at a uniform 30g.
My daily driver is an IBM Model M 1391401.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Yay for Model M! :D

What kind of mods were you thinking of, and to which keyboard?  Modding your Model M?

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

For the IBM Model M, I was thinking about doing the dental floss mod.

I may buy a HHKB, and would like to lube and dental band that.

Hello fellow socal resident!

I am considering a HHKB purchase as well, but I want to try out a Realforce.

For a Model M that will not have quite as much effect as you might suspect.  Apparently the floss mod is ore effective on a Model F.
