I shouldn't have signed up for this place.
« on: Thu, 16 October 2014, 19:24:36 »
I already have a penchant for spending too much money on peripherals (have a number of mice and headphones because of curiosity) and already have 3 keyboards with another on the way and now I've found somewhere new to tell me it's okay to spend all this money and introduce me to even more toys.  Haven't even gotten the 104UB that's on its way (my first topre) but I'm somewhat already looking into the HHKB or a uniform 87U.  And hey, maybe I should spend the money/time to try out those ergo clears that I've been reading about since they sound neat.  Or maybe a keyboard with mathias quiet switches since I have tried alps.  And what's this massdrop thing, a bunch of neat stuff there too!


It's okay after all, there are others who have spent thousands!

Welcome to the site.

Based on your penchant for spending money, you're screwed. :))

Welcome to Geekhack!

Yes, this can become an expensive hobby.  Just keep reminding yourself what your life was like before you discovered the world of mechanical keyboards :))

"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

My life was rich and without importing something every month. Hopefully I will get a regular customer discount at my local customs office in the near future :D

Anyway, welcome to GeekHack!  :thumb:
