Greetings!
« on: Tue, 30 December 2014, 02:22:38 »
hey there, i've been a keyboard enthusiast for quite a while now, even though i only own a poker ii with cherry mx browns (im planning to get more, but my wallet does not like me!). i've also been lurking here for a few months, and i think its finally time for me to register. I live in Lebanon, not the best country in the world but not the last place id ever want to live in so whatever lol. my favorite game for the moment is cs:go, and i also made the Corpsemopolitan, a hat in Team Fortress 2, even though i dont play tf2 as much as i did before.

But still, good to make an account here after all that time!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Poker - nice one :)

And thoughts about which keyboard you might get next?
"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

thanks! To be honest, i have no idea of which keyboard i want next  :D, probably something more expensive like an hhkb or ergodox. but if i get more than one keyboard, my family would go "WHY WOULD YOU NEED MORE THAN ONE KEYBOARD, WE DONT HAVE INFINITE MONEY" but that wont stop me :P

Have you got more than one computer?

Other than that you could say that the HHKB is to relax your fingers when they are tired ;)

There you go - immediate need for 2 keyboards.

And if you upgrade the older one, keep the bits to make a server so you can teach yourself GNU/Linux - there's an excuse for a third keyboard!
