No longer a silent stalker!
« on: Fri, 03 July 2015, 22:40:57 »
Yew!

Long time stalker on geekhack after looking at some of the more model F related threads (especially the "Soarer's converter" and "Harry's ANSI Conversion" thread). Now that I am done and have a neato mechanical keyboard I thought I would introduce myself.

1. The keyboards
For years I had used a good ol' fashion Logitech G510, after I had probems with software drivers I was edging towards getting a software free plug n play mechanical keyboard. So mid last year I got 1 mechanical keyboard, I am now sitting at 4...... WHAT HAVE YOU ALL DONE TO ME

I will maybe upload my other KB's if I get around to it

2. The person that uses them

I live in Australia. I like mechanical keyboards, video games, 4WD's, old wooden furniture and crabbing.

So far my favourite switch would have to be the Model F BS. Still has that awesome click-clack while not needing to be Lou Ferrigno to type on it for extended periods of time :P. Hopefully I can find a nice Topre 60% for a travel keyboard, but that will be when I have lost the ability to hold myself back from such a purchase

Nice! Buckling spring is a great switch, and I have heard good things about the Model F, but haven't tried one myself yet. I would definitely recommend the hhkb pro 2 as a 60% topre keyboard. You can even get Hasu's bluetooth controller for it, making it bluetooth!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Aha!  So you can modify an F122 to ANSI - I was wondering about that, trying to decide whether to get an M122 or an F122.  Unfortunately my lack of time to undertake a project like that kinda obviates my joy in finding an ANSI-modded F122.

A Topre 60% - do you mean an HHKB, perchance? :p

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

either a HHKB or FC660C, both would be nice options, just comes down to if I can part with a arrow cluster.

That's pretty much it - arrow keys or not.  Either would be a find addition to your collection.

And chances are you'll end up with one of each anyway :p
