Guess I havn't introduced myself...
« on: Sun, 14 October 2012, 19:05:16 »
Hey, I'm new to the forums. I think I've found a great community here!

Actually, I've heard a lot of good things about mechanical keyboards from friends etc. I've been searching around the internet for about 2-3 months now. Still looking for a good first board.  I've narrowed it down to a Leopold, CM Quickfire Rapid, or Filco (though the Filco is pretty hard to find in the US).

Welcome to Geekhack!

There have been a few recommendations recently for a CM QFR - hopefully you'll be able to get one without branding.  This keyboard seems to be one of the cheaper ones, but the quality is up there with Filco.

"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
