Hey from Texas
« on: Sat, 11 April 2015, 17:08:26 »
So I've been on here for a short while but I havent introduced myself yet. I'm located just outside Austin.

Definitely a great forum and I've been enjoying my time here. Always enjoy learning more technical things and getting into other projects.

Here are my keyboards currently.

K65 converted to MX Clears with Black(red eyes) Gask Mask on ESC Key

Leopold F660c(guy used it for 10 minutes then put it back in the box)

Both actually just arrived about an hour ago. I also jumped in the Smallfry Group Buy.

Thinking maybe about throwing my hat into the ring for one of these too

(non assembled version. Always enjoy building.)

Welcome to Geekhack!

Did you convert the K65 yourself?

Do you plan on using the FC660C more?  'Cause if you didn't like the feel of the Topre switches on your first try then give them a couple of weeks.  You might end up loving them and selling everything else :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

I did not convert them. However, the person who did do the work did an excellent job.

I'm using it right now and it's awesome. My favorite keyboard so far. Love the feel of the Topre switches.

Another happy FC660C user :)

I sometimes refer to it as the orange keyboard :))
