Hello Nerds
« on: Tue, 30 October 2012, 15:06:17 »
Hello all geekhackers! My name is Martin and i live in malmö which is the third largest city in Sweden. So i'm new here at geekhack and i found this great forum when i was doing some research on mechanical keyboards because i want one but i won't settle for anything so i am having a hard time finding the keyboard i want. But i think i might find the answer to my questions in some thread here :D The keyboard i am the most interested in so far is the Ducky Shine 2 MX Blue so if you have any comments on that i'm interested.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Seems a few Swedish members recently :)

I have two Ducky Shine 1 with MX blues - both are fantastic.  A good solid board, good quality, nice backlighting (one has red LEDs one has green).  The only down side is that the original Ducky Shine does not remember backlighting settings across reboots, but this is apparently resolved with the Ducky Shine II.
"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
