Hola amigos
« on: Mon, 26 October 2015, 17:26:19 »
Hey, so I just recently purchased my first mechanical keyboard last month, Pok3r with mx reds (I game a lot). I learned about this community from r/mk and hope to be able to make my own keyboard from individual parts. I also plan to buy some keycaps from for my Pok3r as soon as possible! Looking forward towards the future, I can already see this being a big addicting hobby in my near future :D :)

Welcome to Geekhack!

Pok3r is a good place to start - standard layout, very popular, much support.  What made you choose MX red switches?

Have you seen the recommended reading thread?  There's lots of information linked from there about building your own keyboard.
"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

Games needing a lot of function key action don't work well on a 60%.  Too awkward in the tick of the action to Fn-4 to get F4, for example.

But apart from that I have no problems using my HHKB for gaming :)
