Title: Hello All
Post by: lbwmoo on Fri, 31 August 2012, 14:00:04

I'd like to blame each and every one of you for providing the information that you do. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be typing on this brand new Filco Ninja (Brown). I have a Razer Black Widow (Blue) at home, but am much happier with my new work board. Looking forward to learning and sharing experiences.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Having bought some MX blues for home, I couldn't stand the rubber domes I had at work, so I got another MX blues.

Now I have a Filco with MX browns on order ...

On a different topic, what's with the apparent obsession of some to use a TKL board? Perhaps it's just the line of work that I'm in, or the manual inventory at the retail level I had to do when I was younger, but the 10-Key is essential to me. I couldn't imagine using the number row for anything other than obligatory numbers in passwords. I understand it saves space, but, for me at least, the cost would be too high.

I love tenkeyless or smaller because it gives me more desk space and provides better ergonomics (in my situation, at least) while either typing or gaming. Can always grab a 10-key pad separate and move it into range when needed.

It is okay to like browns more than blues. No shame!

For some a numeric keypad is essential.

For many others, who may never use those extra keys, a TKL frees up desk space, is a tad lighter (to carry around), and is slightly cheaper to buy a set of custom key caps for.
