Hello!
« on: Sun, 09 September 2012, 17:04:30 »
Hello all,

New to geekhack having just rediscovered mechanical keyboards. Got hold of a couple of old cherry boards and fell in love with the feel of the switches compared to rubber dome and I'm now looking to upgrade to a modern plate mounted board. Stuck between either the blue or brown MX switches at the moment and cannot make my mind up (like both equally). In addition to that I would like to pick up a smaller portable keyboard to take around with me and a buckling spring board as I grew up on the old model M keyboard before it was likely disposed of :(

Regards,
Kris.

Welcome Welcome to GH!

Ergo clears are where its at! And I would recommend looking at getting a Pure for a small portable board, I would recommend a Poker as well, but they seem to be hard to find these days.

"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
