hi geekhack
« on: Mon, 10 September 2012, 19:49:51 »
Hi
I am the proud new owner of a HHKP2 and have lurked here before. I have had a filco cherry blues, das keyboard ultimate s browns, and filco reds for a while, but figured the acquisition of the HHKP2 moved me to the point of needed to officially introduce myself. Hello! I am a programming biologist running linux and I do like myself a mechanical keyboard.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Seems you have some keyboard experience already.
"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

I am definitely happy with the HHKB. I was already thinking about maybe getting a second for travel (one for the office and one for the bag). haven't found an acceptable travel case though (i know the elitekeyboards ones but seems a little hefty)
