Post by: 3rdEden on Fri, 10 June 2016, 08:21:05

Hey all,

I'm new to the keycap scene. I'm old fart from the Netherlands. I originally started out as designer artist, did a lot of work in 3D designs and now i'm full time programmer. I love gaming. Currently just looking around and searching for my first 60% mechanical keyboard. And start customizing the **** out of it.

So you'll probably see me around posting stupid ass questions because I still have lots to learn :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

Are you looking at buying or building your 60% keyboard?

If buying, an HHKB or a Pok3r are both very popular.

If building, the GH60 might be a good place to start: http://techkeys.us/collections/accessories/products/gh60

60% mechanical.. Sounds like a Kinesis Advantage, lol.  Do you mean like, a rubber dome key with mechanical hinges, like a laptop?


  If you're a programmer I highly recommend Kinesis boards by the way, really ergonomic, some are mechanical (their contoured top line models) and will increase your wpm (has macros too).  Welcome!
