Hey! Over Here!
« on: Thu, 04 October 2012, 08:33:42 »
Hi folks!

I was looking for a new keyboard and I found out this whole mechanical keyboard thing... and I loved it.
I hope to get more infos about it here and buy my first mechanical keyboard!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Mine your wallet - the more you discover about mechanical keyboards the more you will want ;)
"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
