I too like keyboards.  In addition though, this place feels like a community.  I know that I can ask a question or get in on a discussion and will not be ignored (goofed on maybe though  ;)).

People, boards, even drama is fun sometimes. A community that share some common interests.

I like the 'size' of it; big enough so that there are always new posts, but not too many.

You can post here without having your post drown in a sea of other posts within a minute, and you don't need to turn posting into a second job just to become a recognised face.

Obviously I also like the people and the discussions, but I'm not all that into keyboards, so there are plenty of other places I could hang out. The reason I like GH so much is because I can actually be helpful here, I can say stuff that matters.

Try the same on reddit or a large forum and your post would either be drowned out or someone else would've said the same anyway, only more informative.

geekhack gives me somewhere to spend my downtime when i'm at work waiting on my computer to spit out answers!

I like to tinker with stuff, so I've spent most of my time in the making-stuff-together section, but I'm branching out.  Also, what Vun said...

Demilk. Everyone needs calcium.
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.
