Title: What do the GH Elite Use?
Post by: smknjoe on Tue, 15 May 2012, 12:48:27: What do you, the GeekHack royalty, use as your daily driver? What's your second or third favorite? I'm asking you (in no particular order) iMav, Keyboardlover, Ripster, Reaper, and all of the other GH elite with a thousand posts or more.

Post by: reaper on Tue, 15 May 2012, 23:59:19: I've never considered myself one of GH Elites but thanks for putting me up there. =P Right now my daily driver is the KMAC (you can find more info here (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:29324)) and I'm alternating that with another board I got from Seoul called HHMX (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?28673-A-bunch-of-new-stuff-custom-acrylic-board-amp-Milestone-TKL-wristrest), both with Cherry MX black btw.

Post by: alaricljs on Thu, 17 May 2012, 10:54:43: I use a Filco 87 w/ browns and Ducky PBT caps (printed). I was hoping to get this changed soon, but WASD's issues w/ PBT caps is delaying things :( I want to do a custom 87 key with his caps but it's gotta be PBT.

Please stay ON TOPIC!

Thanks.

That's the ripster I know! Flaunting that elite status haha.

In all honesty, the OP should re-title this thread to "What do the GH users who've used over 10 different keyboards use?"

I hope by that point, they're just collecting them though...

I see your point. I guess we could round up if it's close to a thousand. Personally, I have 5 boards with 5 different switches and another kb in the mail, but I'm still a total noob.

I think anyone with a thousand posts:
1. Is probably serious about their keyboard hobby.
2. Has probably tried just about every switch currently available.

You can push a lot of post in the GB section trying to get more keycaps.

Well, not Ducky 1000 series. 9000 series has up and downs. For the record, I am buying a Ducky Dragon Year Edition. I am not completely anti Ducky as you may believe I am.
As for my favorite... I like the typing feel on my G80-1800 in blue, and I like the layout. If I had to pick only 1, it would be this. That said, I do own more Filcos than I like to admit and been using them for the most part for the past 6 months or so. I like the slightly less hard feel of PCB mount, but platemount is more resistant to stupidity in keypulling and Costar stabilizers are just superior.

Post by: Quarzac on Thu, 17 May 2012, 14:33:15: I'm using my G80-3000 now, though I'm a fan of my Model M. I also have a Focus FK2001 that my sister uses, which I equally enjoy typing on.
Title: What do the GH Elite Use?
Post by: dorkvader on Thu, 17 May 2012, 22:38:26: I have been using my unicomp customizer for some time now. Once I get another mcmaster order in, I'll bolt mod it, too.
In front of my other "non work" computer, I have a Cmstorm in red, though I'm considering changing it out for a CMstorm in blue.

Once I get a computer with windows and a PS2 port, I'll program my access-IS keyboards, and switch to them on the "non work" computer, so I can turn one sideways to use as a gaming keyboard.

Unfortunately at work, I'm forced to use a RD, though I did try them all and take the best one in the office. They are all old, and terrible. They won't let me bring in one of my own to use (I'd probably take the WYSE PCE in, 'cause it's quiet, that or the olivetti RD)
