Title: click clack the witch is dead
Post by: paarth on Sun, 14 July 2013, 09:58:29
Hello!

I'm a long-time lurker, now deciding to join and start posting. I've been using a das that I got as a birthday present for years now and I'm finally buying more keyboards. I'm planning on getting a KBC poker 2 with browns from one of your lovely members (QTan) that I'll be using for work where I'm a "Technical Consultant" (read: does everything).

I'm extremely interested in building my own 60% keyboard with a teensy 3 or some other micro board. I've got some basic electronics experience from highschool (with breadboards, soldering and whatnot) and can do mathy circuit diagrams. I first heard about this place from ripster and I've been coming around every so often to read up on your exploits and look at all the pretty keyboards.

My personal keyboard aesthetic  goes toward clean, modern, and minimalistic designs. As cool as the skull keycaps are I'm afraid I don't see myself using them very often. I'd be too afraid of wearing them down and I doubt they'd fit well with what I want to do to my boards. I've been pretty inspired by matt3o's posts on his custom projects.

I was born in Amritsar. In the U.S. now, though.

Seems like you'll like our in-house GH60. Basically choose your kit and assemble it yourself to however you like. GH is over though, so you'll have to find someone willing to sell their stuff when they're ready to ship.

I saw that! The GH60 looked super cool. I was disappointed that I didn't see it until a week after it was over. Here's hoping something else like that happens soon!

Theory proved. If you put the words click clack in the title of a thread I will always click on it.

Welcome to GH  :llama:

I got baited as well :C.

I thought a numpad was usually a good thing to have for most consultants, or do you have a financial calculator for that ^^
