Title: Hallo!
Post by: jeroentbt on Wed, 29 January 2014, 03:14:57

Hi,

I've never owned a mechanical keyboard before.
I was looking in to buying one and found the CODE keyboard (by WASD). Interest peeked but no stock.
And then they announced a new version with Cherry MX greens. Time to find out what the difference between those switches actually is. WHAT? Even more different switches. What a f*cking timesink. ;)

So there I was googling stuff, ordered a test set from WASD, googling some more and found out about the ErgoDox.

I was sold.

More googling and I found this crazy corner of the internet where (also crazy?) people do nothing but go on about their keyboards, switches, caps, ... And where one good soul was offering a kit for ErgoDox (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=50040.msg1208809#msg1208809).

In the process of ordering and wasting time finding a nice keycap set to go with it :)
Please help me out :) http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=54051.0

Read you soon.

Cheers,
Jeroen

Would you recommend buying a test kit, for a fellow confused GeekHacker?
Welcome, also!

I liked (and still do) the test kit.
It gives an idea at least. Beats going blind if you have no nerd friends to test different switches.

Sorry for the late reply
