Title: New around here
Post by: luisbg on Fri, 16 May 2014, 10:38:14

Hi everybody.

I'm Luis, an open source developer. Linux, GStreamer, Firefox, fun stuff.
Spend all day typing in terminals and emacs (tmux/fish/multi-term). So the enjoyment of a keyboard is high priority for me.

Just purchased a Leopold FC660M from qtan. Can't wait to have it. Brown switches, black body and clear white key set.

Where could I get a wire key puller? Going to need one soon. I am curently living in Montreal, Canada.

Have been reading around in geekhack and this place is awesome. Keep it up!

There are a lot of places that carry wire keycap pullers. These were the first two that came to mind.

This one is better than those other ones, in my honest opinion. The grip is nicer, shaped to your fingers, and the wire is shaped better.

Thanks!!!
It's Swamp Thing. My favorite character of the DC Universe. Read Alan Moore's run of his series and you will know why  :)
