Hello Geekhack community!
I am Kraksx, I am 17 and love computers. A couple of summers ago I built my first computer and have been hooked with customizing ever since. I have just now moved on to being interested in keyboards that aren't the standard layout and thus how I stumbled upon this site. My current keyboard is a Corsair K95 and I love it. This weekend I am going to order a Poker II though because I really want to try something new and much much smaller. I am based in Florida in the US and can't wait to know this site better! Also I am a gamer and I mainly play DOTA 2.
Also I am curious how you guys get little keyboard images in your signature, they look really cool and I'd like to do that.

If you want particularly insane layouts in a TKL size, this is good advice. :) Beware that some of the crazy layouts will make it hard to find an appropriate case though, so be sure to do some research or prepare to modify a case. :thumb:

He's referring to the Phantom keyboard, a community-driven TKL keyboard design. More info here (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Phantom).

It does look tantalizing but I'm not sure I know enough about keyboards yet to do that.

If you can solder and ask questions then you would be good. ;) Keyboard soldering is quite simple, as it's typically all through-hole components, so only basic soldering skills are required. And if you have questions, there is a soldering thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42824.0). :thumb:
You don't have to though. I'm just saying it's not as daunting as it may seem. :)

I totally understand and I have soldered stuff before I just wouldn't be that comfortable with it. I think I'm getting a Poker II after my next paycheck so I'm pretty excited for that.
