Title: Hello Geekhack
Post by: cwndrws on Tue, 24 February 2015, 12:52:34
Hi!

My name is cwndrws. I am excited about this community. I have had a Razer Black Widow (meh) with blue switches for about 3 years now. I don't really care for it, but it's better than nothing. In March I will be building one or two Plancks depending on how I like them. I am hoping that the PCB's come out soon, so I can scoop a couple up. Does anyone have a Planck? thoughts on them? pics? I'd love to hear others' experiences with the Planck (especially programmers). If there are any other keyboards like the Planck (namely: small, ortholinear), I'd love to look into those as well. I'd also love to hear what other programmers are using. ;D

Welcome to Geekhack!

Haven't heard of the Planck keyboard before, but that's hardly surprising :p

The closest we have around here is the JD40, which has a more conventional staggered layout.

welcome to GH!  I was using an ibm model m (still an awesome board) for years but have recently started using a full size kbt w green switches.  I come from the "louder=better" school of thought

Here is the [Planck](http://planckkeyboard.com/). It's a 40% ortholinear keyboard. I just ordered all the parts to build once with Cherry MX White switches.

Just ordered a bunch of whites for a build, which are apparently exactly like greens just quieter. I have a key switch tester, and they feel pretty much the same.

I saw the link - looks like a neat board, but I'm not sure how well I'd go with the layout, I have been using a more conventional layout for far too long!

Also that has the Granite keycaps in it, in case you you were wondering.
