Title: Greetings and Salutations
Post by: xorian on Mon, 22 June 2015, 16:23:48
I've just started my mechanical keyboard collection with a few used G80s that I cleaned up over the weekend:

I signed up for an ErgoDox EZ, but that won't arrive until the end of the year at the earliest.  Hopefully these will tide me over until then.  I'm also planning to build a USB-to-USB key remapper, probably running TMK, so I can start playing with layers and programmability before then.

I wrote a bit more about myself over on Reddit:

Thanks for reading and Hello!

Welcome to Geekhack!

A nice few boards you got - clears, a gray under space, and a touchpad!  ISO though.  And silly space bar.

The Ergo Dox seems to be popular, but this is a new model to me.  Massdrop had a variation recently.  You will learn patience while waiting for this to be delivered ;)

Patience will serve you well :)

I guess I should have provided a link for the ErgoDox EZ:

It's basically a factory built ErgoDox with a warranty.  Classic design, no real surprises other than the adjustable legs for tenting.

It wasn't too difficult to find :p

I was more curious about the one on Massdrop that had the little LCD screens!
