Title: Hi guyss!
Post by: Happylomo on Sun, 12 July 2015, 02:48:49
Hi everyone, this is my first post, since i've registered in GH on 2013  ;D

Yeah, I am a silent member of this community, but now i decided to be more active in this forum.
There's gotta be an end in leeching from the community, and start to contribute, right?

In 2013, I thought my apple scissors keyboard was the best keyboard in the world. Then i found this forum..
It led me to my first mechanical keyboard QFR TKL.

So, big big thanks for introducing me to the world of mechanical keyboards!
Or maybe i shouldn't? Coz GH also "forced" me buy a HHKB, recently; and i don't think it will stop there.  :p

Anyways, I'm glad to be part of this community!

Welcome! :D How you loving your HHKB? I bought mine just a few weeks ago as well, and it's growing on me so much that I want to get one for my SO. Haha. :thumb:

Thanks temence! Man, i really love my HHKB (mine is a hhkb pro jp). Feels so much better than my QFR TKL with MX reds.
Especially because of the control key position at the normal capslock key on normal keyboards.
Gahh, I wish topres are compatible with mx caps.

Hahha, yeah, i've been telling my friends to get a hhkb for their next keyboard.  ;D

I love the ctrl key location so much that I have it set on my other keyboards like that too!

Also, Topres CAN be mx compatible! :D Just requires a bit of modding, but I say it's worth it if you have a really sweet MX artisan. You just have to get one of these (https://www.shapeways.com/product/T69XQA4Q3/topre-to-mx-slider-v2-0beta?li=search-results-1&optionId=43194108) and replace the stem on the key that you wanna use MX :) So you've got a Topre Switch with an MX keycap!

See, this is what i hate about GH. Everyone, or everything, seems to find a way to dig into my wallet. :mad:

Lol, thanks for the info, temence! :thumb:
Need to wait a little while for that though. Just updated my jp keys into ANSI.

Haha, you know it. I was building a custom computer before I got into keyboards thinking it would save on a pre-built one. Now I think I've spent more on keyboards alone than the whole custom computer.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Apart from the Shapeways slider linked above, JT Keycaps (https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=46028) is producing sets of them, probably going to be sold through [CTRL]ALT (https://ctrlalt.io/) at some stage (once the initial group buy (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=71630.0) has finished).
