Title: Hi
Post by: maroder on Thu, 16 July 2015, 02:16:43
Just wanted to introduce myself. I am a long time lurker and finally registered, as I only recently switched to a mechanical keyboard. I previously never thought a keyboard could get me so enthusiastic, but I just love typing on it and now have the itching urge to customize it ;D

Great place and great information here. Thanks for that.

Cheers,
Maroder

Welcome to Geekhack!

It's amazing how deep the keyboard rabbit hole is when you start looking ;)

Which keyboard did you get?

I got the Pok3r ISO (DE) with MX Clears - loving it so far although I have to get used to having no arrow keys on the right side ;D

Haha, I'm already looking for the Granite keycap set. Never thought I would find plastic so exciting.

Solid switch choice and I just picked up a HHKB so I feel your pain in getting used to no arrow keys. I think everyone feels that same way about plastic here!

An excellent choice!

With just a little care, that keyboard should last you for many years :)

And it is a standard layout too, so keycap replacement should be a breeze.  That is, assuming it is standard ANSI layout, or maybe you got an ISO one?  ISO it a bit more difficult to find matching keysets as there are many ISO variations and not every keyset caters for every variation.
