Title: New to the forum, hey guys!
Post by: moshimalloe on Sat, 15 August 2015, 21:39:02
Hi all, after stalking the threads here for awhile, I've finally decided to make my own account.

I got into keyboards after my boyfriend got me a Poker 2 and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I am currently pretty jealous of his HHKB.

Hope to meet other keyboard enthusiasts!

I've added a picture of my current baby. What keyboard should I try next?

Did your man-friend flip your spacebar for you, or did you elect to embrace the angular thumb-stick?

Haha I elected to embrace the angular thumb-stick myself. It was actually how my Poker came, and I tried switching it back to normal one time and didn't like it as much.

Normal spacebar peasants! jk jk.

It's because they're all part of that crazy spacebar-flipping cult.  >:D

It only works if you truly believe in the enjoy of feels.  True feels guide us all.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Tai Hao Miami - nice :)

What to try next - maybe an HHKB of your own?  although customisation options are much more limited, at least not without a fair bit of effort to replace the sliders.

Otherwise are you enjoying the 60% size keyboard?  Missing the arrow keys?  Maybe a TKL (tenkeyless) keyboard is for you - there are many options available, with and without backlighting.

Hehe, I've come a long way from here but let's just say I have an HHKB-related surprise coming in a few weeks

Welcome to Geekhack! I'm loving my Pok3r so far but have been itching to try Topre :3

As for your next keyboard let's be honest - you and your boyfriend are gonna want to have matching HHKBs  :p

Naturally :3 Hehe, I'm working on it.

Only dilemma is I don't really like the print on the printed caps, but also, I can't touch type :( Which is why Novatouch for now.

Welcome :)

Definitely think about getting a custom USB cable, would tie the package up together nicely!

I got one from Pexon PC's recently, my board at the moment has the same caps, might have to get rid of the weird coating on them though.

Hmmm that is a dilemma. Maybe you could consider a Duck Viper: (http://imgur.com/a/aBhZM)

They're made with the same layout as the HHKB but are MX compatible so you can go nuts with custom keycaps. I think the group buy has ended, but you might be able to find one in the Classifieds section with a little bit of luck.

Here was the original group buy: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=61227.0 for $220 USD (but it looks like some assembly was required?). I'm new here myself so someone else could probably give you a better estimate on what you could get for a complete board off another member.

Looks like there is going to be a round 2 though!

Not much of a surprise if you already know about it :p

Until I wrote a simple GB tracking system, I used to completely forget about what I had ordered, and occasionally did get something I had no idea what it was :))

HHKB can be customized  if you spend a lot of time effort and money LOL!
