Title: Hi! Long time lurker!
Post by: 1swt2gs on Sat, 24 October 2015, 12:21:49
Hey there GH!

I have been a long time lurker of GH , mainly come to check the classifieds and check out the artisans page.

Recently I have really got into artisans and keyboards! I currently own 6 boards and have begun collecting artisans so decided to get myself more involved in the GH community!

Heres a picture of my favorite board!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Poker?  Nice :)  The keycaps suit it.  And the Gas Mask - fits in really well with the theme.

Thanks! That's what I was going for. I since have collected a bunch (2 more) trans masks. Trying to grow my gas mask collection!

Damn, nice keyboard! I've been starting to collect artisans as well - I like your idea of trying to collect one type :P definitely would make it easier to resist entering every sale/raffle!

I tried to collect Gas Masks for a while - I missed the original black ones with red or green eyes, but actually managed to keep up for a little while.

I'm way behind now with my collection.  I don't even have any G2s!

I love how the G2 looks. The mouth part looks a lot cleaner than the 6 holes on the G1. However, just picked up my first G1 (orange translucent). It should be coming in the mail tomorrow!

Welcome! I love the clean look of your board. How do you like those Ducky PBT caps? Max Keyboard just released a new PBT set with a good thickness that I think I'm gonna give a try!

I'm a long time lurker too - I made this account but haven't used it much - it's hard to get involved when I don't want to mess people up by posting in the wrong area(s) or something.

I've got 4 boards now though, so you're a bit ahead! Haha

Welcome!

Hahahh, I'll avoid it like the plague if I can.

Honestly am looking to try Torpe one day, but I don't think I want to have two different platforms (for lack of a better word).

That's because you haven't felt a topre board. Then you'll see mx is nothing but hype.

TOPRE FOR LIFE. HHKB GANG. 55G SQUAD.

What Topre board would you recommend for someone who is looking to get into the Topre world?

Want a normal lay out? 55g RF. Easily the best out of the box switch ever. Hell, the whole package is perfect. Pbt caps, ctrl/caps swappable and tkl format.

Want a great 60% layout? Hhkb. 45g is not as great as 55g but it's still good and the layout of it makes up for it imo.

You never tried buckling spring and avoid it like the plague?  More for me!

I love the layout of my poker II , and think I would love the layout of the HHKB. However, I don't know if I want to switch between layouts.

Two different switches?  It's great for sales - you can enter for any keycap type and kave a keyboard to fit them on!
