Hi Forum,
New member and new mechanical keyboard user from Malaysia.
Don't really care much about mechanical keyboards before until I found me some IBM Model M and a WYSE Black Cherry MX (Terminal) keyboard in one of soon to be decommissioned Data Center I work in. Cut story short, I was hooked. And further reading brought me to the poisonous realm of custom keyboard (such a sucker for custom DIY stuffs). Since every search on google brought me here, I figured I register and start learning and join the discussion.
Already bought me a teensy board for the WYSE keyboard. Waiting for it to arrive is the pain now.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays :D

Nice! Doing a soarers mod with the teensy?
-
YES!
First i thought I was going to cut the plate and remove the numpads. But since it's my first keyboard project, with fear of failure i decided to play it safe and preserve the keyboard form factor. Let's try the minor mod first :D

Wellcome to GH, My advice is get HHKB next
-
I seriously had to google that. still learning all these jargon and short forms. I am seriously thinking about shrinking the keyboard size. Will read more about this HHKB.

Welcome to Geekhack!
There is a recommended reading thread (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=68372.0). One of the links therein is the glossary - highly recommended.
I wish I worked in a data centre throwing out keyboards like that :))
