Title: Howdy!
Post by: glyakk on Sun, 19 June 2016, 16:52:30

I have had a long time fascination with typewriters and fairly recently realized that you could get the same satisfying sounds from a keyboard. I bought a ducky zero about three years ago and then a CoolerMaster Quickfire TK that I am using as my main board at home. I also picked up a kinesis advantage recently that I use at work. I also bought a Atreus recently and have started assembling it. Its my first time building something like this and I get the feeling I am going to get addicted.

I am also looking at the onehand chording keyboard. It reminds me of 13 or so years ago, the frogpad I could never afford for the car computer I was building at the time.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Sounds like your addiction is well underway :)

If you like the sound of mechanical typewriters, perhaps a Model M or a Model F would better capture the sound.  Or even a beam spring keyboard!

What switches are you using in those keyboard?
