Title: Hello GH
Post by: Hydra04 on Tue, 23 August 2016, 14:28:24

Hi, I'm italian and I discovered mechs thanks to 4chins.
My passion for this hobby grew reading r/mk... And the months spent in Tokyo convinced me to embrace this money black hole (I also attended the first meetup that Apolotary held there).

I slowly became more familiar with the whole community and then finally started reading the topics in this forum.
Today I decided that it was about time to introduce myself.

For what regards hardware I am still mechless... I actually bought one novatouch but my father needed that more than me.
I am now preparing for a small custom build (40%+) or a golbat. I'm also interested in the fc660 design (a clueboard could be a future target).
Speaking of switches, I love clears. Still, I'd like to try out some zealios.

Ok, I've said even too much, see you around :)


PS: please excuse my english, I usually make tons of mistakes, feel free to correct me

Welcome to Geekhack!

An FC660M with MX clears would be a great keyboard!  Or you could make one yourself, as long as you have a little experience in soldering.

There is the JD40, which was designed by our own Jade Carpe ;) available from TechKeys: http://techkeys.us/collections/accessories/products/jd40

I haven't heard anything bad about Zealios yet.  I'd really like to try them myself as an alternative to MX clears, although I do like my MX clears.  Maybe one day, if I ever get around to building a keyboard ...

I tried to buy 50 zelios with the current GB... But after the 30$ for the shipment and the italian customs I would have paid more than 1.50€ for each switch. I guess I'll stick to clears at 0.65 €.

Welcome!  I fell into keyboards in much the same way.  Enjoy!   :thumb:
