Hola from Argentina
« on: Thu, 05 March 2015, 22:18:13 »
Hello people

I am Gabriel From Argentina.. I have been a keyboard enthusiast for some time now, been reading this forum for a while also, never registered for some reason, but lately my "addiction" have been reaching new levels, so I came here searching for support, LOL.
I started some time ago, on the search for a Model M, The Model M was the first keyboard i touched in my life ( Back on school when a was a kid my first experience with a computer was a IBM XT-286) the sound and feel get stuck in my head for life.

My weapon of choice is the model M, I have one at work, at home and on my gf apartment (she is no amused with it). I like it clicky and tactile :)). Have some newer keyboards which I switch to regularly for gaming or a more quiet experience, MX Blue (K70 and Razor "green" kailh), and some alps clone keyboards, a late fk2001 and a Rosewill rk 6000.

I regularly buy old keyboards for my collection, is not a easy task here in Argentina but im persistent.
I Will post some of my keyboards later. (nothing special really) The most strange example i found here is a unbranded TW keyboard with SMK vintage Clone switches (HTK i guess) a few weeks ago.

PD: Sorry about my english, One of the reasons i have never registered here was because of how horrible i am writing in english.

Best Regards
Gabriel.

Welcome to Geekhack!

It sounds like you have a nice collection!  The trick is to be patient, and eventually all sorts of keyboards will come your way.

And your language is fine :)  I've know a lot of native English speakers who cannot form sentences as well.

On the other hand I do know some foreigners who continually make the same silly mistakes literally transcribing from their native language to English, but by now I automatically translate those in my head as I am reading.

I speak and write in no other language, btw, apart from a few words or phrases here and there.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
