Why hello there!
« on: Thu, 02 October 2014, 22:58:27 »
Hey Geekhack! I'm a looong time lurker (circa 2012, I think) and am now just posting. Started out with a QFR blues, then took a trip to Japan and couldn't resist picking up a HHKB2 while I was there. I've been hooked ever since. Since then, I've picked up a Code w/ Clears and have a Poker 2 and ErgoDox on the way via Massdrop.

Pretty sure I've settled as far as boards go for a while, perhaps even getting rid of a few, but we'll see (my SO is convinced I have a kb hoarding issue). Just wanted to finally say a friendly hello to the community that's taught me so much over the years :)

Welcome to Geekhack!

5 keyboards is not hoarding.  50 keyboards is hoarding :p

Although admittedly I've gotten rid of a lot recently, and I feel much better now.
"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
