Pittsburgh new guy
« on: Wed, 17 December 2014, 21:06:03 »
Hi, I had to join because I find myself quite drawn to keyboards anymore. It doesn't help that I see Jixr and many others on OCN (you can find me over there with the same screen name) showing off their boards every month.  ;D

My current setups:
steelseries 6Gv2 w/Cherry MX Reds
Razer Orbweaver Stealth w/Cherry MX Browns

On the way:
Poker 2, black w/Cherry MX Browns

Thanks! I figured this was my next money drain adventure in the world of PCs.

Welcome to Geekhack!

You are correct if you believe that this hobby can drain all your funds - although maybe you don't know quite how easily that will happen :p
"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

Edgewood/Swissvale area! Nice to see another Pittsburgher on here!

I definitely will! There have been quite a few impressive boards that I've stumbled upon on here.

I completely know what you mean. I decided to watercool my PC with acrylic tubing, along with all kinds of case modding, and other things. With that said, the PC I built last year ended up with only the CPU, SSD, and HDD being reused with everything else being replaced. Not at all what I expected to do!
