Hey :)
« on: Thu, 05 March 2015, 19:51:23 »
Hi everybody! A buddy of mine at work let me type on his Corsair K95 and it opened up my eyes to the world of mechanical keyboards. I don't have one yet but I joined the Infinity MassDrop and am really considering the Lightsaver V2 gb. Let the money and time wasting on this forum begin :thumb:

Great idea! Honestly, skipping straight to the top tier korean customs like the Lightsaver is the way to go. You end up wasting a lot less money! And welcome to geekhack!  :thumb:

agreed, but OP will need to learn more about what the assembly process entails before he can put it together. took me a decent chunk of time learning about keycaps, switches, springs/stabilizers, all that good stuff. what switches did your coworker have? there's an ongoing Gateron GB winding down, consider grabbing 100x for your kool kustom board. they're supposedly the best thing since sliced bread, and i can't wait to get my batch

hope you enjoy your stay!

Welcome to Geekhack!

You have no idea how much time and money you will lose on this forum :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
