Greetings!
« on: Fri, 18 March 2016, 22:56:46 »
Hey guys,

Joined up a couple weeks ago, thought I'd make a proper introduction. I found this place through r/mk and lurked in Making Stuff Together section for a while reading up on a bunch hand wiring info then decided to register so I could enter some artisan raffles and was pleasantly surprised by the awesomeness of this community. :thumb:

I'm currently still using my first mech a Tesoro Excalibur Spectrum with Kailh Reds and am currently waiting on a GB from reddit for a Bantam-44 kit (a 40% hand-wired kb very similar to the Quark) and some Gateron browns from Massdrop. I plan to get a 60% out of the remaining  switches but haven't made any decisions on what kinda kit/plate I should get yet or even if I'm gonna go hand wired or pcb, anybody got recomendations?

Thanks for reading! I'm sure it will be fun getting to know all of you! :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

You could wait for the Bantam-44 and do the hand-wiring, then see how you feel about it.

If you love hand-wiring, then by all means go for a 60% hand-wired, but if you'd prefer to solder switches into a PCB which has been pre-drilled, then go that way ;)

"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
