Hi from Sydney, Australia
« on: Tue, 19 April 2016, 19:24:07 »
Gentle folks,

Hi from Sydney. I started with a Filco ninja mechanical keyboard and am now exploring other mechanical keyboards (so that I can have one for work and one for gaming).

Can't customise my work one much, but will be looking to pimp my gaming one with key caps etc.

See you all around!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Filco is a great solid board to start with.  These days there are more keyboard with a solid and reliable feel like the Filco, but a few years ago the FIlco was the keyboard of choice.

What switches have you got in it?

Also there's talk of a second Sydney meetup.  A great opportunity to have a few beers and try a few different keyboards.  Oh, and to meet some of the other members!

"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

Welcome! I am an advocate of building your own keyboard leaves a lot of room for customization. Also the designs of the PCBs and layouts are open hardware so they are available freely too.0
