Hello from New York......
« on: Sat, 30 April 2016, 21:00:57 »
Hello everyone blackriver here, I absolutely love mechanical keyboards as i am sure everyone here does. I really want to get into the custom keyboard world as I have only had more mainstream models at the moment i.e. a Blackwidow (Uck*) and currently a Corsair RGB K65. I really want to build up a 60% with some cherry blues or browns. I look forward to chatting on here and learning as best I can. Also if anyone has had a good experience with a particular 60% model I would love to hear about it.

Cheers -blackriver

I love the 60% layout, it is by far my favorite.  My keyboard of choice is the HHKB.  If you decide to venture down the Topre path, you should absolutely check it out.

Be sure to read over the site TOS when you get a chance.

Welcome to Geekhack!

I have one 60% keyboard - an HHKB :)

Not quite a keyboard that you build yourself though, although the GH60 is.

It does appear as if order have been long closed, but you might be able to pickup someone's order if they have changed their mind.

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 :)

If you're going MX compatible I'd highly recommend the B. Face X2 from winkeyless.kr.
I've had a few, fully programmable + RGB case lighting if you're into that.

HHKB will be the board you want if not MX compatible :-*

There's no rush - you'll get there eventually though, most people do ;)
