A Ghost from the Past :3

Since I was gone for like 10 years, I figured I should post here...

So, what did happen in the keyboard-world since 2015/2016 besides:

- My website being gone, thus most of the images I hosted there (and linked here) are gone
- Cherry MX patent ran out -> Over 9000 different variants of MX-style switches from China
- These little switch quick-swap thingies on PCBs (what to do with my solder iron now!?)
- Transition to gasket-mount keyboards (no more resonance PING! like in the old days...)
- Having more mech-keyboard brands than Filco, Topre, Cherry, IBM, KBC and Razer
- We still can't decide if LEDs should be mounted north or south facing
- Mech-keyboards became mainstream (are we still Geeks?)
- CNC-milled metal keyboard-cases became affordable
- MassDrop became keyboard-centric and bought GH
- You can get custom dye-sub printed keycaps (YUZU)
- Ripster selling his keyboard-collection
- People collecting artisan-keycaps

Did I miss anything good?
Are some of the old users still around?

hiow are you

[TheSoulhunter]

Hey there!

I'm doing good, except for a ongoing health condition, but that's manageable.

Thanks for asking! How about you? How did you end up here?

[finallyDecidedToMakeAnAcc]

Very well thank you very much!!

I was a long long time lurker (I just look at interest checks) then I finally decided to make an account lolz

For the moment most I can do about keyboard stuff is looking at their pictures 

I like electronics

I see...
But what's stopping you from getting hands-on?
Looking at stuff is less exiting than touching it!
Learned that a long time ago, as a teenager...

Hi GHOST, (Can I call you Ghost?)
I read your post and got interested in finding out more about you, seems like you have been around for a while, I am a newbie and been in the Keebs scene for about 1.5yrs now. I'm a designer and keen to learn all things KB.

I'm sensing you have a lot of knowledge so keen to hear more about your KB experiences.

Thanks in advance.
FR.
