Finally!!
« on: Fri, 28 September 2012, 14:47:34 »
Hello GH!

So I've been forum lurking for a while now and decided that I would finally join the community. I actually just purchased my first mechanical keyboard last week (Ducky YOTD Browns), and Im already hooked! Looking to purchase a second one to leave at work and start looking into custom keycaps.

Anyway, just wanted to make my first post here and introduce myself as I'm sure I will pop up here and there. :)

Welcome to GH!

YOTD is a beautiful board to start with!

And as always, RIP your wallet :p

Yeah no kidding! I have no regrets about it though. Wondering how I went so long without a mechanical board now that I have one.

Welcome to Geekhack!

YOTD with yellow backlighting - I so wanted that one but couldn't justify the expense on a fourth keyboard in such a short time (not counting a few key caps too).
"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

Yea.... I know I wanted the brown switches, but the yellow LEDs was icing on the cake. :)

YOTD was all about the reds with purple LEDs.

Yea I figured I should since I'm sure I will want in on some group buys eventually.

Yea, if I could have gotten browns with purple LEDs, I probably would have.
