Hello:)
« on: Mon, 10 December 2012, 09:40:16 »
 Hello Geekhack:)
So mechanical keyboards have got me really interested lately:)
When my old Logitech G15 i wanted a mechanical and that lead me to this forum:).
So fare i have 2 IBM model M from 1997,1998 but on a quest for a older one:). Really happy with how the buckling spring feels and a lot different from what i'm used to:)

That's its all for now:D

PS i'm for Europe:)

Sometimes it's like he accidentally makes a thread instead of a google search.

Hey, how's it going over there? Welcome to GeekHack!

You probably have the exact same story as the rest of us.  Glad you found this site.  I must warn you that this can get addictive...and expensive.  But, I would like to add that it's all worth it in the end :)

Feel free to browse around and ask any questions you may have.  A lot of people on this site are very friendly and knowledgeable.  Many are vendors as well, so you can get to personally meet some of the custom key cap producers in the industry.  :)

Thanks!.
I've had a look on the bolt mod guide and a bit on the wiki:).
It's going great in Europe,just started snowing. Running dangerously low on model M's though.
I'll post my "noob questions" for sure when they pop up in my memory once in a while:D

Welcome to Geekhack!

Model M is quite a popular keyboard around here - you are amongst friends :)
"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
