Hello!
« on: Tue, 25 December 2012, 07:01:47 »
Hey, I'm new in GH and new to mechanical keyboards, well... I'm currently getting my first one, so I'm really a newbie when it comes to mechanical keyboards.

I'm from Helsinki, Finland, and looking to learn more about mechanical keyboards through Geekhack.

Oh, Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas to you too, and happy holidays!

Well, I'm planning on getting a tenkeyless, that's for sure, I think something along the lines of CM storm QFR or KBT race.

Welcome to Geekhack!

A QFR is a very good, solid, reliable keyboard.  Excessive branding seems to be the main complaint.  Unfortunately based on your location you will probably end up with one with branding, however if you replace the keycaps then there is only two logos left on the keyboard.  Not too much :)
"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
