Hello
« on: Sun, 30 December 2012, 05:13:05 »
Hi Geekhakers,
I live in Italy and I'm looking to upgrade my keyboard (CM QFR w/ black) with another TK like Filco or Ducky.

I'm also interested in PBT keycaps but are quite impossible to find with ISO layout, especially white coloured  :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

I think there was another Italian or two who joined recently :)

Filco will be similar to the QFR, Ducky will be almost the same but with backlighting (if you get the backlit model).

All are good, sturdy keyboards.

As for keycaps - the majority (although lately it does seem quite as much so) of Geekhack members seem to originate from the US, or from countries that use the US keyboard layout.  However many group buys also include an ISO set.

Have a browse through the current group buys, you might find something that catches your eye.
"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
