Hello!
« on: Mon, 28 January 2013, 23:18:43 »
Hi everyone,

I'm a hardware and software nerd, and I've wound up on this forum several times over the last few years. I appreciate nice keyboards, but I've never plunked down cash for a truly fancy one.. I grew up with Apple's alps keyboards, but now (I hate to say it) everything I own is membrane-based. Ack!

Anyway, I've been thinking about a project and I'm hoping I can pick some brains here. I'll start another thread for that; just sayin' "hi" here.

matias makes the modern incarnation of the apple extended keyboards you used to love so much.. he even has a new version that gets rid of the clacky noise but keeps the clicky feel!

just saying :)

"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
