Ok, not really DC, but who wants to write Northern Virginia in the subject/title...
I should also point out that I'm not completley new. I created my account and have been lurking around for about a year but I never posted in here. Better late than never?
I found geekhack when I was trying to find a way to make a personalized keypad for gaming that was exactly what I wanted (I've always like the numpad layout vs WASD/ESDF). I found the original Dox KB thread and used his design as a basis to build my own little thing using a Teensy 2.0 and some Cherry MX Blues.
I've been typing on Model Ms for quite some time and I've acquired 9 of them ranging from 1986 to 1997 (median 1989). I think the most expensive ones were $1.99 (found in a sale bucket at MicroCenter) and I feel pretty lucky about that, but after building that gamepad thing I found myself attracted to alternative form factors. In the last few months I picked up a Pure with Browns, and a Race with Blues. The Browns are ok, I like the tactile response from the Blues better. I haven't tried Greens yet.
Right now I'm looking forward to the GH60 and putting my ErgoDox together whenever it arrives. Now I just need to find a good TKL... and perhaps an additional source of income.
