Thank you, you as well ^_^

The real question for this thread is if you get lucky money/red envelopes, what board are you getting with the extra cash?  :p

Don't Ducky skip every second year?

Anyway, Happy Chinese (Lunar) New Year :)
"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

Nope! They have done Dragon, Rabbit, Tiger and I think Ox was first? Snake would be fifth in a row.

They could get a really cool spake effect with backlighting slithering around the keyboard :)

This is pretty big festivities for other countries besides China. If you want to be politically correct, it's lunar new years  ;) .

So I used the internet superlative over 9000...
