Which would you buy?
« on: Sun, 21 July 2013, 17:41:41 »
Lusting over the Korean keyboards. There is a KMAC LE, KMAC 1.2, and an LZ-MX mini. Which would you rather buy and why? I'm leaning toward the LZ-MX mini but if there was a KMAC mini floating around I might change my mind. Opinions please?

Every keyboard he listed makes (almost) every topre look cheap. I don't think money is the reason he's getting a cherry.

cherry makes a keyboard feel cheap :P realforce keyboards are housed in plastic but they feel very sturdy. heck, the standard of sturdiness is an IBM model M and those can be had for $20.
 hhkb with a plastic case might not feel as heavy as a metal plate keyboard but it still feels solid and works fine.
that said the 356mini with cherry doubleshots is pretty sleek :)

Now a model f, beam spring, or old hall effect board is the definition of a sturdy keyboard.

Yes I actually live on the east side. I will give you my cell and text or call me sometime. I really want to see the KMAC. I'm too ignorant on some of these boards and already have spent too much money.

High quality?

"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
