So I could spam to 60 posts and use the Classified like half the people come here to do :p

The better question is, why did we stay ;)

EDIT: Actually signed up to ask a question about a tenkey I found which turned out to be a G80-3700.

"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

I signed up to post yet another "what keyboard should I get" thread... Yeah, not the most glorious entry. Since then I've stuck around, regurgitated some of the keyboard knowledge I've soaked up and mostly been hanging out in the input devices forum trying to keep facts about mice straight.
Hopefully I've managed to be of help to someone.

I lurked on geekheekhack for a few weeks before i signed up to do research on HHKB owners, most likely right after all the mess happened. Signed up to make a retarded post, most likely drunk and super angry at the time, that I switched keyboards and got a HHKB. Though i regret the first few posts i made on geekhack, i def don't regret signing up.

I searched for "best keyboard" on Google and this was one of the top choices.

Started reading and it turned out to be far a more complex and interesting field than I thought.

Bought a Model M within a week.
