Greeting from Finland!
« on: Sun, 05 October 2014, 04:03:04 »
Hello everybody!
I just ordered Gigabyte Aivia Osmium mechanical with MX brown switches and white back lightning. My first mechanical. The Osmium was relatively cheap and had volume control wheel and back lights so it was the winner. I'm currently using my loyal MS/Razer Reclusa, which also has volume wheel. I've wanted a mechanical keyboard for a long time, but only now they've become accessible to me in supply and price or money vise.
As a future rock star (bassist) I do some recordings at home so the volume wheel is pretty much essential to get a good balance of sound levels easily. I do have a backup plan of becoming mechanical engineer, 4th (last?) year in studies. I'm also a 3D-printer hobbyist and owner wannabe, so I'm going to get one when I get the money for a decent one (key caps!).

I'm concerned that on top of GAS (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome) I will get KAS.

Welcome to Geekhack!

KAS could apply to keyboard acquisition syndrome, or keycap acquisition syndrome.

Both are equally as addictive and dangerous ;)
"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
