Konichiwa GH!
« on: Sat, 27 December 2014, 09:35:27 »
Nice to meet you all!

I've been a happy mechanical keyboard typist for about 3 years now. I got my first Qpad MK-50 with Cherry Brown MX switches back in January 2012, which I really enjoyed.

About 2 weeks ago I got myself another keyboard: a Ducky Shine 3 DK9008 with Blue switches. In terms of wpm I don't notice any differences, I like both.

So then I went looking for nice keycaps, which seemed rather hard to get where I live. I stumbled upon massdrop.com during the bazaar and scored some nice sets.

I've been a lurker for a while, and found out I've been late to all interesting group buys. Last night however, I've decided to get the SPRiT 60% PCB kit!

I'm looking forward to working on it, and I believe I'll end up on GH for quite some questions during the process !

Besides my sudden interest of keyboards, I love to work with linux (I'm a sysadmin), and love 80's boomboxes  ;D

Welcome to GH!
ようこそ!!! GHへ!

If you hadn't realized yet this is also known as "wallet hack" but judging by your SPRiT purchase you're already aware of that XD

Welcome to Geekhack!

There's lots of information from all sorts of people here about all sorts of keyboards - please feel free to ask :)
"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
