Quick Hello
« on: Mon, 29 December 2014, 06:35:39 »
Hello all!

I put off buying a mechanical keyboard for 3-4 years, until I caved at the start of this month and bought a Ducky Zero Shine TKL (DK2087S).

I really like it! .. and then I saw the Atomic keyboard and thought it would be a good excuse to play around with electronics and microcontrollers, so I bought that too!
Just waiting for a new soldering iron, since the one I bought didn't seem to ever get hot :/ Once it's all done I'll post a thread with pics etc :)

That's it!

Welcome to GH!

You're going to be right at home here!
What soldering iron did you decide to go with?

I originally bought one from Maplins (which didn't work), so I decided to get the Hakko FX888D (from Dancap) that everyone recommends.

Welcome to Geekhack!

That Atomic keyboard looks interesting, I don't think I've heard of that one before.  Now I've got to try to remember about it, as every now and again someone asks about a non-staggered matrix keyboard :))

"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
