Greetings from 'straya
« on: Wed, 28 January 2015, 19:45:04 »
Hi there.

Using Das Keyboard with blues and the volume wheel. The wheel has lost its tactile bumps now sadly.

I thought I was happy with the blues I was typing on, but now I need a hhkb type s (probably the best sound on a keyboard I've ever heard) and a model M for the next step in tactility (or a modded Model F, but that + shipping is crazy expensive)

Wish I got into this when the AUD was stronger than the USD!

Welcome to Geekhack!

It certainly made a difference knowing that you could known a bit off the US price to get the Aussie price back then, but everything back to normal now - multiple by 1.2 or whatever it is these days.  I just Google it like "115USD in AUD" for example.

You can occasionally find Model Ms on eBay (even in Australia!).  I was lucky enough to find an auction for two that was close enough to pickup.

Keep looking, have patience, and one will turn up.

"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
