My HHKB is in the mail...so until it arrives...
« on: Sun, 08 February 2015, 14:08:41 »
Hi!

I am new on the scene of Mechanical Keyboards so I hope to learn shed loads from you guys. I hope to piss off as few people as possible and make a few friends along the way, but mostly I hope to get my hands on as many clacks as I can carry. If you are reading this and have any topres you want to sell off, please PM me and I will try and buy them off you.

Until we meet again :p

The HHKB is a great choice. But if you don't want to piss people off I'd recommend not posting a ton about buying everyones clacks. Welcome to GH
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done

The nickname is a good start for pissing people, and getting some friends. Welcome to GH where you will find MX lovers, BS lovers, and some other fauna and flora.

My current philosophy is that if it feels good, buy it. Aside from the crippling debt it is all working out so far...

Welcome to Geekhack!

Go Gromit!

I can imagine Wallace inventing a Topre 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
