Hi there
« on: Wed, 11 February 2015, 15:57:41 »
Hello all,

I've been using a mechanical board for a few years now but in helping my friend find one for himself I was opened to the world of customization and new products that were not around when I initially got mine. Looking forward to seeing where my time here takes me.

Hello there and welcome to Geekhack! There is definitely a lot of customization you can do to your keyboards. Happy hunting and let me know if you have any questions I can try to answer!  :))

Welcome to Geekhack!

Which keyboard have you got, and how long have you had it?

Mechanical keyboards have been around for decades, but until recently there wasn't that much customisation options available.  I'd guess that now consumers have got their hot sweaty hands on the mechanical keyboards the manufacturers are coming up with new ways to entice us to buy their keyboards and accessories.

They might be right ;)

"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
