Hello Geekhack
« on: Tue, 24 February 2015, 12:52:34 »
Hi!

My name is cwndrws. I am excited about this community. I have had a Razer Black Widow (meh) with blue switches for about 3 years now. I don't really care for it, but it's better than nothing. In March I will be building one or two Plancks depending on how I like them. I am hoping that the PCB's come out soon, so I can scoop a couple up. Does anyone have a Planck? thoughts on them? pics? I'd love to hear others' experiences with the Planck (especially programmers). If there are any other keyboards like the Planck (namely: small, ortholinear), I'd love to look into those as well. I'd also love to hear what other programmers are using. ;D

Welcome to Geekhack!

Haven't heard of the Planck keyboard before, but that's hardly surprising :p

The closest we have around here is the JD40, which has a more conventional staggered layout.

"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

welcome to GH!  I was using an ibm model m (still an awesome board) for years but have recently started using a full size kbt w green switches.  I come from the "louder=better" school of thought

Here is the [Planck](http://planckkeyboard.com/). It's a 40% ortholinear keyboard. I just ordered all the parts to build once with Cherry MX White switches.

Just ordered a bunch of whites for a build, which are apparently exactly like greens just quieter. I have a key switch tester, and they feel pretty much the same.

I saw the link - looks like a neat board, but I'm not sure how well I'd go with the layout, I have been using a more conventional layout for far too long!

Also that has the Granite keycaps in it, in case you you were wondering.
