Gday GH
« on: Sat, 09 May 2015, 03:39:59 »
Gday geekhack!

I've had my K60 for a few years now, and I don't think I've ever been quite satisfied with the mx red switches.
Just a couple days ago I started looking into where mech keyboards are at these days, only to stumble upon this entire custom keycap/mech keyboard building & modding community that I never even knew existed. I'm excited to dive in to some group buys and start blowing my kids' inheritance on some sweet artisan keycaps!

Cheers :)

Thanks guys. It has already begun... After a few late nights comparing a bunch of different keyboards I've jumped on a CM Quickfire Rapid for entree. With a side of custom keycaps to come later. :D

Welcome to Geekhack!

Another Perth member!

I find reds far too light.  Most of my keyboards are MX black or green.  Or buckling spring.

QFR is an excellent keyboard, with the bonus that it has a standard layout, making finding replacement keycaps so much easier (at least as easy as it gets down here).

"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
