Hey Guys
« on: Fri, 12 June 2015, 04:00:02 »
I have recently fallen down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole. After waiting far too long for the Das Keyboard 4 to be restocked in the UK, I ended up going for the Filco Majestouch Ninja 2 (Cherry Blue with a red Escape key).

I have been using MS Natural keyboards for almost 20 years, so it's a bit of an adjustment.

If MS made that keyboard shape with cherry blues, I would be all over it.

I use Macs home. Feeling disappointed that DAS don't seem to do a Mac UK layout (also what's with the Greetech keys?)

Cheers
Allan

Welcome to Geekhack!

I was going to link the Ergo 4000 build thread, but infiniti beat me to it :))

If you have sufficient determination, there's not much you can't do with a 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
