Pimp my keyboard
« on: Tue, 28 July 2015, 08:55:13 »
Hi guys
So im going to get a gaming pc by christmas but I want to get a cheap keyboard, like 5 euros or something, because most of my budget will go into the pc itself.
Is it possible to make some mods to a 5€ keyboard , making it better in terms of use ?

The mod is called "saving", in order to do that you keep money on the side. After a while you'll have enough money to buy a decent keyboard.

Alternatively, there is "searching" and with diligence and patience you might get lucky. 2nd-hand and salvage shops are a good place to start.

Perfect response.

I expect these sorts of questions/threads on something like 4chan, but GH?

Or look through dumpsters and/or thrift shops in your area - you might get lucky.

"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

No we have been the rude ones.

This forum is generally not using rubberdome nor modding it.

Maybe there's mod for it but never heard of it. hence the advice to save money.

I agree, though spending 5€ isn't really much if you think about how the keyboard and mouse will be your main sources of interaction with the PC. I'd advise saving for a good keyboard. Just get a cheap one for now.
