Looong time lurker
« on: Sun, 01 November 2015, 07:12:27 »
Just wanted to claim my seat here, finally! I bought a Filco Majestouch back in 2010 (I think from EK?) with blues on a whim, used it for a little while, then put it back in the box for a while. Signed up here in 2011 but then went to Korea for 3 years and kinda forgot about the site and mechs in general.

I only recently got back to the US and needed a new keyboard for work and settled on a WASD CODE w/ clears. Amazing board that got me back into the scene. Found /mk and started reading up there about other wild custom items like keycaps, cases, leds, cables, and wtf even little amazing, artisan keys? Then I remembered this place and went to make an account and was surprised...

In the past month I've bought a new V2 w/ browns for home and my keyset progression is getting more and more insane[ly expensive!!!!].

  • Royal Kludge ABS
  • Vortex PBT
  • Carbon Black
  • GMK Charred Orange

Then I stumbled into the GB/Artisan section here...
  • GMK Hyperfuse
  • WoB Design Series
  • GMK SKIDATA+

Very eager to get my first artisan! And can't wait to compare SKIDATA to Charred Orange, but that's a while away still...

Also hopeful for a New England (Boston) meet up someday!

Anyways, Hi!

How can one spend 3 years in Korea and forget about mech? That is mech mecca! You probably could have scored a few Korean customs! Anyway, welcome to Geekhack!

Welcome!  Who did you like Korea?  I am actually wishing I knew something there as it seems exporting form Korea is 2x the price of Japan.

Welcome to Geekhack!

I think you've just set a new record between joining and first post :))

I have a CODE with clears - great keyboard!  About the only keyboard I don't bottom out all the time.

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

I think we're all kicking ourselves over things we missed before finding out about mechanical keyboards etc.
