hi

Hey everyone,

Finally decided to create an account here. I do most of my lurking on reddit, but having recently become addicted to keyboards I felt it would be neat to see what GH has to offer.

I currently own:
Leopold FC660C (topre)
WASD CODE MX Clear TKless
Rosewill RK-9000 MX Brown

Welcome to gh.

Ever since taking the plunge on the Leopold, I've been hooked on topre. An HHKB will definitely have a place in my home at some point in the future!

Welcome to Geekhack!

A nice range of keyboards, although you have been seduced by Topre already (disclaimer: this was typed on my HHKB).
"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
