Hello Geekhack Community!
« on: Thu, 19 November 2015, 14:23:54 »
Hey guys,
I'm a 20 year old student from Austria attending university (business).
I have a quite big interest in anime (as you can probably tell from my avatar), all kinds of music and of course computers and their peripherals.
Geekhack is not a new site to me, I've visited it previously when reading up on information to assist me with my purchase decisions for keyboards.
However until now I did not see a reason to register, or to tell the truth I was quite lazy :P
However I'm really looking forward to be part of the community and maybe also contribute something every once in a while.
If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!   :D

Do you talk like Arnold Schwarzenegger? Because I read your post in his accent.

Thank you, and unfortunately I have only watched the first GTS movie so far, I do plan however on continuing the series, since it was a great movie. :)

And no, unfortunately I don't, I can see however why you would do that :p

Welcome to Geekhack!

Was the Novatouch the keyboard you ended up purchasing?  What do you think of it so far?
"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

Thank you and yes I already owned the Novatouch when I created the thread, but I'm debating returning it and ordering a 30g Realforce from Japan  :)

30g RealForces are quite rare, not many people post about them, although the occasional query comes up.

If you do get one, you'll have to post some pictures and maybe even a brief review.
