South Florida (I loathe this place)
« on: Sun, 29 November 2015, 18:14:48 »
Typing on a Poseidon Z Blue kalih switch board, which is my first mechanical keyboard. I'm already starting to get used to it. I love it, and for $63 it was a steal. Anyways, referred here by my good friend Alexander, looking to keep in a casual loop about all things mechanical keyboards. Looking forward to it :)

Welcome. I live in downtown Miami. It's alright. The terrain is a bit flat for my taste but w/e.

Yeah. But at least there's no depressing sunless days like up north. I take it you're not from here. What brought you to South Florida?

Welcome to Geekhack!

An interesting keyboard, but a non-standard bottom row which will make finding a replacement keycap set somewhat more difficult.

If you want to talk about weather, last week we had 34°C one day, and two nights later a low of 5°C.  To say the temperature down here varies a bit is an understatement :))
"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

Haven't been to South Florida much, but I hate the I-4. At least the roads are in better condition than South Carolina's, even if the drivers are just as bad :P

Welcome!
