Hi all,  looking to get started in the mechanical world.

Just placed an order on Amazon for a POK3R, should get it soon.

I'm a 19 year old CompSci undergrad from the UK, look forward to speaking with you all.

Welcome UK geekhack as a word of advice from one uk GHer to another don't buy ISO right off the bat as your first board as its harder to get keysets for, which I would of wished I knew before :p

Welcome to Geekhack!

Pok3r is a very popular keyboard - a great first choice!

Have you used a 60% keyboard much before?  Might be a bit of a shock how small it looks compared to your typical rubber dome keyboard!

"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
