Hello all at GH
« on: Fri, 08 January 2016, 21:22:20 »
Hi, new member here, I have been lurking for a few weeks now, and I have decided to start posting like so many others. I am from the US.

I have been a fan of mechanical keyboards for a while. I got my start a few years back with a Deck keyboard, that was my only mech for a while. Then I started accumulating more. And the rest is history.

I hope I can contribute to thIs community, more so, one that is already filled with many knowledge members. It is sometimes daunting to find something else to add.

Maybe I can contribute by putting my hat into some of the GBs :).

Thank you for reading.

Howdy mate!

Pleasure to see a new guy in the playground.

Have fun.

Welcome to Geekhack!

There's always something that can be contributed.  If you have experience with a number of keyboards perhaps you can write reviews on them, or answer queries about them.

What keyboards have you got, by the way?
"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

What switches have you got in those?

Any custom keycaps?

My humble keyboard collection is listed in my signature, but if you have turned signatures off (as I have) then it is as follows:

NEC APC-H4100E
Ducky DK9008 Shine MX blue LED red
Ducky DK9008 Shine MX blue LED green
Link 900243-08
CM QFR MX black
KeyCool 87 white MX reds
HHKB 2 Pro
Model M 02-Mar-1993
Model M 29-Nov-1995
CM Trigger (broken)
CM QFS MX green
Ducky DK9087 Shine 3 TKL Yellow Edition MX black
Lexmark SSK 21-Apr-1994
IBM SSK 13-Oct-1987
CODE TKL MX clear
Model M 122 01-Jun-1988

Er, I think that's all of them.  And more keycap sets than I would care to consider :))
