Hello from Nashville!
« on: Sun, 07 February 2016, 17:29:18 »
Hello to everyone! I've been lurking this board for several months now and thought it was about time to go ahead and join. I've got a WASD v2 with the DSA Dolch caps and MX Blues that I've had for several years as well as a HHKB Pro 2 that I just got last week. I've also got a Nerd60 on order from Gon but I am just acting like it doesn't exist until it actually shows up. I am hoping to pick up a Mobik kit and make that my first build at some point this year. I'm really interested in 40% boards right now as I have been doing more traveling for work and would love to have something I can just toss in my bag when I am away home.

It took me a long time to decide what I wanted in the Nerd60 and then about another week to convince myself to actually spend the $$$ on it.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Actually the HHKB is an excellent travelling keyboard - as it has no plate it is very light, but also sturdy, 60% with an intuitive function layer, well supported, much loved.  It is an end game keyboard for quite a few people.
"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

I'm interested in the 40% keyboards too!

I currently have a Poker 2 and bought a sleeve from the people at Specialeemade, and I carry it to school almost everyday. I use it with a Surface Pro 3 and it's amazing to type on. Looking for something smaller and lighter for school though.

If you ever get a chance to use a 40% keyboard let me know how you like it!!

Also, welcome to GH! Even though I've only been here a couple of days. :P
