Hello from Germany!
« on: Tue, 01 March 2016, 15:54:53 »
Hi there,

I am pretty new to the mechanical keyboard community. But so far I love everything about it :D

I bought myself a Qisan MagicForce 68 Keyboard with Gateron Blue switches. Just yesterday I upgraded it with cherry MX compatible keycaps from a old Triumph Adler 7007L typewriter and I think it looks gorgeous ;)

I also started to design my own 3D printable keycaps right away. Four mayan themed keycaps for now but I plan on doing more.

Cheers!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Another keyboard I haven't heard of, the Qisan MagicForce 68!

Sometimes greeting new members it seems that everyone has a Pok3r, or every has an HHKB.  Today it seems everyone has a different keyboard :))

There is actually a review of the Qisan MagicForce 68 here.  Sounds like an interesting keyboard, a mostly positive review.

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

Hey. thank you both for welcoming me :)

I originally bought the MagicForce smart with LED backlight and black switches for my brother as a birthday gift.
I thought I could use a new keyboard myself so I got myself the non backlit version with blue switches.

I somehow got sucked into this  :))

I definitely want to try out a Pok3r or HHKB sometime. I am also lurking around on garage sales, thriftshops and such, haha.

And yep, I (apparently) am the mayan keycap guy. I designed them for fun and got so much positive responses on reddit, that I went on and made them available on shapeways in my little shop :)

I am designing a new keycap right now as a matter of fact  ;D

Ohhhh, I saw your post on the r/keycapdesigners thread, very nice  ;D Welcome! I'm looking forward to seeing more of those casts you're making using 3D printed masters  :thumb:

Pok3r and HHKB are two of the most popular 60% keyboards.  You won't go wrong with either of them.
