Hi from the midwest!
« on: Sat, 23 April 2016, 16:33:19 »
Hello GeekHack, I'm new to this scene and currently live in Wisconsin. I have a Corsair K70 RGB (my first) with MX Browns that has been a good introduction to MKs. I'm interested in minimalist and 60% boards and I hope to hand-wire my own in the near future because I am very picky.

My first was a Ducky Shine 4 with Browns. I just got a black Varmilo  VA87MN TKL which is very minimalist.

Welcome to Geekhack!

What aspects of commercial keyboards do you dislike enough to hand-wire your own keyboard?

Actually another new member just indicated an interest in hand-wiring a 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
