Programmer, Colemak, Autohotkey, Ergodox, Arcade Cabinet

[Questengine]

Hey,
I'm a programmer, .NET and web stuff, for over 15 years.  I've been very happy with Colemak for the past 3 years and would recommend it to anyone. I use LOTS of Autohotkey (is there a special page/group here for autohotkey?  Seems like there should be).  I've got a MX Blue Ergodox on the way, in the mail, my first ever mech board.  I use MS Natural 4K and LOVE it, but I wanted to get onto some mechanical keys and TECK seems to have a spotty reputation, and I like Ergodox's openness, so I went with that.

I think if you ever have to look down from the screen to your keyboard you're doing it wrong, so I don't get the fuss over LED's and fancy keycaps, but I do appreciate a few extra nubs (besides just home row index fingers) so I can feel my way around.

I built an arcade cabinet a few years ago so I've done some wiring of buttons, joysticks and keyboard controllers and I'm in the process of building a hitbox for my pc and a Max Keyboard Falcon-8 style 8-key keypad out of an old credit card and some spare MX Blues.

So that sounds like a lot of bragging, but basically, I've learned a lot lurking here for a while and I wanted to join up and contribute.  Hey  everyone!

Welcome. That Falcon kit sure looks useful

Welcome to Geekhack!

There's lot of questions about autohotkey, plus these two threads:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=18052.0
https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=65730.0

The second thread was created more recently, but the first thread has by far the most posts, and the most recent posts too.

Nubs?  Do you prefer scoops, bars or nipples?

I've never used scoops, but bars and nipples (which are just really small bars right?) are fine. 
PRO TIP. I cut a tiny scrap of a rubber band, maybe 1 or 2 millimeters, and use a drop of white Elmer's glue to attach it to the key.  So I have extra nubs on the number row on keys 3 and 9, which has proven immensely helpful.

Of course this only works if you don't care what your keyboard looks like.  If you've got animating LEDs you probably don't want scraps and glue on your keys.  But if you want efficiency and extra tactile feedback, it very useful.
