A brief reflection and look at how far our community has come since joining. I’ve been in the mechanical keyboard hobby for a very long time. It started as a high school student’s search for a keyboard for writing novels back in the 2008-2009 school year. I thought I wanted to be an author and I felt I needed a keyboard that I could sit down to at my desk and just write.

My apologies for the lack of a HOME R2 in the Cyberdeck kit, I will try to do better planning next time so this won’t occur again. Hope you understtand!
