EDIT: I'm not longer planning on doing this. Feel free to leave interest here in case someone else wants to pick this up. I bought Ducky PBT double-shots and they've been great. Some tips if you do the same: Use the ]} for the 3# key so it's the right profile. Likewise, use the KP8 key for 8* instead of the 8* key. Use alt/ctrl/win as the modifier keys on the left and right. Use KPenter and KP0 for the thumb buttons. Ask mechanicalkeyboards.com (where I bought my keys) for an extra KPenter/KP0 if you order from them, they were able to help me out with that for an extra $5. I decided to leave some keys properly labeled rather than have them be mislabeled and PBT. I don't know of where to get tall PBTs, so those are still OEM. Here's what mine looks like: [image] Hey all, I'm just gauging interest here for now, but how many of you would be interested in buying a PBT Keycap set from Signature Plastics? The price would likely be ~$100 plus or minus depending on # of buyers.

[image] This is a little daisy pcb, with mathias click switches. I used two mats (one green and one of cream-colored foam) to modify the transmission of the switches on the aluminum of the case. The sound resembles that of the old keyboards of the past. Keycaps are thick double shot from thaihao. The result is a compact, but really solid keyboard with a soft, but firm and noisy touch. Here a little video. [image] [image] [image] [image]

[image] Daisy is really a flexible pcb, good for many project. This one is a mix of gateron brown and three kailh BOX Jade. Keycaps are from a MagicForce49, the blank one are from pok3r brushed with a dremel and sileced with o-rings (they are very thick and solid). It was necessary to reprogram the layout and at the end this keyboard it's really comfortable as well as clicky! [image] [image] [image] [image]

Hey my keeb friends, it's your boye oldcat here, to present a design in collaboration with airpotter from Gray Studio. Krauth summarized René Descartes' philosophy succinctly, "That cannot doubt which does not think, and that cannot think which does not exist. I doubt, I think, I exist." As a fan of and heavily influenced by Descartes' Philosophy, I combined the key term with some design choices of this board, and named it "Think6.5°". Think6.5° has been more than 3 months in the making, and the prototype is currently being made. I think it is a good time to gather some final feedback for a potential production version. My original plan was to make about 10 boards (at a relatively high price) for myself and friends, but PCB maker is not willing to just make 10. Potter asked me about doing a GB to lower cost of production, if enough people in the community are interested. So here it is:  [image] [image] [image] [image] Motivations and Design Choices 1. It is a design that I...

Hey fellow Key cap enthusiasts! As of now I am working on bringing a full sized 104 key aluminum key cap set to market. Each key would be individual milled to ensure maximum quality. I am interested to know how many of you are interested and what you would be willing to pay for the set. It will probably go for around $1,900 (EDIT: now my goal is $600 to $800) Do you think that is too high or am I undercutting myself. To tide you over till make a full set, here's a photo of an unfinished prototype. [image] (The final design will have a mat finish) Edit: New photo of latest key design [image]

Asked on the original listing for the full set but no response. I’m wondering about the unicorn and keyboard keycaps specifically. Sorry for low image quality. [image]

Anyone else interested in continuing the series into a stand alone numpad? Here are some thoughts for whoever might be listening: First, call it the TAB. I work in accounting and anyone who uses quickbooks probably uses that key more than anything else for navigating around. Note of course, that it needs to have a tab key for that reason to be a viable numpad for accountants and bookkeepers. Second, differentiate it by having a tab key to the left of the numpad cluster for thumb operation, and a second key underneath that can either stock firmware is (shift+tab) or can otherwise be configurator-ed into that (this is the first thing I did with my ALT, programming it to get rid of caps lock and give that key some purpose to exist). The ducky pocket has a shift tab key and it never seems to be in stock. To keep the design language consistent, maybe you make those two keys down half a row like the arrow keys on the SHIFT, but otherwise keep row consistency. The thing about the extra...
