A very good day to you Sir,
I hope you are doing Great Sir,
Please kindly take a look at the attached picture for my Fightboard Design This Fightboard will be used for Fighting Games like Street Fighter II + IV + V If Possible please use Low-Profile Laptop Mechanical Keycaps just like on the OLKB Planck Light Mechanical Keyboard If Possible I would like to have N-Key-Roll-Over as well for all Keys This Fightboard will be used in conjunction with an input processing device called the ConsoleTuner Titan 2 https://www.consoletuner.com The Keys - "QWERT" + "AZ" + "GB" will all have MACROS assigned to them using the Titan 2 Input Processing Device These MACROS Keys will execute a Character's Moves when any the MACRO Key is pressed These Charater Moves include - normal moves + super combos etc When used with the Titan 2, These MACRO Keys can be pressed in conjunction with the Directional Keys to perform a Character's normal moves or super combos etc The Titan 2 Input Device is a VERY Flexible Input Processing Device Please kindly take note that the Keys - "S" "D" "F" Should be using the "F" or "J" Physical Keys Because the "F" and "J" Keys have a little physical notch on the top of the Key This will be a Tactile Marker for the user of the Fightboard So that any user will know exactly which keys they are pressing without looking at their hands and the Fightboard. By touching on the Keys and feeling the S D F Tactile Marker Notches, A user should know which Keys they are Touching or Pressing.
Key Assignments S = Light Punch D = Medium Punch F = Hard Punch X = Light Kick C = Medium Kick V = Hard Kick
The Design of this Fightboard should follow the physical design of the - Massdrop - OLKB Planck Light Mechanical Keyboard
Basically you take the - Massdrop - OLKB Planck Light Mechanical Keyboard - And you make it look like this Fightboard
I would like to kindly ask - "How much it will cost to produce just 1 or 2 of this Fightboard for my own personal use" ?

Dr.David_BowmanMassdrop is not in the market of producing or developing prototypes or products just for peoples personal use. It would have to be popular enough it would be viable to do as a drop and reach an MOQ that would be set by the manufacturer.
You could easily 3D print and handwire this and use a Teensy as the controller though for personal use. Would be quite simple.

What are the chances of being able to buy anything left over from DSA Overcast from Yanbo's closet sale?
Looking for the Orange ISO and Ergodox kits...I doubt they were that popular...
Thanks,

chaozhiwangIf you are talking about the original Ergodox configurator, we are still working on it. There are some security issues with it and our team is working on fixing them. I cannot give you a good estimate right now, but I will follow up with them.

【IC】Roselle Evolution：Feel the extraordinary touch of the Roselle V2
Since we launched Roselle switch, it has always been loved by a large number of enthusiasts, due to its unique material and touch. In order to repay the love of fans, we decided to do a upgrade version of Roselle. However, when it comes to product upgrades, it is not easy! Product upgrades is a complex process, involving market research, design, development, testing and other links, but I am a person who particularly love to toss, so after half a year of continuous adjustment and transformation of the mold, lubing technology upgrade and test, so there is the Roselle V2. If you want to know what changes we have made, please don't miss the following: 1. 【RGB diffuser】Make every breath of the keyboard full of charm In the world of keyboard, the combination of light and force can always create infinite possibilities, so we added a transverse RGB diffuser in Roselle V2.

5 Tips On How To Enjoy The Keyboard Hobby
One of Jack Kester/Pikatea's Many Boards That He Brought To The 2024 Iowa Meetup The mechanical keyboard hobby is fantastic. Whether you’re someone that originally wanted to upgrade your desk setup with a cool-looking board, or someone that found the hobby because of ergonomic reasons, there are many ways that we found the hobby - and many more reasons why we’ve stayed in the hobby. However, you can definitely get overwhelmed by the vast amount of information. OR, you may burn out and realize the time you’re spending negatively impacts your life. I’m hoping that by sharing my own experiences and tips, I can help newcomers and enthusiasts avoid those situations. Everyone enjoys the hobby in their own way, and that’s fine - as long as it doesn't negatively impact your life. Let’s take a look at these 5 tips, and remember, these are just my personal opinions!

This time, we’re talking to Yanbo Wu, who leads the Mech Keys team at Massdrop. First, we’ll let you read a little about his background and passions. Then, we’ll turn the mic over for a community Q&A. Submit your questions in the comment section, and stay tuned for the answers in a follow-up post.
When did you start getting into the mech keys community? What got you interested? I actually only got into mechanical keyboards after I was hired by Massdrop. I’ve had a lot of experience previously with mass production and project management. Also, being bilingual, it helped smooth out a lot of the communication issues with our overseas vendors. After a few weeks on the job, I was hooked. Now, I check Geekhack, Reddit, and Deskthority, and I’ve even got quite a few of my friends hooked.
What’s the biggest investment you’ve made while building your setup? Probably the Varmilo VA68M. But the VE.A is calling my name...
What’s a small addition that can make a big difference to your board? I’ve been thinking about getting a board with tactile Cherry MX Grays. I really enjoy the tactile feedback of those switches.
What’s your favorite thing about working here? The people are all very passionate about what they do, and everyone genuinely cares about the community. Also, Kunal and Alex.
Which mechanical keyboard companies are you excited about today? I’m more excited by the community and all the cool home-brew projects I’ve seen. People are very creative, and something like hand-wiring a whole keyboard is pretty amazing to see.
Bonus question: Favorite burrito?
It's pretty hard to pick a favorite burrito when there are so many to pick from. But California burritos (carne asada, French fries, cheese, salsa, and guacamole) have always hit the spot for me.
