deskthority

Thanks! The Jukebox's colors don't quite match my desk colors! I'm excited for choclatier, although penumbra's solarized is also nice! Most likely gonna sign up for the white chocolate, though!

Thanks a lot! I'll keep an eye then. Hopefully something will pop up!

Thanks! I was hoping for something more colorful! I guess I could go with blank keycaps from signatureplastics <http://pimpmykeyboard.com/blank-key-packs/sa/>

Hi all,

I'm looking to spruce up my ergodox with SA profile keycaps. I currently use it with DSA keycaps, MX clear switches, and dvorak layout. I just ordered MX browns (clears are too stiff for me) and I'm now looking to get an SA set (the retro SA set looks really nice, but it's been dead for a ...

Thanks a lot!

I'm trying to get my feet wet with DIY keyboards and I have just drawn a hopefully-semi-correct design of what I want to produce as my first project. To start, I have taken the key64 project's left hand and drew on top of it and modified it a little bit to ...

Thanks a lot Findecanor, I hope to understand more of your post once I get my hands on some switches/other hardware and be able to play around with them. But you clearly answered my question! :D

Now that the switch mount dillema is over, what is the difference between all the different stabilizers ...

Thanks a lot! There is a lot of great information in that thread. But I'm a bit confused. There are so many variations for cherry plate mounts for 1x1 keys. The cherry mx datasheet just says a square 14mmx14mm is fine. Then there is jdcarpe's sketch with has 3 steps at each corner and indents in the ...

Hi all,

I'm trying to learn how to design plates for cherry mx switches in hopes of being able to make a custom keyboard from scratch. I have looked at matt3o's posts and some other ones about making custom keyboards, but I have yet to learn how to design plates.

So far, the biggest help has been ...
