It's always nice to see DIY cases! I take it you used a jigsaw to make a donut and glued it to a base? Seems an order of magnitude less difficult than routing a bowl. By lining it, is it for dampening? What do you think about construction using joinery (versus routing/carving less pieces)? Is it a t...

Without modding each keyboard, do you think it may be sufficient to get a metallic strip as a wrist rest, or something to that effect?

BTW, pins 40 and 10 (blank in the matrix on the wiki) route to the Fn key which I desire to be a working APP key.

In for some. I'd like to get an idea of what the Black (Mac version) looks like simply because I dislike the Win8 logo. Is it still available (because it's in the form)?

Thanks for letting me know! I normalized my matrix and it matches (at least as wired to a tenkeyless).

[help] CM Storm liberation device

Hey guys, I've been out of the scene for a long while. Quite easy to do when you're feeling satisfied. I recently picked up a CM Storm Quickfire Stealth. I would rather its Fn key be a proper Apps/Context Menu key. So I want to replace the daughterboard on it much like bpiphany's HID Liberation Devi...

Good to know, thanks. I did notice that a couple of them upon removal were widened by the plate edge (accumulation of shavings in the inside corner, so that blockage also explains why they didn't fully seat)

my eroded keycaps

I've been using these for 28 months(?). Dolch replica from SP, ABS; aka GH ROUND 1.

Left alt vs. right alt, respectively.

This is partly why I'm not very enthused about keyboards anymore. I have some PBT keycaps to try out later when a Phantom arrives :-D

Hardwood isn't plastic or metal. Instead of breaking like dry spaghetti-from-a-box, it splits along the grain when encountering sufficient impact, so it is fragile when not bulky, requiring extra babying, which is fine if you don't intend on portability. This is why you don't see keyboard cases in t...

Black casing? My best answer for a hard-to-notice fix was to use a hole punch on a single piece of electrical tape, which has a matte sheen that matches typical "plastic texture." Combine that with just not looking at the keyboard, perhaps even omitting the LED holes to make this easier.

Nice use of vinyl-coated paperclips to reduce the dinging of keycap edges, if you care about that.
