Full writeups on these coming soon but Ive been collecting some very large microswitch keyboards. Any advice on restoring the SD variant switches is appreciated!

With that NEWS cluster on the bottom one I'm guessing George was really into Nethack.

Love these things. Can't wait to see more.

It was more just me having too many extra caps and wanting to make the keyboard look purposeful again. I was originally going for a compass type thing with North South East and West, which of course makes zero sense being on a keyboard lol

It makes sense if you play a lot of terminal RPG's. You're always moving in cardinal directions, so it works out rather well. You built the perfect Nethack keyboard and didn't even know it. :lol:

What the actual… impressive keyboard you’ve got there! Did you pry it from a tank?
