I find building keyboards very relaxing (here is my work so far: https://ereign.is/objects/ https://ereign.is/objects/).
The split orthos are very usable and comfortable after a few hours of acclimatization (I mostly use a commercial Topre board for now, I should finish designing QMK layouts that better serve my needs).
- LeftHandPath 7y agoThose look badass! Reminds me of some of the ergo keyboards that I looked at in the past... only a lot more stylish. The first one [0] reminds me of an old Learjet or Falcon 10 cockpit with the lights lit up (see [1]). I really love the look of the wires you chose, as well, with the knurled connector housing and heavy-duty threading for the cords. The Nyquist Rev. 2.1 [2] looks like its fresh off the Nostromo. Do you do your own CNC/laser engraving or are the keys OTS?

- frostburg 7y agoThe keycaps are all from group buys, nothing custom; unfortunately I don't have the equipment to make them (there is no practical way to do double-shot injection molding on a small scale, but dye sublimation on blanks could be possible). I went for a PCB with underglow leds for the "space cadet" replica keycaps because unlike the others shining a in-switch led thru them wouldn't have looked interesting.
