G'day - Custom fabricator here!
« on: Wed, 30 January 2013, 01:22:53 »
G'day from Melbourne!

7G enthusiast here!

I am an Industrial Designer and fabrication is a big hobby - considering making some custom polished wooden and metal keycaps in the near future!

Hardcore Quake player, and love Super Meat Boy!

Cant wait for some PBT / double shot GB's

Cheers!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Hint: If you can make nice metal keycaps in small quantities, you will have people lining up and offering to sell body parts to buy them ;)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Thanks very much! Can't wait to make some cool **** and share it with GH! I have my own workshop and design studio, as well as being a member to a large woodworking club with all the machinery I could possibly want, as well as free access to laser cutters and cnc machines at my university!

I was talking to one of my best buddies who is a radiographer today (before I joined GH) and he was asking me to make some custom metal (die-cast) letters for use on x-rays, it was at that point that I realised I could make metal keycaps in small numbers when I get around to it!

Thanks for the awesome welcome guys! I already get the feeling this is a great community - and this is only hours after I joined!

On the subject of Quake, have you heard of Xonotic/Nexuiz Classic, and (and if you have) how good is it compared to Quake?

I love Xonotic as a fun, mindless shooter, and I would love to know how it compares. I figure that it's not technically threadcrapping if I talk about something that's in the OP... :)

Anyways, welcome to GeekHack. (most) people are friendly, and you can always ignore the mean ones. We can ALWAYS have another craftsman/fabricator. Great to have you aboard, prepare to get more knowledge than you ever wanted about mechanical keyboards :)

I got 5 responses to a question about Cherry MX Greens in 12 minutes (may have been Vice-versa, I don't remember). The community here specializes in fast response.

33 or 104 sets of solid wooden keycaps would sell like hotcakes. I honestly don't think you could make them fast enough or charge too much for them lol.

I remember a couple years ago, I saw a thread where a korean (asian, anyway) site was selling cherry boards with different woods for cases and caps, and charging a couple thousand dollars into them.

Even assuming it took tens of hours and you sold it for half as much, I don't know what your take home pay is per hour, but that's pretty damn lucrative.

Here's the korean engadget site I found reporting on it.
