The start of a new obsession...
« on: Tue, 07 July 2015, 16:45:42 »
Hey guys! Newer member here and just wanted to introduce myself.  I have the same name over at Reddit (Att1cus) if you want to hit me up there. I just completed the first iteration of my key layout for my Ducky Legend (blue MX switches).  I'm not quite sure what to call it yet - maybe you guys could help me think of a name?  Pictures are below.  Anyways, hoping to become active in the artisan cap trading circles.  The recent BroCaps Cosmos and Low Sodium sales were my first attempts at getting some hand-made artisan caps - missed out this time but hopefully will get lucky in future raffles :)  I did have some amazing caps made by RaVNzCRoFT over at the K3YD shop on Shapeways - you can see the close-ups of them on the pictures below.  Here's hoping they're the first of may pleasant transactions in the MK community!

Welcome to Geekhack!

I hope you're not disheartened by missing out on the recent Bro Caps sale.  For some people success doesn't come until after a dozen such sales.  Other people manage to get lucky on their first sale (I wish I knew how!).  Eventually you'll get your first Bro Cap (or Clack, or whichever one it is), and really see what all the fuss is about :)

"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

Welcome to Geekhack!

It took me quite a few tries to win any Bro Caps but stick around and you'll get one eventually!

Thanks for the welcomes, guys.  I know it's never easy getting your hands on a bro or a clak, but I have managed to get a few HKP caps that I'll probably look into trading when my post count allows me to post in the classifieds thread.

Welcome. I saw your post over on reddit. Still can't figure out what the second cap is supposed to be.

Did you do the CAD drawings yourself or was that on shapeways already?

I came up with the design and Ravnzcroft did the CAD drawing, then put it on his shapeways page for me (and others, if they want it) to buy.
