Hello (and help with identifying a build)
« on: Sat, 16 May 2015, 12:01:55 »
A recovering Apple scissor-switch chiclet addict here. Looking to build my first custom dark themed PBT DSA 5x16 or 5x15. Ideally RGB MX Browns and full control of color/animation via API. I want my keyboard lights to notify me of servers being down.

Just sold my das Keyboard 4 Pro to make way for new stuff. Current collection:

  • Matias Laptop Pro
  • CM Storm Quickfire Rapid-i TKL MX Blues + blue o-rings
  • CM Storm Quickfire Rapid-i TKL MX Browns + blue o-rings
  • Corsair K65 RGB MX Reds + ckb OSX Driver + clear WASD o-rings (really wish this was browns)
  • Filco Ninja Majestouch-2 TKL NKR MX Browns + blue o-rings
  • Rosewill Micro RK-9000 MX Blues
  • Massdrop ErgoDox kit MX Browns PBT DSA blanks (waiting for delivery)
  • Massdrop DSA Dolch Keycap Set (waiting for delivery)

Currently drooling over this--what parts were used to make this so I can do my best imitation?:

AFAIK that is an MX Mini from GON w/ DSA Dolch, which Signature Plastics has in their store

Welcome to Geekhack!

Using keyboard LEDs to indicate server status - that's an interesting idea!

You'd probably want a second equivalent keyboard in case the first one develops a problem, or at least some other way of monitoring the servers.

"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
