Title: Keyboard customisers
Post by: LollyWater on Wed, 28 November 2012, 18:42:46: I know of WASD's keyboard customiser are there any others?

Post by: rootwyrm on Thu, 29 November 2012, 00:43:28: Unicomp will do a fairly high level of customization by request, though not as extreme on the keycaps. However, Unicomp can and will do an entirely custom layout (using standard Set2 scancodes) if that's what you want as well. So if you want F12 to F1, they can do it.
Remember that Unicomp builds the keyboards and controllers, whereas WASD is doing nothing more than badging the base reference Costar CST-104.

Someone was working on an application to visualise keycap customisations, but I can't seem to find the thread now.

WASD. He typically has a few photoshoppers around make the layouts, IIRC.

But yea dc is the one that has been helping me. I make crappy looking layouts with a different layer in each pic using photoshop and dc does his magic and mashes it up into something presentable that WASD and possibly others (imsto, qtan) can use.
