List of Custom Keyboards

[Fnzzy]

So I have been playing with the idea of making a list of Korean Custom keyboards, including original price, market price and what kind of variations one model has (i.e. comes in 3 colors etc.).

So yesterday evening I sat down and made a quick Spreadsheet and listed a few keyboards that came to mind. Unfortunately though, I am quite new to the game. I have no idea about original pricing or market value of some of the boards, especially OTD boards, so I thought I could make this sheet public and everyone who wants to contribute can do so! Then, everyone who wants to know something about a specific model or just wants to see what's out there can go to that list and find it out!

Now I am not sure if this is in the interest of people so I thought I just post this here and get some feedback on my idea.

Here is the link to the google doc: I deleted the entire sheet because it got completely trashed and personal information was posted. We need a better solution for this.

It is already open for you people to edit it, so if you think this is a good idea and you would like to contribute you can do so without hesitation! Keep in mind I am a noob in this field, so there may be some mistakes in the stuff that I already wrote. If you want you can double check and maybe correct me.

Please tell me what you think of this idea and if it is needed or not.


UPDATE: Apparently now a list of every custom, not only korean so we can include stuff like Red Scarf.

The original KMAC had a PCB that could make 84, 86, and 87 key layouts I believe.

I also believe KMAC 1, 1.2, and LE were all different anodizing and PCB runs I believe. The 1.2 and LE should have the KMAC 1.2 PCB. I think the KMAC 1 had the original PCB.

Here's a helpful thread with some more information. I'm no expert on Korean customs though so I'd love to know if I'm right or wrong. I do know my KMAC LE is incredible and I love it very much.

Added a couple lines of useless stuff =]

Nice list, really helpful to have a community contributable list like this

[CPTBadAss]

There's been a Leeku 1800 and 3000 PCB. I'm not sure if there's been full kits or cases made besides the kin25. Also I thought the PCB was out of China?

[Fnzzy]

Thanks everyone, glad to see my idea is well recieved! Hope to see a huge list soon!

[Photekq]

Good idea. Seems quite a lot of work has been done already. I added/changed a few things.

[Synjin]

This is such an amazing idea. I sure wish something like this existed when i joined GH.

[clacktalk]

I like aggregated information! This is great.

[CPTBadAss]

Semantics:

Red Scarf is Chinese yes? If this is a list of Korean customs, do we want to include them? Or do we want to change the name of the list?

I had a quick chat with one of the guys that were editing on the sheet, within 10 seconds we were the same oppinion. Include Red Scarf and call the list "Custom Keyboards" lol. So I just added what I knew about RS boards.

[CPTBadAss]

Sounds good.

Next question: Are you sure it's raw aluminum for the KMAC 2? I believe it's just clear anodization. The colors you get from anodizing comes from dyes that are added during the ano process. You can have ano with no colorants. I've changed the sheet accordingly but I can change it back.

What about Kaliet's stuff? http://22kbd.com

[Fnzzy]

Sounds good.

You already know more than me about this so I think it is safe to leave it like this until someone comes along and corrects it (if it's even wrong).

If we're calling this custom keyboards, I'm going to add in some of the stuff that has been made on GH including the QazPad, Epsilon, and JD40.

Or is that mission creep?

I say go for it. We also need to add Skelldon and JD 45

Fine by me. We can design keyboards too!

[CPTBadAss]

Sounds good . I added the Epsilon but I'll need to do some digging to see what the JD40 from CTRL ALT and the QazPad GB came with.

Oh and as a reminder to myself, the GHPad is a thing that I should add too.

[billnye]

Added a few things

[monotagary]

This is awesome. I don't have much knowledge to contribute, but this will certainly be something I will be using often.

[sethk_]

Added the Winkeyless B series

[zennasyndroxx]

Note to self: never try and edit a spreadsheet on a phone with a small screen.

Also, nice effort from people here

[Sygaldry]

This is great.

I love the anonymous names given to contributors lol.

Anonymous Axolotl is my favorite.

[Neo.X]

This is a great tool, hope it can get all the keyboards with their market price as a reference to seller and buyers.

Thanks for sharing.

I think this is a great idea. Answered a bunch of my questions already. I would recommend making daily backups of the file. I know google drive is pretty good about this, but you can never be too careful.

Made a private copy of the sheet before I posted it. Will try to make a backup every night.

Nice. I would've just hate to see one ***hole ruin this for the community.

I can make a script that downloads it every so often

I just got it working . Anyways, Google supports downloading their drive files through docs and spreadsheets, and you can change the format through URL, so I am running a script that changes the file name by +1 after 15 minutes.

[CPTBadAss]

Added Epsilon, QazPad, JD40/Smallfry, GHPad/abostudio Numberpad.

[jonathanyu]

I think it would be better to post pictures of unassembled kit to let people know what the keyboard looks before assembly.

Not sure who made the Whale, but I did stumble upon it. Anyone have any info?

Someone has added "Whale" and "Dolphin" to the KBDmod boards. Not sure if this is true since I have never heard of those keyboards.

[jonathanyu]

I am not sure about who make the whale and dolphin, but they exist.  Never seen them sale on GH though.

Dolphin

[pr0ximity]

This thread is just what I needed! Thanks for all the contributions, very helpful list 

[Fnzzy]

I also have to thank all the contributers! The list would have been near empty without you!

Also, the "Whale" and the "Dolphin" are now listed under KBDmod, Lynnx3 and whale again in its own list

[sethk_]

If someone wants to beat me to it, there is the a87 as well, but I know little info on that, and I also know that there is the mx1800 that someone is designing

If you meant the LK1800FE, I already put it up =)

Isn't there also an mx1800 though? Unless he changed the name

Beautiful.  I'm especially a fan of the dolphin.  Have they already all been produced or is there any chance we'll get them over here sometime?  First time hearing of them for me.

iirc, they was sold in Korea a year ago.. so it would probably be really tough to find one unless you know someone in Korea.
