Check Out My Keyster!
« on: Fri, 23 September 2022, 16:31:41 »
Well, I Finally Did It!
It’s been a journey, but I finally finished building the keypad of my dreams!
Ladies and Gentlemen, The Keyster! (pun intended)



Four years ago I first started toying with the idea of a keypad with isolated arrow keys and basically a set of keys in num-pad configuration on either side. I stumbled from forum to forum, hoping to come across someone that would be willing to build this for me.

Hitting a wall at each turn, I finally resolved to build this myself and with much help, (mainly from the deskthority gang), I finally finished my first build…actually my first and second build. My wife wanted one too!

I’m not going to post heavily here, but if you want to see more, including my build notes, a short vid, plus a bonus shot of the back plate, check me out here:

I have to give big thanks to the folks here that helped out an old fool like me when I was stumbling. Without the guidance and nudging from people like Muirium, jsheradin, Findecanor, Lanrefni, and a bunch of others, I would still be bumping my head against the wall.

Thanks guys, this has been a wonderful time.

That is an unusual layout so it's good to see you go through with making it rather than compromising.  Looks great too! :thumb:
