Hello fellow keyboard enthusiasts!
« on: Mon, 23 July 2018, 19:23:46 »
Hello everyone!

I recently jumped headfirst into the mechanical keyboard community by hand-wiring a 60% keyboard:

Build details: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/8zkim2/photos_white_and_green_my_first_handwired/e2jbqtm/

I am really excited to build more keyboards and to become more familiar with this community; so far, it has been incredibly helpful and friendly and I hope to be here for quite a while.

Welcome to Geekhack! :cool:

WHOA...not many people jump straight into a hand-wired keyboard!  :eek: Your build would be right at home in our Making Stuff Together! subforum.

P.S. Very clean soldering

Thanks!  I do have some experience soldering hand-wired projects (outside of custom keyboards). I never would have hand-wired a keyboard without some prior experience with soldering, and I definitely would recommend that most people stay away from hand-wiring as a first custom keyboard.
