Hello again Geekhack, im Que.
(or Que7797 on Discord)
I've been fortunate enough to have owned keyboards from many designers over the years. This has led me to develop very selective personal preferences.
No one was offering the specific combination of features that I wanted, so I decided to make my own. My goal is to blend the classic kustom aesthetic I love with the modern design features I need.
In addition to keyboards, I also love making keycaps. Combining those two passions led me to create Quest Keyboards!
You can check out some of my work at instagram.com/quest.keyboards (http://www.instagram.com/quest.keyboards)
or questkeyboards.com (http://www.questkeyboards.com)
Now I'd like to share a project that is finally nearing completion.

Background InfoThe result of over a year of work, numerous complete re-designs, and an entire GB dedicated to prototyping/gearing up for this public Geekhack run.
Every millimeter has been obsessively scrutinized and finely tuned to blend classic shapes and contemporary features together in a harmonious balance that I believe is worthy of any collection.
Many thanks to Pwner, Hiney, and Yuktsi for their input, guidance, and friendship over the years.
