Hello from the Marshal Islands!
« on: Thu, 16 June 2016, 00:35:37 »
I'm obviously new and obviously afraid. I have a good friend who seems to know everything there is about custom keyboards and I want to join that community too. I have a rough idea of something I want to do for my first keyboard, and hopefully I can get some help from this site!

Welcome! I met someone from the Marshall Islands last summer, I had never heard about it. Pretty cool place.

The only thing that needs to be afraid is your wallet!  :)

Welcome to Geekhack!

reaper speaks words of truth ;)  There's also a thread about that.

Are you looking at buying your first keyboard, or building one?  Either way, there's lots of possibilities.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
