Hi, indeed that was me. It's fixed now and fully working ^^ you can check my signature.

Currently available to take 1 ASSEMBLY order. I don't have the equipment or time to do any modding that involves desoldering. Since I have a real job now orders may experience longer turnaround times, or I may not be able to finish them at all and will cover returning everything to you.

Much slower. Thankfully Canadian demand for services isn't as much as USA... I hear Hoff/JD/LastPilot are all backlogged to death.

I've been thinking about getting into the biz... maybe I'll open up the market a bit. I need a slightly larger resume though I think.

lol my resume was only personal boards when I started. As long as you can build yourself nice keyboards, you can do it for others and they'll appreciate that.

Hey all! I recently had a Filco MJ1 modded by Sifo so here's my short review. Unfortunately no pics right now because I'm waiting on a cable from mimic and a few other small things to finish it up.

Sifo is super cool and friendly, I was kinda nervous as it was my first time meeting another geekhacker in person but that passed quickly after we started talking. I came to his side of town for drop it off, and he came to mine to deliver it back to me which was really nice of him.

I am very impressed by his work as well. To be fair I don't really have anything to compare it too, but it looks and feels phenomenal and I couldn't be happier. Sifo clearly puts time into his work and has excellent attention to detail.

Pricing was super fair too, it was nice to be charged in Canadian for once especially considering how crappy our dollar is atm. Turnaround was really fast (work was done within 3 days IIRC), although as Sifo mentioned that is liable to increase so don't expect to get the same speed in the future.

Overall, dealing with Sifo was a great experience and I would definitely recommend him to fellow Canadians for keyboard services.

Thanks Sifo!

Hey guys, Not much to say other than he did a fantastic job on my Phantom and also helped me piece together some bits and answered all my questions!

Would recommend and use his services again if needed another board done

Heyyyyyyy so there were probably some order requests that I missed when I rage quit the whole services thing. No hard feelings I didn't ignore you guys or anything I just wasn't actively checking my spreadsheet. If you'd still like stuff done (some of these were from like half a year ago :X) I'm more than happy to help you out and give you priority over other orders.

Thinking about streaming builds again... but so far every time I've done it I get distracted and **** up a board or something :\ bad luck happens when I stream keyboard builds lol. Maybe I'll do it for my own personal boards and not other people's

Just waiting for parts then!

Another day another keyboard...

I'm really nervous about building this one because it's so nice and I want it to come out absolutely perfect, especially since it isn't mine. So I may or may not stream it... I'll definitely be spending a lot of time working on it, so we'll see.

Sifo · « **Reply #188 on:** Tue, 19 July 2016, 15:22:16 »

Hey guys so I got promo'd and will be full time at work starting the end of this month ish. This probably means after all the stuff in queue I'm gonna have to close up shop

jdcarpe · « **Reply #189 on:** Tue, 19 July 2016, 15:35:08 »

Congrats on the promotion!

Sifo · « **Reply #190 on:** Thu, 21 July 2016, 20:32:08 »

plan is to stream some switch soldering tomorrow at about 8 pm EST if i'm not dying of heat exhaustion (have been the past few days as soon as I get home)

also planning to reopen orders once I settle into the full time position. I've never worked full time before and I'm very bad at managing time, because I sleep for like 16 hours (no exaggeration)

I might try to do like 1 order a month or so, just because I enjoy it

EDIT: ah no stream tomorrow unless late night. forgot dinner with friends :X
