New from Los Angeles
« on: Tue, 15 March 2016, 22:55:02 »
Hey everyone new member from Los Angeles currently rocking a Filco. I spend most of my day programming so I am looking for someone to make me a few cool boards for work/home.

People not knowing where you live is difficult.

When I tell them I'm in between LA and San Diego, they just say "So you're in LA?"

Welcome to Geekhack!

Make you a board?  When there are so many nice keyboards out there already?

What about a RealForce?  Or an HHKB?  Or a Model M?  A Model F, perhaps?  CODE with MX clears?

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

Santa Monica to be specific... Anyone around these parts? The reason i am looking for something more custom is because I want programmability such as that of the Teensy. I also want a planck but sold my Weller a while back and don't really want to spend the time making it.

Ah, that makes a little more sense now :)

There are members who provide keyboard construction and repair services.

It's a bit out of date (ha!) but there is an artisan services directory thread that should at least give you a starting point.

And if you see a keyboard kit that interest you, by all means post in the relevant thread to ask who would be best to assemble it for you.

Many Thanks! Is there a reason by any chance that "A popular serial bus for keyboard connectivity:" does not accept PS/2 for me but USB is ok?
