Keyboard Builders' Digest
« on: Mon, 22 February 2021, 08:00:34 »
Hey, fellow builders. The Keyboard Builders' Digest is a weekly magazine I'm editing. It's a hand-picked selection of the best posts from some keyboard related subs on Reddit.

In short, the weekly snapshot of the r/mk without cheap memes, karma-**** posts, showing off and consumerism.

I have followed many of your issues and appreciate what you are doing. It can be tedious filtering through a whole lot of average builds and you have done an excellent job picking the more interesting projects and highlighting them.

Very cool! One request: could you add dates to the articles? It might be nice to have if you're jumping from snippet to snippet and not sequentially reading an issue.

Just found out about this digest - pretty cool! Do you guys also look at /r/CustomKeyboards? I normally post over there, and I know many do since it's a bit easier to browse over /r/mk.

No, the focus is on DIY and real customs, and my understanding is that r/CustomKeyboards is mostly for glamour shots of standard(ish) boards.

real customs

Maybe: "bespoke customs" would resonate better. "Real customs" sounds like bit of a jab from up high (though I'm sure it wasn't intended that way)

Yeah, don't get me wrong. As a non-native speaker I can't feel this linguistic finesse. Up until only a few years ago I hadn't seen the term "custom" used for basically stock prebuilts with switches or caps replaced. So, for me at least, "customs" remain these weird designs which many people would have a hard time to identify as keyboards. :D (On the other hand, I always thought "bespoke" and "custom" are synonyms.)
