Title: Where can I get an Ergodox?
Post by: cksa361 on Sat, 18 October 2014, 04:09:28: Just found out about the ergodox/mechanical keyboards a few days back!!! VERY keen to get one. I am good at soldering and assembling from parts in general so just acquiring the parts isn't an issue (electronics engineer by profession). However, I don't want to get a PCB fabbed up just for this and spend time laser cutting out a case for it....would be nice if I could just get the parts ready to be assembled....sort of like the massdrop runs.....but it doesn't seem to be an active group buy at the moment :(

Are there any available sources out there?

Isn't that just the installation instructions lol.

afaik, I think you'll have to wait for a drop or buy it off geekhack classifieds.

Ah, I see :)

Op would need to source a case, which I feel is the hardest if he wants to build one using parts he can find
