amber LEDs? not sure I've ever seen them. are they tinted yellow-ish? do you have them on one of your boards you can show me. that sounds cool.

I can attest to this. In the last month I sent a 10 pound plate to a fellow GH member for some leather work as a base for my panavise that I use for keyboard stuffs. That was $50 in shipping alone to send the plate to her on top of the leather work. Plus I am mere weeks away from purchasing a brand new benchtop vertical mill to make various keyboard parts and custom tools/desktop trinkets. This is on top of the various cap group buys and random vintage keyboards I have sourced.

Post by: six_chains on Fri, 24 October 2014, 01:56:04: wow. that's great! I'm actually a designer of sorts, and was thinking about making some high quality custom leather cases. I've got some nice hide laying around..

if there's any interest, I'd probably throw it up on my shop.

Interesting. Noko is our other fellow leather worker here. She has a thread in the artisan services thread. My piece is a page or two from the end.

She does some amazing work! bookmarked, as I'll probably be asking for input later haha. I don't think I will be producing at that level of customization, but I definitely have access to some quality materials that I can design & craft some nice one off bags or something.

when i was younger and up until now, I've admired BMW's (m3s in particular) instrument panel, simple yet very elegant display of design

this spiraled into me wanting amber lights to lite up my keyboard...

Welcome to Geekhack!

stock double shots. I don't mind the DCS. Goes quite well with the grey & they feel too spectacular to pass up.
I don't care for the ugly typeface on them though.
