Thank you to who ever upkeeps these forms, I have been following some threads for a few months now debating if I should dive into building my own input device in the future - and the resources found through the threads are pretty awesome
I am hoping by August to start building my own media/keyboard I do allot of 3d/photoshop/ semi-broadcasting stuff and I am sick of having to learn short cuts to every program I use -- I've gone from logitech boards with g-keys to corsair k95 series .. to there wtf :'( k95-rgb (we hate humans software based keyboard, and onboard memory thats unusable - another wtf moment)
so far I've seen allot of builds with teensy and arduino with custom firmware witch is awesome, but are there any built with an x-key controller http://xkeys.com/PIComponents/USBEncoderBoards.php - they have some ok macro boards that would fit my needs but they seem big and bulky and my workspace is already limited
if anyone knows of any other companies that make controllers with firmware/software please tell me :p

Welcome to GeekHack! :cool:
Making your own keyboard? Be sure to check out the making stuff together sub-forum (https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=117.0)!
Happy Keyboarding!

Welcome to Geekhack!
An interesting controller - I haven't heard of anyone using that one before, but my experience of these things is hardly universal :))
infiniti has directed you to the making stuff together area - that would be the best place to discuss this :)
