Ohhhh hell yeah, I'm east coast and was just inquiring into whether anyone offered services such as these on geekhack....i found some but they were not currently taking orders :-X
thank goodness you are!! i'm sure to be a customer in the coming months :thumb:
Awesome of you to do this Steezus! :D
If we have a board we want to have LED's put in would you be able to source all the parts needed and we just send our board?
I could order some and just add the price for the exact quantity of LEDs needed for the build. I can also toss in some spares as well just in case one happens to go bad. :thumb:

Is why I will be using your service, would you be able to get stabilizers as well? I am in no rush, I can source the switches, as I will be looking for MX blacks, or maybe the Zealios switches... we'll see.

I do have some colors available at the moment(Pink, Sky Blue, Blue, and White). I can always try and buy more but if there isn't a color option that I have for you then to save cost on shipping I could order some and just add the price for the exact quantity of LEDs needed for the build.

Awesome :) Do you also have switches?
So, lets say I ordered a b.87 un-assembled with only the minimum amount of soldering done and then ordered some 78g Zealios switches. Would you be able to throw everything together along with maybe some LEDs?
This is amazing. As someone with a few upcoming builds who lives in Pittsburgh I couldn't be more happy about this. Thanks Steezus!

Yeap, I'll most likely need to stock more LEDs and sip sockets depending on the demand. It's basically as simple as you sending me the parts and I send you a working board. ;)
I was just looking for someone that offered quality keyboard service! I'll be shooting you a PM.

Awesome, I'm really surprised at much interest this thread has gained. :)
Update: Even though I was comfortable with the equipment that I had I found it beneficial to upgrade still. I wanted to ensure that I can be as efficient, precise, and clean as I possibly can. ;)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ZyIkYk9.png)
Wow moving into this KB thing really fast man. :)
Glad to see some East Coast rep, still deciding if I want to get a new soldering iron or not. If I don't, you'll be my go to :thumb:
Just wondering, have you assembled cables? Have been thinking of installing a custom yarbo ps/2 in my 1800 but it requires a few parts and some soldering.
I might request to have you work on my 1800 at some point besides that (depending on how repairs go w/a local friend), but I'll PM/fill the form when the time comes.
Glad to see these services, building jobs look really good so far!

I have not assembled cables before. I could most likely solder it though.
Hey thank you very much, just got a KMAC done today and super happy with how it turned out! I'll be glad to help you out anytime. ;)
I'm currently working on desoldering LEDs in a KC60, an easier task of the factory solder is a ***** to suck up haha.

Got any pics of the KMAC?
Hey! Do you by chance have any vintage blacks on hand? I'm thinking about sending you my poker 2 for a switch swap and leds. I want 55g vintage blacks so I was gonna get the springs and send those along with the board.
Commenting so I can find this later. I've been trying to teach myself to solder, but so far both things I've tried have gotten messed up somehow, so if I lose my nerve I'll have an Ergodox and the White Fox for you lol
I have got some things I will need soldered once I can get some switches in hand.

Hey ccarlitos2,
I do have vintage blacks but sadly they are for a personal project coming up. It took a fair bit of searching around to find ones that I wanted. Your best bet is to try asking around classifieds and see what you can come up with. :thumb:
A little word of advice, "vintage" can be a rather vague term. The vintage switches smoothness can vary year by year and switch by switch on the same board depending on how much typing use they have seen. Sometimes you may want to order more than needed to try them out and see which ones are similar in smoothness and in case any are dead switches. ;)Commenting so I can find this later.

Sounds good, I'd be glad to do some work for the both of you! ;)
Also thank to everyone else for the kind words and positive reviews. :-*

Have you heard anything about the linear zealios? Like how do they compare to blacks?
Haha. I know that background for the duck eagle!

I'm absolutely loving using it, thanks again filphil! :D
I have a very interesting project I'll be sending you in a few days ;)

This applies to everybody, if you are looking for keyboard services please fill out the form and don't just PM me. It helps me stay organized and saves me a lot of time to invoice and ship out rather than waiting for PMs.
Hey everyone, sorry about the unannounced break. I've been super busy lately and haven't had to stop by and check everything out. I will be able to start working on boards again within a few weeks. I'll be home full time then and will be able to work on them during the weekdays as well which will benefit everyone. I'm sorry I haven't been replying to any PMs. I will respond to them when I'm able to do work again. I got on just to post this. Cheers :thumb:

I'm pretty sure he "retired" from keyboards and sold most of his stuff, so I would assume he isn't going to be offering his services anymore.He keep it for me around 4 months , i remembered

He mentioned earlier he may still be offering services, but not sure.
Bummed. He had such a good collection and was fun to chat with.

I have been pondering the thought of bringing this back since my schedule is starting to ease up. I'm curious if there is still a need for keyboard services? While I was away from Geekhack and these services, I ended up falling into the audiophile community a bit. That's where I continued my soldering practices to work on re-capping old amps and energizers. Since then I had the keyboard spark reignited in me and have been tinkering on my own boards again.
Anyways if people are interested in keyboard services I'm interested in what I could do to provide better services. Would people prefer if I were to stock my own switches, springs, and lube to build boards or just allow everyone to supply their own? By stocking my own parts that also would reduce the initial shipping costs for people as it's less weight and volume to ship out to me. My goal would be the same as it was when I first started this keyboard services. I would like to keep the cost to a minimum and provide quality work so people don't have to spend an arm and a leg for their complete board.
Side Note:
As I have not been active on this thread for quite some time I'd like to just clear up the confusion of the previous posts if anyone were to be concerned with using my services, if I were to even start providing services again. I forget about this event so I went back into my messages to understand it further. The Cheat was purchased with my own funds with a verbal agreement that whenever I would have time I would fix it then sell to nguyenkimtam as the original seller of the Cheat would only ship to CONUS. This agreement was to be done as a favor and I was not going to make any money from it. As I used my own funds to acquire the board I was never in a hurry with it as I was with any customer board. That is when I left Geekhack and held onto the Cheat that I purchased for many months which ended up then being sold on the forums.

Whatever little help it may be, I can vouch for steez and his services. He helped me mod my first serious mech, and did a bang up job. I doubt I would still be in this hobby without the support and help provided from him so early on.
The situation with the cheat is nothing to worry about imho, and I hope people consider the services!
Stocking small parts in is a godsend imo. A switch modder I work with stocks springs, housings, gat tops, lube, etc. Paying him retail, or slightly more for the parts, has been much easier both in shipping cost and logistics. I'd recommend it if you're considering it.
Do you have experience with programming split boards in QMK?
