29 Gateron boxes, 29,000 switches held.

Rip, should've kept my other switch boxes and built an empire with them.

That is a 50 key model M

Kinda like this

http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/9523/subcatid/0/id/474394

but mine came with reledgendable key caps. I had it hooked up to a teensy with soarers and used if for stuff like launching programs and copy, paste shortcuts etc. and a numpad as I was using an SSK at the time.

oh my god I love it. I'd love to do something like that, hooking up a teensy and making like a custom-controller for specific software.

Oh wow thanks for that.

Dude that is so freakin awesome - you must feel like you're in a control-center. Are the /b/ /g/ /x/ 4chan boards?
The custom controller is sick too, cheers for the photos, gives me some good ideas! :D

Yeah I'm a huge fan of HHKB's, feel like a board specific to the software I use could be really useful :D
Experimenting with creating my own PCB + enclosure for a small little controller :3

That sounds pretty cool custom is always good especially when it is tailored to your specific needs.
