Hi there, while searching for keyboard-stuff on google i was often sent here.. so finally i decided to join this club! Till now in only was active on Reddit, since i find it hard do dive into a new community.. but no im here and ill see how it goes :).
I currently have a Ducky Shine 2 TKL with Cherry Reds for Gaming and a Pok3r with Browns and o-rings at work for coding and i'm waiting for the Gateron Blues to arrive from Taiwan so i can continue build a GH60 (already got plate and pcb, case will be selfmade out of wood). Next project will be an Ergodox.
So, i hope i can learn more about building keyboards here (until now the most important thing i learned: patience while waiting for massdrop.)

Welcome to Geekhack!
A Ducky Shine 2! Don't hear about those much any more. I have two Ducky Shine 1 :)
There's quite a few German members too, and yes, patience will serve you well :D

So how do you plan to build the case?
please share the deets

Hi, welcome. Good luck with your build! :)

My dad is a carpenter, he will help me do it. Basically i use a piece of wood and shape the pocket for the keyboard in it with a milling machine router.
Theres a good video where someone demonstrates how to do it:

Cool. That is a router.
I was curious as to what tool.
Now I know.
-

Ah yes, i didn't know the exact name of the machinem thx:). Router is what i meant, not milling machine.
-
I'd like to make a case myself, but I dont have a flat bit.
also not alot of experience with a router.
-
It's definitely a dangerous tool.. but if you get someone with a little experience with it it doesn't look to hard to build the case :)

Any problems with the LEDs?
Some people have been reporting dead LEDs with Shine 3 and 4. Both my Shine 1 have no defective LEDs, and my Shine 3 is also all good :)

Good luck on the Ergodox mate, I've got one waiting to be assembled too! Saw a guy who made a full aluminium case, which looked amazing, might be going down that route myself.
