Title: Hello Geekhack!
Post by: tarkat on Sun, 21 February 2016, 16:42:02
Hello to all. I am new to geekhack but experienced in mechanical keyboards, I make artesian 60% cases and will start taking orders for those as well as GON and winkeyless builds.
I am excited to be an active member of this community and make a reputation for myself among you all!

Here is an example of my work:

Welcome to Geekhack!

That's pretty cool :)

Is it a wooden base with acrylic sides?  I don't think I've seen anyone do that before.

Yes it is! Trying to do something different to get out there. I have another keyboard in stock, it's a GON 60 with the same case as you see there. Trying to sell it for $350 but I don't have enough posts to go on classfields :(

Yeah, you need 50 (is it?) posts and 2 months membership.

You could make a thread in making stuff together (https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=117.0) to show how you do it, and get people talking about it ...

The acrylic is for side leds

However, I will definitely do some wood +aluminium work in the near future. Look out for it.
