Title: working on my first build
Post by: loganville on Mon, 21 March 2016, 18:41:50

About two years ago I caved and bought the kinesis advantage. Now that I'm able to work remotely I've been wanting something a bit more portable for traveling. Lots of digging around and I decided to build an ergodox and then decided to make a custom wooden case for it. Been stalking around these forums for awhile and figured I should probably join.

Welcome! Excited to see what you come up with. I'm also planning on doing an Ergodox build this year.

Sweet. I took my semi completed build to my alma mater. The chair of the department wanted me to talk to the current women in computer science group (we do exist). So I figured I'd bring the keyboard. They got super excited and are now building one. I think eventually they will make mods to it since they can print their own boards in house.

Welcome! I noticed the Ergodox while browsing Massdrop. By the end of the day I was watching Tested's and Whitefiredragon's Ergodox build videos. Fun stuff.

Welcome to Geekhack!

I see you have created a making stuff together thread already.

As well as posting pictures there, there is a post your Ergodox (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=42772.0) thread where you're more than welcome to post it too (and glance at a few others that people have made, if you haven't already).

Nothing better than sharing the keyboard love! It's a great feeling getting someone to convert to a mechanical keyboard.
