Introduction
« on: Sun, 17 August 2014, 08:50:48 »
Hello, my name is Dvoryke and I am not really that new to keyboards as I am GeekHack. I am actually from /r/MechanicalKeyboards, so not really my first time on a keyboard forums either. What I like to do is make keyboard related accessories. Earlier this month I began making and selling Lego keycaps, which I am still doing. I have also began making hand made keyboard carrying cases. I am actually working with someone to get those sorted out so they are not for sale yet. Yet another thing I am working on is organizing a GB, I have come up with a design and it is ready for production, I simply need it to be made is all. I currently have a Corsair K70 that I broke while I was making Lego keycaps with super glue, and a Poker II that I recently got.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Lego keycaps (and keyboard cases) are rather popular:

If you are planning on starting a Lego keycap GB, I suspect you will get a fair bit of interest (tempered by caution as you are a new member on GH).
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
