Hey everyone. I picked up my first mech board last February. A Das 4 Ultimate with MX Browns. Since then I picked up an identical DAS for my board at the office.
I have been reading up and decided I wanted a board that was good for on the go and decided I am ready to try a 60% board. I just jumped on this DIY kit over on massdrop
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/sentraq-60-diy-keyboard-kit as well as this wooden case
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/pok3r-wood-case which should make for a nice on the go experience. This will be my first excursion into building a keyboard so I am pretty excited.
I also have been considering the idea of a mechanical "media center" board for my living room. At the moment i have a logitec k400
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Keyboard-Built-In-Multi-Touch/dp/B005DKZTMG for this duty but thought it would be sweet if I could give this thing mechanical switches. Plus I cant stand the placement of the right shift key so I want to move the physical location of some of the keys around too.
Looking around the internet I see there are plenty of logitec controller hacks so I feel like this is feasible. I'm wondering if anyone has done this before and included the touchpad? I obviously would need a new case to fit the mechanical switches in... I was thinking maybe I could wire it up and use a tkl size plate in a fullsize case and then mount the touchpad where the tenkey would normally go... Anyway, this is a project for the future once I get the first DIY under my belt. But any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
