Finish the numberpad attatchment for my 75%+1 Danger Zone keyboard, and then figure out how to get the numberpad to communicate with the main keyboard, where it can be hot attached/detached. Firmware is my nemesis.

I also wanna build another 75%+1 layout keyboard to mount directly into my Kerbal Space Program instrument panel's control panel. I was just gonna have a slot that the Danger Zone could slide into, but after seeing the glow in the dark Godspeed Minuteman set, I said screw it, I'm just building another keyboard, I guess! I plan to underweight it with some low intensity UV LEDs, in order to excite the green glow. Testing looks good! :))



Only thing holding back that build, is the plate (also, muh time!). Honestly, I would much prefer to get a plate made that is anodized some variant of green, like an olive drab, or some similar industrial green that fits somewhere between aerospace instrument panel and Kerbal explosion simulator. I currently have a spare black plate, but I really am not feeling it. Need to get myself in on another group buy maybe?

My current plan is to chill on keyboard buying for myself, but get more boards for friends and family, as some of them have complaints that are keyboard related and I've got a big enough switch tester to get a rough idea what they like.

This year I got two IBM style 122 boards, a Unicomp M122 and an original F122, they both sit on my desk and take up tons of space, so I'd like to get a bigger desk to handle both of those and a monitor.

(I have them both because I like to switch ergonomics from lower than my elbows to higher than my elbows throughout the day and this is a quite a dirty, space consuming way of doing that.)

I also need to find a good home on one of my other computers for a Unicomp M with trackball that got kicked out of my office, since my mac pro isn't all that happy with it whenever I connect it.

Unicomp M122 - Unicomp Classic Trackball - IBM Model M13 - IBM Model F122 - IBM Model F Bigfoot - IBM Model F AT - Ducky Shine 3 Yellow
