Hello!
I've had the bug for a little while now. I started with purchases of cheap and then nice mechanical keebs. I did some keycap and configuration modification to those. Then I restored a 1981 model M, which I love and use at work. Then I progressed to builds with a keebio bdn9 3x3 macropad, then a maypad numbpad which is currently sitting beside my Vortex Core 40% in the tray left when I took out the garbage membrane keyboard on my ThinkPad laptop.
I currently have a Keebio Nyquist kit with Cherry Blues that I have not yet built. I got a Royal 2001 typewriter delivered today. I've pulled out the keyboard with early Cherry M9 switches (3 with red leds) and super heavy round sculpted keycaps. That will be part of a hand wired keeb. I've drilled the rivets out on the PCB and I will use the remaining rivet tube as standoffs. It has a thick steel plate for the switch mounts. I'm not sure how the desoldering will go since the switches seem tight in their plate so I won't be able to pull them as I desolder with my iron and sucker.
I HATE the price of good keycaps. The typewriter shipped was less than half the cost of a Nuclear base kit from PMK.
I like the DSA profile caps.
I carved a walnut key to replace the "Win" key on my Vortex Core because I am all about Linux.
I hope to learn a lot from people that know much more than I do. It was a typewriter keyboard conversion from @Masterchief79 that brought me here.
TL/DR: Hello and I love buying/modding/restoring/building keebs and I love Linux.
