Greetings

I not exactly new, but I am a new poster at GH. I am a fairly new keyboard enthusiast in his mid 40's. I wanted to build a custom keyboard and stumbled into DT a while back doing some research and kind of found a home there although I visit GH as well. My interest has taken me to the point of the extreme and will soon be producing my own keycaps through a small injection molding company focused on construction components, reproduction auto parts, and short run souvenirs I am in the process of opening. I look forward to participating more regularly here at GH over the next few months.

Welcome Scott! It's nice to see a familiar handle here.

I too am a relatively infrequent GH poster. Perhaps we can both start being more active here.

For those who don't know: rsbseb is up to some really neat things. I won't steal his thunder, but, be excited!

Welcome to Geekhack!

Not many people have ready access to injection molding equipment - if you are able to produce something along the lines of keycaps, be prepared for a lot of interest ;)
"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
