What did you add to your Keyboard today? - Post Your Pics

[Photoelectric]

Yes, you're right

whoa whoa im not no damn art school student

I thought you were pulling a Lady Gaga though and living your whole life as if it were an art piece.  Well that bubble's been burst.

Rockler's offerings are cheaper than what I found on-line for pre-cut stuff, considering I'd have to pay for shipping.  I haven't found anything cheaper locally yet   It's not too bad, considering lots of pieces are pre-cut to the exact dimensions I needed--just had to do a bunch of sanding.  There might be something though--lots of businesses in the area.

Edit:  Forgot to add this photo.  Rainbow army I spent much of today casting.  Still not done with all the different permutations, but part of my mold broke, so I had to cast another.  I'm making two molds, so I should go much faster when I start again.

Yeah, take a look for some places around you.  There definitely have to be some with a decent stock of domestic and exotic hardwoods.  I just know that I pay 50%-100% more for wood at Rockler than my other local supplier.  Rockler is great for some things, but man can they be expensive.

Thank's to the user mm87, I finally got my first blanks set. They are imsto's thick pbt and they are awesome

[gojira54]

Thanks - I had a lucky break finding the WYSE board, the caps on that are very nice.
Need more GMK!

They probably are what you suspect they are, but shhh, don't say what it is. I deliberately went full potato on the picture.  I'm still working out some kinks and really need a vacuum chamber for the silicone and pressure pot for the resin to get rid of some of the small bubbles that pop up in some of the pours.

Kelly green seems to be a fairly decent spectrum of greens, but if you point out which one you meant, it's yours.

Nice Esc collection

[Puddsy]

WOW! Those are sick nubs.

[JaccoW]

Put Ivan's Miami Odessa Remix LE on my Keycool today even though I am using the Déck right now. Sweet looking set, especially with the DDR keys.
In real life the contrast is not as hard as it seems here but I am always shooting pictures under bad light.

I bet this one:

[nubbinator]

WOW! Those are sick nubs.

Thanks.  And you haven't seen non-potato yet.  They are fun, I just like projects and experimenting and trying new things.  Not to mention trying to figure out a bunch of colors when your dyes are blue, yellow, red, and black makes it even more fun.

I bet this one:

Probably, but some descriptions of kelly green are the same as the one next to it.   The one you circled is closer to what I'd call a forest green.  Of course, if you want me to get crazy, I could pull out my dad's Pantone books from when he was a printer/for current print jobs and tell you the Panton color of it.

[MOZ]

I might be wrong, it might be the other one based on this:

Yup, Moz is correct.  My lips are sealed :-X.  I agree that the color is closer to forest green, but close enough for me seeing as I have multiple shades of green on it already.  Oh, and that is killer that you are making your colors from the base colors.  Excited to see more results. 

Trying to put as much green on the board as I can.   :thumb:  Current setup has the green mods from Tai Hao.  Not quite perfect with the sp shift, but decent.

If that is an unmodified dolch board then it is vintage blues which I find feel a bit better than the more modern blues that are being produced today.

Thanks to yicaoyimu for the TEX case! Just waiting on my Hyper Fuse caps now.

[davkol]

Replaced nuts on my ergodox... no more scratching. The tape is temporary until I get a better case.

[unicomp_uc]

From stock Filco Minila to these DSA PBT's. Don't know which combo I like best (annoying double post... sorry)

Where did you get those? And is that pbt or abs?

Nubs has right.  PBT from Feng.  The HK keys are from various novelty sales.

How thick is the PBT?

[metalliqaz]

It's thin PBT.  Not particularly high quality, but the colors are fantastic.  Very pastel in person.

... If you're in to that sort of thing
