I ordered from McMaster a while back, however they said that they couldn't deliver to people unless they were a company or something along those lines.
Is it possible to handmake traces in clear acrylic or other see through materials as a PCB?

What is an HID Liberation Device? A product from a company? A industry standard? I don’t get it.

What's the best way to fix a busted trace on a pcb? As far as I can tell there's just a tiny exposed piece of copper, but the LEDs it connects to don't light up.

As far as I can tell there's just a tiny exposed piece of copper, but the LEDs it connects to don't light up. Personally I would just grab a small wire and follow the trace to another spot and light up the led that way. Or you could try a conductive writing pen.
Is this paracord good for making cables? I need to replace my broken one http://www.ebay.com/itm/550-Paracord-Mil-Spec-Type-III-7-strand-parachute-cord-25ft-50ft-100-ft-/380718097522?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item58a4912472
It may depend on the size of the cable. I am using 28/24 cables (24 gauge power and 28 gauge data) and I don't think paracord will fit over it. I know that paracord is often very tight.I have been using this and I am very pleased with the results. It is plastic though, not paracord...

That stuff isn't bad, but it's worth spending a little more on some Bitspower, Kobra HD, or MDPC.
Would the function keys on a realforce tkl board have any use on a mac?
On my mac I just use what is there, like the brightness and volume controls. Will those work on the Realforce? Otherwise what would the function keys do or is there a way to program them to do something?

In the system preferences you can set function keys also.

Sorry, my bad. It works fine on the computer... Wasn't working on my phone for some reason.

Still looking for KBC or Ducky Blank Black PBT keycaps, anyone sees anything in stock anywhere? 60% alu plate anywhere in stock?
60% alu plate anywhere in stock?
Quote from: nukec on Fri, 04 July 2014, 03:02:1360% alu plate anywhere in stock?Does it have to be aluminum? I think Imsto has some stainless steel plates as well. But I'm not sure I've seen many aluminum 60% plates.
I just received my new white PBT keycaps, but space key is bent as you can see in the pic. For using it works perfectly, but still would be nice to have it straight, I wonder is it possible to straighten it somehow or not really?Show Image
