"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

Your anodizing turned out great. Any chance of a how-to in the making stuff together sub forum?

Also any rough estimate of what you might charge for anodizing services?

Thanks everyone! I will try and document my next run.  I may offer this service regularly in the future, but I'm just a little strapped for time.  The anodizing setup I have is more for larger parts, so it ended up costing me a lot in materials just to do this keyboard. :/  I might try and fit in a few trial runs of anodizing for you guys, I just can't promise that it's going to be inexpensive. But I can promise that it'll come out great!

EDIT: Also, I shot you a PM Dan about something else..

Already commented elsewhere, but this is brilliant!  I'd love something similar myself if I ever finally afford an aluminum case.

Red LZ-GH 86 key
White LEDs
55g Clears with white stickers and EK Mechlube2
Klaxon RoG




I've got to say I'm pretty disappointed with how this came out.  The LEDs are the weakest I've ever seen on a keyboard.  Also the Pause key doesn't work unless I'm also pressing the PgUp or PgDdn key.  Finally even though I'm no stranger to keyboard builds, all the stabilized keys stick and the rest of the keys don't even feel that smooth.

On top of that, the firmware/keymapper is very hard to use.  I submit that a manual shouldn't even be necessary to be able to use a keymapper.  Not only is this unintuitive but it also contains bugs and lacks an english manual.  meh.

My red has really grown on me. I hated the color at one point. I do want to swap out my Klaxon set for something a lot darker.

It does look rather pink in some light.  Really, I'd be much happier if the LEDs were brighter.  It's lame.  Also TRiKer is lame.

That sux. I'm so glad I just plugged mine into my iMac and everything worked perfectly. No programming or software of any kind. And the LEDs are all bright. Did you do the resistors yourself?

I think I'm going to pre-fill a restraining order and send it to you. Because between your access to a paint room and your anodizing kit, I have a feeling I'm going to start stalking you.  :))

Your photos are amazing and the board is completely bananas. I thought that you had built that up for the Miami set, not the SoWare. Amazing.

Is that board full LED?

thanks mashby <3! I was just waiting on the soware set to get  here.  I'm not a huge fan of LED's so i left them off.

Meaning you didn't install them, or that you just don't use them? Because if you installed them, then I'd love to see that bad boy lit up.  :eek:

I didn't install any. I will consider :)
