Now that my collection is gone and shipped out to eager eBayers and Geekhackers, what else is there to do? I have the Topre 86U at home and an Alps slim line (crap) keyboard at work, and they are both good keyboards for their usage, but considering the roads I've traveled, I feel like it's not enough. I think I need a project keyboard and a keyboard only for writing.
I'd like to remain faithful to Topre for my writing needs, so that's not what I'm concerned about.
That leaves the project keyboard.
What should I do? I'd like to do some sort of Alps keyboard mod, maybe something in blue and pink sliders on the same keyboard, but what should I use as a base? I am really into the layout of the Torpe 86 so that would be my first choice, but I would be good with an Apple Adjustable or an SMK85 for this mod. I don't know what to do, so leave me some suggestions, but mind you — I'm no Sandy, Chloe, lowpoly or anyone else like that. I can swap switches with the tool Sandy and Lam47 gave me (thanks to both of you, BTW
), I have a guy who can do some soldering, and my brothers can help me with light case modding, but that is about it.
So I guess I need help, or at least some direction. What do you think I should do?
