[WTB/WTT] Ergodox case/plate & PCB - need LH only
« on: Fri, 04 July 2014, 10:42:23 »
I want to make a custom gamepad from a LH Ergodox.  I have Teensies, switches, and keycaps galore, but no case, plate or PCB.

Dorkvader's awesome custom gaming keypad!

I can do hard-wiring or PCB, so really I need any working combination of some or all of a LH Ergodox PCB, plate, and/or case.  I do not need a fully-assembled pair of Ergodox keyboards.  (A matched pair of LH and RH plates or PCBs would be fine.)

I can pay cash OR trade something from my very large collection of interesting keycaps,  keyboards, and keyboard/PC-related products.

Please let me know if you have or know where to get such an item!

Thanks very much,

I like keyboards and case modding.  Everything about a computer should be silent -- except the KEYBOARD!

Hey, I would recommend getting the supplies from czarek on Deskthority, if he still has things available.  According to the thread, his up-to-date supply list has all the things you need.  It might be more expensive than other methods, but seems like a good source.

Finding a person to let go of one half of their keyboard might be a little difficult.
Wish I had some gif or quote for this space, but I got nothing

Thanks very much for the tip.  I'll check it out and contact him.

why don't you ask Dorkvader? He built half an ergodox, so presumably he has another half
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.
