Yet Another New Guy
« on: Thu, 18 December 2014, 12:50:31 »
Hi all! I'm an enthusiast/amateur from the Left Coast. Been on Kinesis mechanical boards for about a dozen years, got interested recently in the ErgoDox (which led me here) and the notion of fixing up my old PS2 Kinesis (Classic QD) for home (have a USB Advantage Pro at work.) There's so much more going on than I ever expected--I'm blown away by the community! 

I'm seriously wanting to either track down a Kinesis-to-Teensy board (ala https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/BwWRYP5c ) or place the order to share with others. Is this the sort of thing that happens around here?

Also hoping for Massdrop to green-light the ErgoDox (again) as that seems to be the most economic way to get that kit rolling.

Anyhow, nice to meet you all!

Ken

Welcome to Geekhack!

For something like this, you'd probably start an interest check thread first.  I'm not sure if that is covered bu the classifieds rules - you might need 25 posts and 2 months membership before you can create a new thread there.

If the IC proves popular, then you could start a group buy.

Perhaps one of the more experienced members might step in to help run it.

"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
