Ciao everybody
« on: Thu, 03 March 2016, 11:57:00 »
Hey there

my name is Francesco, I'm from Rome (Italy) and I am currently studying Classical Language. From the first time I mooved from a membrane keyboard to my first mech (a pok3r with MX reds) I just can't go back. Right now I would like to make my own keyboard (yes, it will have a custom layout, I thought it will be the only way to have my keyboard), so in the process of gathering informations I found this community that looks awsome.

Peace

Welcome :D I'm not exactly sure if you want to create your own PCB or just put together a board with different parts from different websites but there are plenty of options either way. You probably have access to a few PCBs us Americans don't see too often :p

Welcome to Geekhack!

One benefit of having your own custom layout is that no-one else can use it effectively.

But one down side is that if it ever breaks, you'd be stuck going back to a conventional layout and struggling to remember how to type on it.

What aspects of the conventional layout do you dislike?

"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
