Blue Steel: Custom Keyboard Project
31 May 2015 |
from the anime Arpeggio of Blue Steel
Alright so in the coming weeks, I should recieve all the parts I need (less the keycaps) to get started on building my keyboard. It will be a 75% keyboard similar in layout to a Duck Octagon, no LEDs, and made of stainless steel. Handwired, because I was so fickle minded with the layout that I bought the teensy instead.
I would probably be waiting for the Penumbra Round 2 keycaps from [CTRL]ALT to go with the keyboard as well.
