Had this aluminum plate laser cut a few months back and hand-wired it with Box Navies and a RPi Pico, and oiled oak for the sides. I missed my numpad, though, so I used my own laser cutter and made an external one from Masonite and textured spraypaint.

Hello,

I have a standalone numpad

with these keys.

https://drop.com/buy/drop-holy-panda-x-mechanical-switches?defaultSelectionIds=967407

Any suggestions for where I can get a keycap set for these? I want JUST the numpad keycaps, I dont want to replace my keycaps for my main keyboard.

Just finished up this one. No-stabilizers, handwired custom 98% layout. 3D printed case and feet, plate laser cut from 3.2mm Masonite, blank XDA laser dye-subbed in a Josefin Sans Medium font. Not exactly professional fit and finish, but it types nice with Box Jades, and ZERO STAB RATTLE! ZERO!!!

[Jelly Key][In-stock sale] Pillow Craft Artisan Keycaps

https://www.jellykey.com/artisan-keycaps/pillow-craft

The keycaps have already been produced and are ready to be shipped within 7 business days. This represents Jelly Key’s new In-stock sales approach, which differs from a Groupbuy.
Purchasing 6 or more keycaps qualifies for free shipping. Options will be exhausted and restocked without prior notice.

“Every night, as I rest my head on the comforting softness of my pillow, a thought recurs: what if this comfort level could be part of my everyday life, not just at night? This question sparked the inspiration for my latest design. It’s an attempt to capture the essence of that soothing experience. The pillow’s surface, smooth and pleasing texture, was my primary inspiration. Amazingly, something so simple can bring such a profound sense of relaxation.

I use a different layout to type, but I'd like to be able to have my physical layout reflect what I'm actually typing. The problem is that moving the F and J keys to where they should be means the home row would be missing the tactile bumps, and I use those to recenter my hands when I'm not looking. I'd like to add keycaps for different letters that have tactile bumps.

Do those type of keys have a name? I really don't know what to search for; "tactile keys" just returns rubber or textured keycaps (which, maybe the latter is a last resort). I'm open to alternatives.

Edit: Thanks, everyone! I have now learned they're called "homing keys," and they can have raised portions like bars, or a more recessed scoop.

I bought this Keychron V3 barebones kit with some nice keycaps and Kailh Speed Pro Heavy Plum switches (70g tactile). I did the bandaid mod and the tape mod.

I tried it with linear 40g Keychron switches first but it felt and sounded weird. The full black keyboard is almost ominous and requires heavier actuation for the full experience of it to be consistent. So these tactile 70g Kailhs are perfect. The sound is more dampened because the keystrokes don't bottom out as hard, but it's also more crisp because of the barely-noticeable tactile bump. It feels like I'm writing on stone somehow. It's really a unique typing experience.

I guess the "keyboard enthusiast" trajectory is one of escalation because I've graduated to the barebones kits and I'm dreaming of fully customized boards now.

EDIT: This was supposed to be a photo post but the photo didn't work.

Well it's officially Q4 and if WW3 doesn't break out I should receive the TKD Cycle 7 this year.

I need linear switches and some stabs, what are the best recommendations?

Aside from a screwdriver and pullers, I don't have other specialised tools..what else do I need?

I have a Leopold FC660C which is my primary keyboard at home.

I bought it lightly used several years back. It is bone stock, and I'm every bit as big a Topre fanboy as anyone you have ever met since owning it. (It prompted me to get a 980C and 104 key Realforce also)

I consider the FC660C and 980C my endgame boards, as new purchases stopped in their tracks after that, BUT:

The mini-usb port on the FC660C is a little bit wonky. I don't think the port itself is loose, I think there's a pin within it that's slightly out of whack. I often have to plug and unplug it several times before I can get it to receive power and work, independently of what system I'm plugging it into or what cable I use.

Are there reasonable mods out there (either to do myself or pay a reasonable fee for someone to do) which could accomplish one or the other of these:

• Replace with USB-C
• Add wireless capability

I learned awhile ago that folks often replace the controller boards, but I don't know the full spectrum of likely options, nor whether that is overkill to just get a properly functioning port.

I'm also open to just having the mini-usb port replaced, but I figure if I'm going that route I may as well modernize it a bit.

Any thoughts or opinions?

Not my first mech keyboard, but definately my first custom keyboard and my first ortholinear. Picked it up during the DefCon conference this weekend.

I am looking for replacement for this standard keycap with windows icon. I would like ro get something with linux iron. I prefer backlit. I can buy also whole keycaps set with nice super key. I was searching whole internet and always it was only sticker with linux or out of stock.
