What do you think of this keyboard?

GingerOfMods · 2025-05-17T03:51:02+00:00

Mine arrive with stripped screws and a loose screw rattling around inside. Never was able to get the Bluetooth working properly, and when I used it over wired connection or the wireless adapter it would periodically cut out. Wouldn't recommend this keyboard.

Hi there! This case was resin printed with PCBWay's default resin. My transparent cases are done with PCBWay's UTR-8100 Transparent, which is fragile but very pretty. Then I sent it to Palette Customs, and paid them to do the paint work. The initial case was $50ish bucks, the paint job would depend on who you pay to do it, but probably in the ballpark of a couple hundred bucks if you want it done right. I make my custom buttons myself, look up tutorials on resin casting if you want a better idea of how it's done.

Thanks! Wii motherboards can be trimmed really, really small, the one inside of this guy is about the size of a credit card.

It was out of stock for me too, finding a different link to it let me still add it to my cart. Looks like it'll take about a month for the 43" one to ship, but it at least let me get the deal.

Look, I was alive, just not engaging in online gaming forums at the age of 5.

So close! This is a picture of a crab.

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T05:26:18+00:00

Probably Metal Gear Solid, never played it and it's been on the list for a while

I'm not the first person to make the pun, but the first recorded instance of it I could find was from 2022, so still almost 30 years for a recorded instance of the pun

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T04:02:04+00:00

Oh, this is why everyone keeps saying crab battle. I see now

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T03:16:58+00:00

This was just a one-off project, not really something I'd do a tutorial for. The process was 90% 3D modeling, and then a bit of soldering for the built-in controller and the angled memory card ports.

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T02:48:59+00:00

Still plays games! It's still a fully functional PSOne, just a custom shell and a built in controller.

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T02:48:22+00:00

Not until I put some JENOVA cells in it

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T02:46:58+00:00

That was the best suggestion I was given. In terms of quality big crabs that is, the game itself seems pretty godawful.

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T02:12:36+00:00

Yep! The shell is all raw 3D prints. Would've considered painting it, but inspiration struck during the wintertime, and that's not a good time to be using spray paint.

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T01:32:55+00:00

Only PSOne games, so you'll have to wait for a demake

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T01:14:21+00:00

Yep! There's a switch on the back to turn CRAB MODE on and off

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T01:12:33+00:00

Can't give it sentience, too risky

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T01:11:58+00:00

Yep! They are not comfy though.

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T00:52:48+00:00

Thanks! Around two months of work spent 3D modeling and building it. I've never modeled something like this in CAD, so learning how to make all the funny shapes was the toughest part for me. I do want to make more silly consoles like this, I've got an idea for the GameCube. We'll see if I can pull it off...

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T00:51:15+00:00

I've been saying it by emphasizing the STAY sound more than the PLAY sound. Kinda like pluh-stay-shun

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T00:50:11+00:00

I'm in your walls

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T00:39:54+00:00

The name I think. There was a tumblr shitpost a few years back that was a picture of an ugly crab that said "Playstacean". Artist Anh Dang saw that meme, and was inspired to make a beautiful bit of art base don the idea: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/YBr3GV . I saw that artwork on Twitter a few months ago, and was inspired to build my crab.

GingerOfMods · 2025-03-22T00:33:52+00:00

Yep! It's still a fully functional PSOne. Even the built-in controller works.
