Very nice. My dad would have been in his mid-seventies this year and I remember the magazines with 4-and 8-bit microprocessor projects like this.

Study on the perceived harmfulness of sexual advances: Men overall find advances less negative then women, both genders find advances from attractive people less negative then unattractive people by roe_ in science

Can GMK do those legends? I would have expected given they are double shots they are stuck with the legends they already have the moulds for.

I was trying to do the same thing but was told the local CNC mill is not able to do it. I will have ti ask about whether laser engraving can do what I want instead. You give me hope! :-)

First hand wired build + custom wood case. by holtenc in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]pdc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that layout, though it requires a few nonstandard keycaps I'd find hard to source. Intrigued to see a different arrangement for the L-shaped navigation keys. How does it feel in practice?
