|topic=Collecting and experimenting with mechanical switches and keycaps to find or create the ultimate keyboard.

|startdate=04.05.2017

Zeile 22:

Around mechanical keyswitches, a community of enthusiasts has developed, who collect them and keyboards featuring them. Technologies around them, like keycaps and backlighting are also explored. These people like to try out different haptics, some in order to come up with their ultimate keyboard (although the personal definition of the ultimate keyboard might also be situational, for example you don't want to use a loud clicky keyboard in a library). For others, this has also become a numismatics-like obsession, so they collect various different types to get a complete collection of all the types that are available.

=== Meetups ===

Bring your own keyboards!

Note that all of these machining methods with the exception of injection molding are readily available at metalab.

Cases usually also include a plate to hold the keyswitches in place. This is usually a laser-cut aluminium plate. These we can't produce at metalab, but they [http://lasergist.com/laser-cut-custom-keyboards/ can be ordered], or you can buy a standard one if you don't want a special layout.

We can't cut it with the laser but we can mill it with the [[Geil-o-mat]]), but they [http://lasergist.com/laser-cut-custom-keyboards/ can be ordered], or you can buy a standard one if you don't want a special layout.

Keycaps can also be modified by lubing them (making them more silent) and adding o-rings for dampening purposes.

Some people make their own keycaps, but most of the time, they're bought from some merchant. There are also hand-made keycaps that are called "Artisan Keycaps", which don't serve any real purpose other than to look cool.
