[QUOTE="Mohit Garg, post: 1997001, member: 39457"] Well, after my last custom keyboard ([url]https://www.techenclave.com/community/threads/ergodox-keyboard.152051/[/url]), I wanted to do something different and hence I created this very funky and unique keyboard with a bit of inspiration. Because rectangular keyboards are boring I made a Magic School Bus inspired case in dedication of the great book/TV series that it was and integral part of my childhood. [CENTER][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/wsbrrV3.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/2x2atuK.png[/IMG][/CENTER] The inspiration for the funky case from this great keyboard: [URL='http://www.amazon.com/Little-Tikes-kidBoard-PC/dp/B00002NDQY']Amazon.com: Little Tikes: kidBoard - PC: Video Games[/URL]. At the time of inception, Team Redline had started a GB for Leeku's 1800 PCBs, so I jumped on and got the PCB and decided on the design. I needed a black and yellow set, preferably double-shot, the Bumble Bee GB by Kepop had just come to the end of ordering, however they made an exception and even semi-sponsored the set. Thank you very very much! From then on, I had a blast building the case and the keyboard, it took some time as I had holidays, GBs, uni and what not, but it is complete and I am loving and so does everyone else who sees it at my place :D I'm loving the layout as this was the first time I got to try it and I must say it is excellent. PCB: Leeku 1800 from GB run by Team RedLine Switches: Ghetto-greens, 80g springs from Originative in blue switches Stabs: PCB Stabs Layout: 1800 layout Material: All layers are cast acrylic, yellow, white, smoke, red, black, clear Keycaps: Bumble Bee DCS set from GB by Keypop who semi-sponsored this set for my keyboard. Thank you once again!
