Seeing as how I can't put these nice new keycaps on the new keyboard, I put them on the old keyboard instead.

And they're very nice! They're the sort that come in two parts, a blank base and a clear lens, and you print out or write a wee label to sandwich between them. They're intended for commercial equipment and cash registers and things like that but they're actually very nice to just straight-up type on. They're made by a company called X-Keys IIRC.

Keyboard Fiddling Thread update: I guess I've gone from "Split keyboards are cool, maybe I'll buy one" to "Let's learn FreeCAD" in what, a week?

@ifixcoinops I don't suppose I could interest you in building musical instrument keyboards? I should write this up more, but here's a project I was working on: github.com/skybrian/accordions

@skybrian if I didn't already have a workshop full of broken pinball machines, a website full of cats to herd, a four-year-old asking for her own email account and a head full of typing keyboard ideas, I'd say sure! :P
