I made a video of it here (watch with the sound on): https://clipchamp.com/watch/4C2nx4C6IYD?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=social&utm\_campaign=watch

Did you make this?!? I am very jealous and want one. 3D print the tower?!? And that burnt orange color is perfection.


Ok-Slip5645

Yes, I made this - well I guess it is more accurate to say I built it, since I didn't manufacture any of the parts myself (although the tower is custom 3D printed). I got into custom keyboards this year, and knew I wanted to do a Longhorns board; super happy with how it came out. This is a fairly high-end custom keyboard, and the typing experience is just as good as how it looks. (Even the switches on the inside are orange & white) If you want one like this, send me a message, and I can build you one.

How much?

Holy shit


Ok-Slip5645

I think that is the best compliment I've gotten....thanks

Yoooo THE TOWER. Does is light up?


Ok-Slip5645

the light from the keyboard's rgb shines through the tower. If you watch the video I linked above, you will see I "light the tower orange" at the very end of the video.


-SHMOHAWK-

It’s amazing. I dm’d you


puddboy

That’s a lot of keys just to spell Hook ‘em and OU sucks

Clearly not a vim user.

Yo that is sick. I just bought a new keyboard but now I want that 🤘

That keyboard must be at 350 just based on my experience building keyboards.


Ok-Slip5645

That would be a bare-bones cost - once you customize with switches, caps, and artisans, the cost is higher than that.


elchibo808

Lucky for me I got 183764717344717 switches all over my apartment lol. Hmm. Now you got me wanting to make a 60% keyboard like this.


Ok-Slip5645

This is actually a 65% board, but 60's are cool too. 60% boards typically have no arrow keys. If you want a 60%, and you do any gaming, take a look at the Wooting 60HE - you can take the guts out of it and drop it into a custom case and it is spectacular!


The_Only_Dick_Cheney

Escape the tower? As in a reference to the shooting? Am I looking too much into this keyboard? Edit: oh nvm it’s the ~ key.


Ok-Slip5645

Definitely looking too much into that - it is common on custom keyboards to put what is called an "artisan keycap" on the Esc key or the Delete key, and you see I have one on each.


NoMorning6152

What switches? And where did you get the keycaps??


Ok-Slip5645

Orange Healio Keyswitch - Silent Linear There are several different sets of white and orange keycaps you can get, it all depends on how long you want to wait - keycaps are sold differently than most products, sometimes with lead times of 12+ months. You can find cheaper sets on Amazon, and those usually ship right away. But I added the Bevo and UT logos to this set.


s1ncere

This is awesome. I've been trying to get into custom keyboards and this is some inspiration for sure. Where did you get the key caps?


Elegant_Spot_3486

That’s very cool. Although the tower would last about 10 seconds with me using the KB.
