deskthority

Received this wrist rest in the mail this week and took some pics of it with my Corsa

it goes quite nicely together. Love the color scheme on that KB. Is one of the CTRLs act as Fn key? Nice ... now you need a desk to match your wrist rest

Really nice looking! Good job

Thanks for posting, I was just wondering today where to get high quality wooden wrist rests.

Shame you won't be able to get one of these easily..

It was a group buy on otd.kr, and only a few lucky sods outside Korea got one. Billnye and I are two of them..

That's a bummer

Do you know an alternative?

I'm looking for a pale rest. There are the Filco and KBPs, but they have a logo on the front, which I'm not really a fan of.

I know a guy that problably could make custom wrist rest in wood. He's a well educated furniture maker/carpenter.
If you want I can have a talk with him about it. Thinking of asking him to make a custom wodden case for a 75% board.
His site:

EDIT:
Love that case! And the wrist rest goes extremely well with it.

Oh my

Now I want one for my SSK...

Thank you

Both of the Controls act as Control, and the Caps Lock acts as Win. I don't really need a Fn key for anything I use this board for.

I've been working on some hardwood wrist rests for myself. Might sell them if there is some interest. Curly maple though not elm like the OP. I have plenty of it. I've been experimenting with dyes and stabilization to help with durability.

How can I join a group buy on OTD as a foreigner?

So you and billnye are Koreans ? How do you get an OTD board ? I would like at some point to get a 356 Mini, what's the secret ?

I wonder this too! How do you acquire otd stuff (unless you'd want to pay the mark up to someone who got it from a GB in the first place)?

We don't join the group buys.. We get them afterwards. "Contacts"

Basically "I know a guy who knows a guy" system. Well I have to find a guy

So sick

look good with the 360c
I still think my 456gt with marble wrist rest look better

I have one question, do you also use these expensive boards?
I had a talk yesterday with a Korean friend and realized that I DO NOT WANT EVER A 356 mini , wobbly plate, PS2 only and crappy programming options for only $700-$800 , that is quite a deal

Well I used the 360c until I got my MX5000.. It's my second favourite keyboard behind that one. I like PS2 and have no need for reprogramming, so it's perfect for me.

Why this no work with playstation 4? Does it work PS3 with BC?

That's the best looking wrist rest I've seen in a while. Nice.

On TKL yes, you don't need programming, when I use my SSK I don't feel like I need to change anything, but on a 60% it's like a Poker X with a fancy case and huge price-tag.

Edit:lately I make so many typing mistakes, damn ...

On which board? Let's analyse this!

On all of them, SSK, now on HHKB, also on the MX ones... I think I'm tired and my light form if Dyslexia kicks in big time

Ah nuts. I think you're going to need a DataHand, just to be sure…

I think you have a point! I'll put it on the list next to an overpriced Clack

Joke aside, DataHand is a really interesting board, I would love to test one some day.

even if it were possible, I don't need any layer programming on my SSK or my FIlco TKL. The layout is near perfect. Now on my HHKB2 that's a different story. Imagine HHKB2 without the FN option. Not so great that perspective.

This is exactly what I mean. Spending 700-800$ on a 356 Mini 60% with limited programming options is crazy. On my SSK or on my wife's 1800 I don't care about Fn layer, It would be nice to have Control on Caps Lock but I can live without that.

well 700-800$ on anything isn't an option for me anyhow. But at that pricetag it better have all the bells and whistles. Even that Monterey mini touch I got from webwit has an FN layer.
