Hey! Marshall here from Skree LLC. I’m so very lazy at posting advertisements and community updates but I figured I should get off my butt and do something.

So I’ve been at this for about a year. The rave reviews and many customers turned friends I’ve made leads me to assume my work is at least of pretty good quality! I make only wireless builds unless you want something specifically custom.

My dactyls can be ordered with whatever switches you want, they’re all hotswap too! I produce custom keycaps to your specifications, including font, format, size, position, etc!

I’ve got lots of new stuff on the horizon! Choc dactyls, choc flexible pcbs, custom MCU-breakout boards that allow for near ZERO soldering thanks to the use of FPC and JST cables! Just assembled a pick and place machine for all custom pcb manufacturing!

You can check out my reviews, customer photos, and work at SKREE.us or etsy.com/shop/TheBigSkree

If you want any custom work at all let me know! I’m always looking for fun projects!

PS: If you want kinesis board work, be it foam, switchs changed, or even repairs I’m far quicker and have no “lead time” like the current other options!

    Dude, these look awesome! I have been mulling over whether to build my own or purchase pre-assembled. I thought I landed on making my own, but I guess I need to revisit the idea after looking at your Etsy shop. If you don’t mind my asking, how did you make that transparent one? The design I have been planning requires a black semi transparent body and I have been fearing print lines. Your transparent one looks almost as if it was injection molded.

      It’s resin from JLCPCB. My small resin printer just can’t do a 5x6 sadly. The first transparents I had done was with PETG.

      Sadly, JLCPCB doesn’t do tinted black, but honestly a clear coat with a little black alochol dye probably would do the trick.

      I was blown away with the quality from JLCPCB. It’s not that expensive but shipping hurts. Holes aren’t perfect, but my switch dimensions worked great surprisingly. I need to do a little more work getting the threaded inserts I have fully working (might have to drill potentially because I didn’t expect the oval circles). Their texture really confuses me. I legit don’t know for sure what technology they’re using for their resin prints.

        I’ll definitely check them out when I reach that step. At this point I am still trying to figure out features that I want. I saw some Cthulhu keycaps and purchased them. Kind of kickstarted my entire process just so I can prove to my wife I have a plan and it wasn’t an impulse purchase lol

        I didn’t think to use black alcohol ink to tint it, but that makes perfect sense. Thanks for the suggestion.

          Not 100% sure on if you can easily get this consistent. I know that there are ways of dying resin post print though.

          I wonder if you can just get evenly tinted semi-clear automotive for it.
