This is a mechanical keyboard that I built to replace my aging Sun Type 6. I prefer the Sun UNIX layout, but I could not find off-the-shelf solutions that would really accommodate that layout, so I was left with building my own. The Sun keyboards were numbered up until the "Sun Type 7" (up until Oracle feasted upon their corpse), and this is my first go at it, thus the "slab type 1". It also makes for nice wordplay about [slab type](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slab_serif), so, you know, bonus.
I was able to find parts to let me get what I wanted, _except_ for a case-- I wanted a TKL or a full-size keyboard, but I was simply unable to find any sort of "standard" off-the-shelf cases for anything larger than a 60%. But I have a 3D printer, so why not just print one? And really... this is probably the most time-consuming way to build a keyboard. Really. In retrospect I should have paid someone to [laser-cut me a sandwich case](http://builder.swillkb.com/).
I chose to go with an off
