Order your Roamyboard
Pick a shape, bend it to fit your thigh, paint the keys whatever colours make you happy. This isn't a shop: the button at the bottom opens an email to me with your configuration in it, and we take it from there.
Shape
Curve
Each column meets the next at an angle, so a half hugs your leg. Thighs come in all shapes; pick the bend that fits yours. The electronics are identical either way.
Measuring your leg
Sit down. Lay something straight across the top of your thigh where the keyboard will rest, touching at both ends, and measure the span between those ends and the gap under the middle.
Fill both in and this will suggest a curve.
Case
Switches
The key module has Kailh Choc v1 hotswap sockets. That's the only kind of switch that is compatible, not MX or similar. Hotswap means you can change your mind later without a soldering iron, as many times as you like.
Keycaps
Pick a colour, then paint keys with it. Go wild; nobody is grading this. Homing caps have a ridge you can feel; convex caps are dished the other way and suit thumbs. Caps come in packs, so the list below shows what you would actually buy.
Click a key on the keyboard to paint it. Arrow keys move between keys, space paints.

The small print
- This is a hobby project, not a shop. I build these one at a time, on evenings. Ask me how long it will take before you count on it.
- Shipping is quoted separately, once you tell me where your legs live.
- Parts prices are the vendors' own plus my margin, which pays for the design work and for gathering the parts from different vendors. The vendor prices are read from their pages on the date shown under the bill. They drift; the bill is an estimate until I order.
- Only five keys per column exists today. Any other row count needs a new PCB, a new case and a new keymap, so it carries a design fee, quoted on request.
- Assembly time is my own pace, soldering included: a quarter hour per key module, two hours per MCU module, half an hour per terminator.
Curious what you are ordering? The assembly guide shows every step of the build, and the layout page shows what the keys do. Terms follow the glossary.
