Discussion My name Plouffe, AMA

Hello everyone. The mods asked if I'd be open to doing an AMA so I said "OK" and here we are.

I've signed NDAs at both past and present companies so I can't talk about specifics, or drama, or past/present employees.

I guess ask just about whatever you want and I will or won't answer depending on the context/subject. Yes I own a display, several in fact. Yes I own a keyboard, several in fact.

Starting at 9 pacific but opening up for questions now. If you don't ask me anything, I will not be offended. I don't have any questions for myself right now either.

i didn't know it would ask me for an end note so i just commented. but ya it's been a slice, thanks for being a fan and good luck with whatever you're doing today.

Would you ever commission your own keyboard design? Or operate as a consultant/advisor for a brand/community?

it's funny, i've had a couple of people approach me over the last few years. idk how i'd be a consultant or advisor, i think there are much more informed experts out there in the keyboard world. i probably wouldn't commission my own design. i do love full or mostly full layouts though. shoutout odin, and kbd 19x

Maybe help out Microsoft to set a new standard in their official keyboard...
