Whoah! As in fabulous work and terrible news.

I heard this a couple of days ago. How much did the family get for his last board that they put on eBay?

Edit: Found it. It went for over $1300 shipped. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Datamancer-Barr ... 1c397c23e9

Sad to hear. Even though I have never been interested in steampunk, his steampunk keyboards got me interested in finding out more about keyboard modding ... and that nudge is what made me find Geekhack and the keyboard collecting/modding/building community which I fell deeply into, and then Deskthority.

I've often enjoyed surfing through images of his keyboards. Sad news.

Worry not, the Chinese have taken over making them...
