Anyone interested in the Blade 60% board by KBDFans? Though they have gotten bad rep in the community but I do quite like this board that is currently running by them. Looks quite unique and it’s not super expensive (yes, fully aware it’s tray mount).
I particularly like the lilac and the black cases. How abt you?
Who gives KBD a bad rep? I call BS. KBDfans is not perfect but they provide a lot of value and I don’t think the community would be where we are today without their contributions.
I have similar boards to the Blade, but I like the innovation. The mounting style is pretty cool. Nothing super crazy, but I like that the o-rings are on the bottom too. Like I said, the whole thing is interesting. The bezels are a little big for my tastes.
I think it is another awesome board if you are just getting into the hobby.
I’m in for one, don’t really need another tray mount, but I want to support the innovation and incremental/evolutionary steps. Between this, bakaneko and Salvation it feels like the next gen of tray mounts will be really fun.
I briefly considered this but everyone’s hands-down, all-time loved, dare I say revered vendor Drop*, was having a screaming deal on the KBDFans 5 degree 60% case so I snagged one of those.
One thing that I do like about this is the round cable hole in the back. I guess this is a carry-over from the D60 design. It’s functional (allows thicker cable endings) and looks pretty cool. Selling a USB-C cable with a perfectly matched end-piece would be a cool add-on
I was thinking the same thing. I’m going to hold off on ordering another kit though, at least until some of the keycaps sets I ordered last year start to trickle in.
