Pretty solid for $199. I know a lot of people enjoy this board, and it looks like v3 might have a few improvements. Might pick up one of the colors that’s not part of the initial in-stock. Maybe the brown or light green. Really like that it’s top-mount if you want. Top mount best mount
They definitely did make some changes, I kind of like them especially the decorative LED. The weight is also redesigned as well. Those are the obvious things I’m seeing anyway. Too bad they didn’t do a polycarb version.
Didn’t you swear off KBDfans after you had to pay a ton to ship back your Epoch 80 or did I imagine that? I’ve been here too long lol.
I still use the MK2 daily. Nice to see MK3 is using a daughterboard PCB, but a bit sad it’s not compatible with MK2 as I wont be ever able to refresh that one…
You are correct. Although I bought a keycap set from them a while back. Also, I bought a tiger lite from Divinikey last year, so I guess that is technically a KBDFans product, although not from them directly. Maybe Divinikey will also sell these boards.
KBDcraft (maker of the LEGO Adam keyboard among others) has a new 60% “Lilith” model with a 5.5 degree typing angle available for pre-order.
The base model is available in ANSI and ISO, with a full kit ISO available for order on October 1. It appears to be compatible with the Adam’s plate and PCB, but the Lilith case is not available as a standalone purchase… yet.
From the manual, looks like it’s to be able to more easily add LEGO figures, which is a cool idea because on my Adam adding any figures did disrupt how easily usable some keys were.
Yep, exactly.
I had to move my minifig to the right because I kept knocking it off when I went to hit escape. Seems okay on the backspace for me though. I like the new design a lot. I’ll probably buy one once it’s in-stock.
This ebay seller has some OG Cherry boards for sale. They’re pricey & ship from Germany, but look to be very very clean. Speedhelp Shop | eBay Stores
I ended up grabbing a Peacock branded G81-3004 HAD/05 for the case & those sweet sweet OG doubleshots. It’s ISO QWERTZ, but combined with the 1800 set of OG double shots I have I should be able to cover a good spread of layouts with them!
Loobed Switches is having a bit of a sale on some stuff (code is automatically applied in cart). If you are looking to pick up Millmax 3305-1 sockets for <$0.37/socket, this is your chance…

They don’t claim to be amazing, but they do claim to be amazing for the price - and with Krytox from the factory on a fifteen-cent switch, maybe so.

A translucent PCB! On this historic day, we’ve achieved maximum RGB!
I will never get over my SA sticker shock. $180 for just alphas and TKL mods…
Well thanks for lowering my bank account by $400…
