does it come with optical or normal switches? I’m confused with which keyboard by skyloong uses optical and which one uses normal mechanical switches.
cheap first keyboard I got on facebook marketplace for around 45 dollars (my currency rm180)
Cx60 pcb with stacked acrylic case
Cherry mx reds and honey milk keycaps.

I’ll never stop loving this board, one of the best designs ever, iconic.

I like it a lot because I’m a sucker for LEDs, but I also love the low angle. I recently discovered a nifty way to improve the typing experience on it by accident.
As you may or may not know, the tolerance on the Space65 between the case edge and keycaps is VERY tight. One fraction of a mm one way or the other will result in keycaps rubbing on the case. This is mostly an issue with GMK keycaps. ePBT are slghtly smaller in each direction from shrinking and don’t ever rub.
After messing around with the plate position for half an hour, I started to realize I could only get it perfectly centered (no rubbing on any caps) if some of the supports screws were not in. Long story short, I believe the mount hole at the bottom of the plate (below the space bar) is off by a small margin. So, when you tighten that screw in, it pulls the plate over one way too far. I also found that if I didn’t add the screw to that center support, it resulted in a very nice typing feel and sound.
TLDR: Fixed the case rubbing issue and found a nice mod for the Space65 that makes it more flexible

Thanks!
Do you mean a green light for the photo? Or green lighting from the board?

Yes. Actually it was a kind of a joke. But I think the orange may look even more convincing with non orange objects or light in the photo. You know. Like teeth looking nit as white, when having tooth paste foam around them.
But don’t hassle with this external lighting thing. It really looks gorgeous and bad ass at the same time on the pic.

I am not a great keyboard photographer, but this is an older shot of my Saturn-60 decked out for Christmas, sporting SA Oblivion alphas and Godspeed mods. I’ve since replaced the minibars with convex ones from the recent OhKeycaps group buy.
Its final form is awaiting either SA 8010 or SA Spectra, whichever looks best once they finally ship.
