Just a small change from the last time I showed this one, but it turns out when you have 102 keys, there’s no real pressing need to minimize how much of R1 you devote to the space bar. This will help with jumping in WASD gaming, and it’s a tiny bit better for typing, though honestly that was not a major issue. It also brings the layout very nearly in line with the board I am using for work, so there’s minimal mental readjustment time.
I have no idea how long they will hold up, but after three weeks for one and a good three months for the other (with it being used frequently and for long stretches, but not quite daily), the hardboard plates on both are actually really nice. A bit of flex, but well within the “comfortable” zone. Box Jade are almost (but not quite) as nice as Box Navy, and Gateron Green are… fine.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that since I had a couple of oopsies on the laser, I was out of homing keycaps for down and num5. Bondic didn’t want to stick (and my tube was turning yellow anyway), so my automatic center punch came to the rescue.
