looks great!
Thanks! Those are some attractive keycaps. Looks like I’ve already missed the boat on buying a set for myself.
The group buy is over, but you might consider signing up for “restock” updates - KBDfans does occasionally re-run some of their more successful colorways, and they can send you an automated email if that one ever runs again.

This is my first soldered pcb build. I ordered the keyboard during the mykeyboardeu 50% off sale for 347 eur before shipping and got the keycaps during NovelKeys labor day sale for $200. The Iron180 is a nice keyboard, but I don’t think it’s worth nowhere near the retail price. This was my first time trying aluminum keycaps. I was worried about there being fitment issues, but everything turned out great. The keycaps feel and look amazing. I expected the keyboard to sound very pingy but the brass bottom combined with silent switches made it sound deep. Overall very satisfied with the build.

Still absolutely in love with this board!!

This is my thermal it’s got ranked blank pbt from Amazon I think they’re called, Gmk relegendable, greetech black with 45g short kin, and some mkultra foam for the hhkb tofu
Nice setup. I like the photo a lot, too. Cool lighting
Looks quite sci-fi!

Using XCJZ Lucy silent switches. As far as stock silent linears, I would put these as top 3 ever used. Highly recommend. I had to get mine from Aliexpress, but I just checked and Chosfox has them back in stock as of last week!

My Currently Built keyboards that i’m rotating through every now and then on my journey to find my perfect layout and mounting style. And i still need/want more HHKB. From top to bottom and left to right
- 27$ m0110, DZ60v2 PCB, FR4 plate, QK01 stock switches, OG Cherry clip in stabs, Dyesub 9009 keycaps. Using the KBDFans tray mounting post silicone socks.
- Oni60 HHKB, integrated plate mount, YMD Oni PCB, Huano J&J silent linear switches, TX stabs, PBTFans purpolch r1
- BM65 (working on learning CAD to make alu gasket, sandwich and top mount case for it), BM65 v1 PCB with single layer tape mod on the top and bottom and plate foam, stock steel plate, stock zorro black switches because i like torturing myself occasionally, OG cherry clip in stabs and some BoW hiragana dyesubs.
- Tofu60 HHKB 2.0, OG60 PCB, alu plate in top mount config, LCET ice cream pro full POM switches, plate foam to make mounting easier, Gateron V2 stabs, shenpo beige mods with EPBT 6085 mods
- Ajazz AC081, foam gasket mount, AC081 PCB (wish i could get aftermarket replacement), aftermarket POM plate with plate foam, case foam and force-break mod, bald brother strawberry ice cream v3 switches, NK plate mount stabs and capturer WoB keycaps.

I like VSA. They sort of split the difference between DSA and XDA and look and feel a bit better than either. Where did you get them at that price?
Are you switch nollie?? D:> Tell me how to type with one hand!

Lovely. I was just thinking about putting those caps on my green TKL Frog. Looks great!
Yeah, while I am happy with how it came out I think this is the build that solidifies me in the full plate camp. The sound is quite muted. And there are a few unevenly spaced switches. But it looks pretty!
