I hope by xmas you’ll also randomly have larger boards for another layer because you can grab some tinsel and make a xmas tree outline with your keyboards perfectly lol
My first mechical keyboard: Katan60, Gateron Silent Black. I love Katana60, still by daily driver at work.
The second one, Corne AKA crkbd with Aliaz silents. Cool looking but too minimal for me.
And finally, the third one: SofleKeyboard with Zilents V2. It’s basically a modified Lilly58 and I am quite happy with it.

How do you like the Katana60? it’s always looked pretty wild to me but I’ve never had the chance to try it out

I love it. As you can see I am attracted by split keyboards. Katana60 allows me to have the hands a little bit more apart than usual 60% keyboard. It’s overall closer to split. I was barely using the triangle of keys in the middle, though.
Just because I’m curious, why do you use a different layout on your splits vs your Katana60?
Actually, my current layout on Katana60 is exactly the same as my current layout on SofleKeyboard. I use katana at work and sofle at home so it would be hard to have different layouts.
Maybe you are confused by keycaps? If that’s the case don’t be. I use colemak all the time and the legends on Katana are qwerty (therefore wrong) because the keycap set has no support for colemak.
Or you maybe have checked my layout in QMK? Well, in that case it’s true that my “default” Katana60 layout is/was different, but I have added support for a reduced “split training” configuration. It’s hidden in my fork of QMK and also in a special branch, so it is not easy to find. If you are interested (and can read QMK keymap) check out this file for Katana: qmk_firmware/keymap.c at split_training · josefadamcik/qmk_firmware · GitHub
It’s quite complex mess, sorry for that. But if you check layers: _M_SPLIT, _M_LOWER and _M_RAISE those are the 3 I use right now when I am on Mac. You can see that I have even deactivated keys which are not present on Sofle (with XXXXX). And you can compare those layers to my layout for Sofle https://github.com/josefadamcik/qmk_firmware/blob/soflekeyboard/keyboards/sofle/keymaps/default/keymap.c
Regarding Corne, I don’t use it at all.

Thanks! I had a Tofu laying around and didn’t want to sell it for peanuts so decided to make it a bit more special.

Did you spray paint it?
EDIT: The case I meant
My Candybar finally came in. She’s a pretty hefty honker for the size!

This is so clean that it looks like a render. Well done, and great photos.

No, both the case and the plate were cerakoted in Robin Egg Blue.
Ah. No wonder. I was wondering how spray paint could make it look so “perfect” (just googled cerakote).
