Saw that one and I defiantly agree with a lot that was said.

DIY, is the way to go. That way you can take it from being a ok/good board to being a good/grate board.

The things that I would still like to see changed are:

  1. Double shot keycaps. (Preferably Cherry profile, as I found the ADA caps quite polarizing to type on and I’ve been using SA, for the last 4-5 years. Also, the cherry profile is more akin to the look of an old ThinkPad keyboard.)
  2. FN double press to lock the FN layer.
  3. An option for a metal housing.

Did you grind your keycaps to get around the crosspoint? did you find a way to finish them to a point where it didn’t look super crusty? also how much fade did you incur on the original caps?

Pretty sure none of the audio came across, when I uploaded the video clips from my phone to imgur.
