Got my D60 with an FR4 Plate! Just finished building (kinda, don’t have HHKB compatible keycaps with me atm) but the board looks, feels, and sounds great! The assembly was a little annoying but well worth it!

QXP arrived yesterday. Finally found a QXP at a great price. Late to the party but looking forward to the low typing height goodness!

Got my 3 packs of milky Caps switches in today! First impressions are good for me, smoother than I thought they’d be from other’s reports & an awesome sound. Pretty sure I’ll be building my 8X MKII with these!

1000% tactility boost

That’s cool! Does it improve the sound? My Quefrency sounds “empty / flat” to me (for the lack of a better word), and I’m guessing due to the lack of a resonance body. Not knowing if it actually helps, I wasn’t able to pull the trigger on a 3d printed case for it.

It does change the sound slightly; the walls of the print are quite thin, and give it a bit more internal resonance which I think works well for it. I’ve only ever used it with these switches and caps, but I’ve always really liked the sound of this pad. Kind of hard to describe, but definitely unlike any of my keebs because of its construction - steel plates and a fair bit of hollow space.

I used to own a quefrency for a time, first without a P3d case and then with one, its certainly worth the money for the updgrade, both in terms of accoustics and board feel, although if you take a day to sand and spray paint it, the surface texture will be greatly improved IMO

I feel your pain – my set took nearly 2 weeks to move a 4 hour drive’s distance. Looks great and worth the wait.

Id argue good mx sliders are even more crucial. Here’s hoping Dean kills it with his sliders.

unless you’ve got Novatouch sliders lying around, MX sliders are basically worthless, just use Topre caps
