What did you get in the mail today? (Part 1)

Ahaha I got the same set.

It went on sale for a very low price once AKKO came out with their nice Camping ‘inspired’ set.

[TBF, the AKKO set has similar colours but not accents/legends, whereas PBT Camping just rips if off].

I got it to hold over my IKKI68 Aurora until CRP arrives.

Oh now you mention it …
Never mind, I’m using that key as a backspace :slight_smile:

Perhaps but you do you …
I say “dev tutty” myself. The original phrase of course is “teletype” to perhaps “tetty” would have been better.

After more than 5 years into the hobby i decided to finally build a Tofu. I’ve only went for plastic options of keyboards so far because i didn’t like the sound of metal keyboards when i tried them, or at least i thought so. i think i’m warming up to them now that i built a more decent one myself with JWK yellows and temporary oem cherry stabs. I have silicone just waiting to be poured and small o-rings on the way for burger mounting it.

POM half plate for my XENO cut by Green Door Geeks. I haven’t tried it for switch or case fitment just yet – I suppose if I don’t report back, all is well. I’m very grateful for @Pwner providing the plate files and for GDG cutting me a plate so quickly (I contacted the owner via discord about a custom order only 3 days ago and it’s already in my hands!).

Drop unexpectedly delivered the ALT Barebones to go with the other stuff I received a couple of days ago. I say unexpectedly- I did order the thing! But there was no tracking information sent to me, so I didn’t know it was shipping.

I could put the whitefox keys back on, and move the /dev/tty’s onto this new board … but I’m supposed to be waiting for Drop’s Glimy DSA 2077 to ship … and they’ll suit the black much better …

Thank you so much for the kind words!

For anyone still interested, by the way, thought I’d just mention that we have only two After-School sets left, as of this writing. :slight_smile:

Very nice. Dude, thanks for sharing. I added the shop to our vendor list.

Good thinking. I first became aware of them when Merlin used one of their plates in a build stream (actually, a rebuild of his XENO).

did a little trade deal with one of my designer friends, I hope he enjoys his mail day as much as I did mine,

I present, The Locus


This board is by Soft, a 40% keyboard designer.
its an alice-like, with a 7 degree typing angle and a top mount FR4 plate,
featuring the AI03 daughterboard, and built with ktt grapefruits and IFK red on white.

OH MY. What a beaut. So frosty.

Love the Locus. More symmetrical than the Prime-E and with a more aggressive split at the “W” and “P.”

this, the combination of the more aggressive angle on the alphas as well as the aggressive typing angle makes locus feel way more “ergo” than the prime_e, as well as sounding and feeling a lot better than the prime_elise, even the PC one, which was ultimately the reason that I sold both of my prime_elise’s
