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

Ain’t keeb related, but this is the reason why I didn’t pick up a Norbaforce a couple of months back:

Me too. Me three!

I love the package design - best MT3 packaging yet, IMO.

I’ll have to photograph these with more light tomorrow; the accent kit color (I forget what they called it) reminds me of 1950’s diner tiles (you know, the few that aren’t black, white, or red) and classic cars. It’s a bit warmer and less saturated than the KBDfans torx tool there.

The dark grey is a nice charcoal, and the light grey is… light!

More pictures in a few, when I finish mounting them.

The camera doesn’t capture the warm turquoise - the shade really does go well with the grays.

Lovely. Looks like I need to try to pick up a set if they sell extras.

That packaging is so cool. Beautiful set

you didn’t have to mention the vendor, the creases tell the whole story :laughing:

crazy when the most recent GB you entered is the one you get first (unless I suppose you’ve only joined 1). Anyways, DCS Delftware just arrived, I’ll pop it on a board later and upload a pic. Looks great a first glance. The blue is a bit lighter than it appears in pictures

edit:

Here it is on a white board. The Dye-sub is really quite amazing considering the size of the font and some of the details in the secondary legends. Downside: the 7u spacebar doesn’t seem to want to return on my keyboard :confused:

Yes, the accent colour is very 1950s-Diner.

It’s similar [but not identical] to the BLON BL-05s earphones from last year, for those who are familiar with Chinese audio.

They were meant to emulate the aesthetic of a 1940s/1950s radio, I think.

That looks even better than Modern Dolch in a KBD67 Lite, and that’s saying something.

I have a TKL coming in that colour, so now I am maybe regretting not getting the full 3277 set.

not way off from the finish Norbauer uses called “Retro Refrigerator”, right?

Could someone explain this?

It also looks a bit like “Celeste” - Bianchi’s signature color:

Very nice! I got mine too, in black. Loving the little details on this board. Feels very premuim. I went for hotswap with full plate. What’s your setup?

I got the solder and the plate with options, I remember there being something I wasn’t super into in terms of layout on the hotswap

Edit: it was split backspace
