Still waiting on my SA Laser. They had issues with the Cyberdeck and Gaijin kits (I ordered Gaijin among others) but they are supposed to be sending the other kits separately.

Well I can safely say that the wait is worth it!
One thing I always forget about SA is how freakinâ glossy they tend to be.
As in the new production Model Fs?
thatâs kinda crazy considering ellipse said heâs personally qcâing every one
I wouldnât be happy with sticking keys at all. In fact, I would quickly send that one back.

Looks great! Enjoy!
Exactly!
Iâve applied some lubricant on the most important parts, and the situation is much better now after some time indoors. The weather here is pretty cold and it had been cold for a long time.
I should probably let Ellipse know about my findings, tho.
OOf that is a beauty <3
HOLY GRAIL acquired!
A brand new never used TSAfox kit for Godspeed SA
It cost me more than Iâd like to admit, but I couldnât pass the chance at getting it unused & from the original run!
I also grabbed the regular Hagoromo alpha kit for Oblivion V2 since the same person had it for sale as well.

Looks great! Your best bet for Cherry MX compatible caps would be to grab a REALFORCE RGB TKL board and put it in there instead of the 87u. I believe @norbauer said those were compatible with the latest round of the Norbaforce. That board has an MX stem already installed, so you can use any caps on it. Otherwise you will want to harvest either a Novatouch for the sliders or get some other 3rd party sliders somewhere, although Iâve read the quality is pretty lacking compared to Novatouch sliders.
The RGB is compatible with the Mark II, but @MightyJabba got a Mark I, which came out before the R2 Realforces, so he would need to go the slider-swapping route.
Got SA Arcane for my Wifeâs board. Need to get a normal ANSI layout PCB so I donât have to use some of my SA Ice Caps keys to compensate

They are epic boards!
Anyone curious about an HBCP build should check out @jshufâs build for a cool build log of the HBCP.
My personal plans? Probably going to go with lubed inks in a FR4 half plate. Trying it mostly because I havenât seen anyone else try it so 
itâs good. Worse case scenario I just desolder and rebuild it up with the brass plate which seems tried and true for everyone else.
No clue what keycaps Iâm going to rock on the board yet tho

FWIW, I really like tealios in FR4 - I imagine the inks should feel nice as well.

Got my SA Laser kits (aside from Gaijin). I think they look pretty good! I will probably be rearranging all of this when Gaijin and the Laser ALT come in, but for now here it is on my DZ60 in a magenta Tofu case with Tealios switches.
