What did you get in the mail today? (Part 2)

Just received my F1-8X V2 shipped from Korea !

Hotswap Gondolindrim PCB, I like that this time there are leds only under the capslock and numlock keys.

And look at this, there are plenty vias around kailh hotswap pads !
This addition is a must to not rip hotswap pads during switches installation, great !

I will most probably build it somewhere in May.
I have some still unused 8008 Gateron Ink switches but I am not sure those are the best for this board.
I was planning maybe to buy some Gateron Oil King or Cherry MX New Nixies, don’t hesitate to give me feedback on what would be the best :wink:

And last picture is the unbuild F1-8X V2 in front of my own Aquanaut design.
A lot of inspiration designing this board comes from the F1-8X, a board that I never owned until today :wink:
