Love ordering from NK! Ordered this stuff yesterday around 10am & got it today with the regular shipping option! Got two sets of the new Typeplus X YiKB stabs in & jar of 205g0 cause I’m starting to run low on it. Will be messing with the stabs at some point today, will put a mini review up later in the workbench thread.
Received a box from KeebsForAll. Yup. It’s the Class60 + EC Kit I ordered a year ago that went missing back in Feb. They refused to give full refund or store credit so I reversed the charges and thought that was that before this box showed up out of the blue.
Checked Discord and mail to see if they’ve tried to contact me before shipping. Nope.
My interest in Class60 has already flatlined while all this was going on so not sure what I am going to do with it yet.
Just in case anyone is interested, items in the box are:
- Class60 (WK, Ano Black)
- Hotswap PCB (not Bluetooth)
- FR4 plate
- Sandblasted Black PVD weight
- EC Kit
- PCB, domes, housings, and springs
- Aluminum plate with split BS support
FYI, I’ve opened the box but have not opened, counted nor tested any of the parts. Everything appears to be there but I won’t know until I actually build if I could actually rekindle any interest in this damn board.
Big fan of my class60. Still never got my EC kit though. The MX build sounds and feels very premium
OMG makin that cat board look good… I’m tempted to get one
I got the CK collector’s edition switch sample pack. It comes in a container shaped like a giant switch.
It was missing one Naevy, with a sticker seeming to indicate that it was out of stock, so there was a total of 66 switches.
This was one of my holy grail keyboards that I had searched a very long time for. I finally lucked out on eBay finding one in basically new and unused condition.
A Kinesis Model 130 from an early enough vintage that it still enjoyed the original doubleshot keycaps.
It’s stunning in person and may end up as a piece of art for my office because I’m unsure if I want to gut it and try to replace with Advantage 2 internals.
I picked up a Vortex M0110 on mechmarket that arrived today
Here it is with my other M0110 boards
The Vortex board (top left) feels much more substantial than the AliExpress plastic version (heavier, thicker plastic). Interestingly, it has the steepest typing angle out of all 4.
It’s similar in feel to the Re:66 Vortex board. I like it. Looking forward to trying out the Plastic Model M tribute as well.
Got my MX Oranges in from Divinikey! They’re just a recolor with spring weighting in between reds & blacks TBH. Also they look nothing like actual Hirose Oranges (their orange is a more subdued & slightly transparent), but still pretty cool to me as I’ve always been a fan of Cherry linears & am happy to have another color option from them!
Well well well… I just got my EC kit today.
Whew, does that look awesome! How’s the quality? I still never ordered a set yet, but really want to before they sell out of this colorway.
quality is good! quite thick and the dye sublimation is crisp. The fonts are a bit bolder than something like GMK or CRP, but it’s good. Also, they are made to sit ever so slightly lower than CRP caps, which is a positive in my book. Texture is similar to most PBT sets. Not too rough, not too smooth.
Hammer x CRP R5 on the left and NicePBT R-beige on the right.
Nice, definitely picking up a set next week if they still got stock! I actually like the bolder font on the alphas, the mods throw me off a bit, but I really think that is more down to my brain being used to seeing a thinner font. Looking at your pic there is nothing wrong with bolder font on the mods, the kerning looks fine & the print/dye itself is crisp so I doubt it would bother me once I get used to seeing it.
Officially my smol-est, least-expensive functional MX-compatible “keyboard”
Thanks, Snipeye & Johnny B!

Comes flat with break-away tabs, includes “sweater”
Oh cute it’s got a lil’ pie
It fits MX-compatible switches as well as rotary encoders
The module next to the USB connection looks a bit like a microswitch, but is actually an IR receiver
Will I ever utilize its full potential? Prolly not.
Am I delighted by the possibilities? Big yes.
Yess, I got one myself too lolol. Chatted with Snipeye for a bit, shoutout to him for making such a fun little device.
omg… I got MTNU graphite… but I’ve never had this profile and it’s blanks and I GOT THEM OUT OF PLACE and I CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHERE THE GODDAMN CAPS GO
Note to self, don’t get a new profile to you that’s blanks.
IDK, I’m still not 100% certain I have matching profile caps on the bottom row. I like the look of MTNU a lot. Still getting used to the typing feel. Definitely harder to get accustom to than something like HSA
Do they have rows inscribed on the underside by any chance? I vaguely recall Matt3o wanting that, and it not(?) happening with the original three launch sets.
I didn’t see anything. I did check because I was at a loss
