Very nice, the Agar is a straight stunning looking board IMHO! I see you got the EC PCB too, any idea what parts you’ll be using with it yet? Also what in the world is that squiggly thing in the pics above the PCB? It looks like some type of DB with LEDs on the one end, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why they made it like that?
POGO connectors!
Seen at about the 3 minute mark in the builld guide video.

Switches are still on their way somewhere.
I’ll be doing two builds in one day.
Agar on “EC” switches and Tofu2.0 with Venom60 on geon magnetic switches.

Ahh I see! I really like that design now that I know what it is! Should allow a decent bit of flex without causing issues with the pogo connector. Definitely glad to see more boards adopting them!

A little late, but got a few things in last week for streaming/recording LEGO builds, as well as some things for a PC build for my nephew’s girlfriend:
- Overhead Camera Mount by Neewer
- Sony ZVE10 II
- Bunch of computer parts for the PC (it’s an older system recycling components, but I refuse to use pre-owned PSUs, Storage or RAM so we bought those new).
- Dummy battery for the ZVE10
- Bigger table for LEGO/MEGA BLOKs/future keyboard stuff (see before/after below).
before (tiny table…):
after ($20 marketplace finds are awesome):

^ This is why Wheat is easily one of my favorite artisan makers! Dude has always been so cool & generous with everyone in the artisan collecting community, just an all around good dude IMHO!
More resin I’ve gotten slowly trickling in, 2 blind bag trees from Wheat Caps today! A I<3PODS Arbor & a Cracked Up Pine blank were what I ended up getting. Then I got another batch of 110 Keygeek Y2s (37g bottom out, 22m spring variant) from Unikeys just before they sold out of that weight!

I’ve been meaning to ask but do those pokemon cards you show with your artisans come with the artisans?

Yeah just from Wheat, Zearoh, & I believe Save sends them sometimes too though. The first two both been sending them with caps for awhile now, iirc I got Pokemon cards with an order from Save once. I’ve never been into Pokemon as they showed up in the US when I was in my later HS years, but they’re definitely nice freebies with the caps. My little brother used to be huge into Pokemon during the first few gens, so I’ve been giving him the cards.

Got my batch of TypePlus x Alexotos Granite switches in today! They feel pretty good in hand, the factory lubing is pretty good too (they used some type of dry lube similar to RO-59)! Will report back once I get to use them a bit.

The Realforce 87u TKL I bought from @MxStark arrived. It needs some cleaning and I will definitely need to take the time to lube everything, but I’m quite happy to have another Topre board. I think the idea here is lube this up and then take it to work and let it be my work board so that I can bring my HHKB home.

I got a Zed65 pcb today. I had this planned out for a while. The plan was to use it in my Haus. I had my brother in law 3d print a clear badge so the corner accent could shine through. Ordered a brass plate from prototypist on clearance. The PCB simply doesn’t fit the case. So now I have a Zed65 on board bottom mount USB. 
It’s made to fit a 2017 Dolinger or a Dolinger RE. Sadly I don’t own one.
