You’ll fall in love you’ll see :wink:
It is a beast for both feel and sound, and visually it is a classic.

Damn that thing is nice! I was so tempted to grab another F1 when I saw this colorway, unfortunately money is a little tight & I couldn’t justify doubling up on F1s at this time. Can’t wait to see your build in it!

SA Macrodata Refinement r2

Too bad it’s not the whole MDR keyboard, but it’ll be nice to have the caps to go with the MDR deskmat now.

I forgot how crazy tall SA is! Compared here to SLK Dessau, a set I really wanted to love, but which made it very hard to do so.

I’m rewatching S1 now to be able to watch S2 because I forgot everything already lol. I just love how clean the MDR Dasher looks and the fact it has no Esc and no Ctrl. The girlfriend’s probably sick of me saying “look at that keyboard” every time it’s in scene.

I’m thinking the epic look for this would be Hyperbeige. I might wait until I get the caps to post photos. Not sure yet. It’s been so long since I’ve built a board, I’m not really sure where I was in terms of switches :sob: A lot sitting around but I don’t remember what my plan was.

I had the same thought lol. I didn’t want the tariffs by going through Geon though.

When I ordered the board they messaged me to let me know that the PCB was manufactured in China so they would have to list it and I might owe tariffs on it. I told them that was okay. It shipped and got to me in 2 days, no tariffs.

None of these things (tariffs) make any sense… :expressionless:

I order something from Swagkeys and it was like 40$. 20 for tariffs and then like 20 for DHL fees. Maybe it was just cause it was sent via DHL :man_shrugging:

Mine also came DHL. But you’re right, it makes no sense.

Oh yeah! I Think Hyperbeige will look better on the classic than the actual Hyperbeige matched board TBH!

More shelves for the growing Lego addiction.

I may have paused a few too many times to gawk at keyboards and other set pieces. :sweat_smile:

More resin as usual, got the “A dab’ll do ya” SnB set in from Wheat Keys today! Actual concentrates will vary wildly in color, but I think he nailed the theme! :smirk:

PP plate for my F1 from Hype!

Edit: Just swapped this plate into my F1 with some Keygeek Little Ghosts & man does it hit nicely! TBH PP is my fav plate material so I will be a bit biased there, but this plate finally got me the slightly softer feel I was looking for with this board & sounds great! The little ghosts are on the louder & poppier side, but the PP plate definitely tames them down to where they aren’t so your in your face. I’ll get a sound test up for guys soon!

And here is a comparison of photos of three types.
There is a difference between tactile and linear, but it is weak.
Very rounded and long bump. To understand that it is tactile, more return back than pressing down.
