Been meaning on getting a decent hot swap board like the Tokyo60, although soldering in the switches is one of the funnest parts of a build to me. Still I can’t deny the convenience hotswap provides! Anyways sweet pick ups, GL with putting it together, & be sure to post some pics once you get it finished!

No tools or first hand knowledge on soldering yet. Slowly gathering and collecting some things, then onto that part. Very much look forward to it. Couldn’t take a nice photo to save my life at the moment but, I’ll put one up for ya!

LOL, I’m sure you’ve seen some of the “high quality” pics I post 
, so no shame there bud! Also we’ll get you setup right when you decide to take the leap to soldering!

Got my Synthwave Draconis from KeyLabs & my order from the Nexus slider GB in today! The sculpt & colors on the Draconis are awesome, unfortunately the stem on it has a little chunk missing from the one side. So I’m gonna have to shoot them an email about it.
It mounts & holds on to switches fine, but I don’t trust it to last cause of where the defect is located.
Edit: Shot KeyLabs an email about the issue, they are gonna replace the cap for me at no charge & let me keep the defective one! Definitely very cool of them & not something they had to do. KeyLabs have earned my respect & future business for sure!

Absolutely monster cable (hehe) made by @westfoxtrot. He even ordered the sleeving specifically on request for me.

How long was the shipping for you? I’m in Canada trying to gauge how long it takes. Ordered copper plates for an iris build.

I’m in the Mid US. Placed the order on Nov 24th. It shipped on Nov 27th. Arrived on Dec 14th. So, 3 weeks from order to my front door.
Oh nice. Hopefully it’ll be any day now as mine shipped on the 28th. The tracking is stuck on “classified in system” though so I haven’t gotten any updates.
These are the best just got my about two weeks ago. Did you also happen to get the USB covers which are very good quality as well.

Just got these today. My wallet is hurting but I think this is the endgame. Unless I score some 104UG for a reasonable price.

Got 50 67g Zelios V2sfor my next 40% build. Just waiting on my Thinkpad T40 keyboard so I can harvest its trackpad for the ultimate travel board.

MODs have a lovely sound, but I thought one of the challenge with using them is that their housing can be too big for certain custom plates

I agree they do have a really nice sound to them! As far as fitment goes I haven’t experienced any issues with them personally. Although I have only used MODs on two different boards so I wouldn’t say it’s not an issue with other plates. The MOD-Ls I had in my 660M were pretty tight fitting, but the MOD-Ms I still have in my GazzeW66 build (using a Sentraq alum. sandwich case that has a universal layout & switch top opening) were actually a little loose even in the fixed positions. I had to be very careful soldering them in on that build to keep all the keys aligned.
