Nice, can you give a sneak peak to the colors?

My Norby just came in today as well. I also got a R2 RGB TKL (in last week - not pictured), and some Topre modding accoutrements that I’m too lazy to take a proper picture of (not that my rapidly aging Note 5 camera produces a proper picture anyway). My Xeno is due in today as well, but at this point, until I have it in my hands, I’m not convinced that it’s real.

I’m sad I’m gonna miss out on Norbauer Topre boards…not in my budget this year and sad to see them go soon. (And I’m not really interest in the aftermarket) Haven’t felt this much FOMO in a while.

Yep, looks great. The finish is much more “dry” feeling than I anticipated. But other than that, I’m happy with the final product. Would have been more than happy if I would have recieved it 2 years ago

MT3 /dev/tty keycaps arrived today, a 65% set.
Along with a box of 70 Cherry MX Brown/RGB …
Still waiting for the Drop ALT barebones to arrive though!
I couldn’t not get these keycaps, having spent so much time in the deep and distant past on kbds like these! I think I’ll be fitting them to my whitefox for now …

OK, the /dev/tty wasn’t a perfect fit for the Whitefox, I have three keys that there was no reasonable substitute for … but this is the first thing I’ve typed with them and it’s pretty comfortable so far.
Plus I’ve washed the old whitefox keys (just warm water & dish washing soap, left them for about 30 minutes and rinsed the soap off, everything looks much better now)
So a reasonably productive evening

Does anyone know if the alphas / numbers (with the lighter shade) were ever in a colour closer to white in a previous round of /dev/tty? I recently received a set and was surprised by how grey the lighter keycaps appear.
I ordered one (1) and here’s what arrived. I swear the universe want’s me to build two (2).
Extra points for what am I building?

I think they were always grey like that; there was a run of MT3 Serika which I think was dye sub like dev/tty, and it had actual white keys.

Mine blank /dev/tty is also gray and feels terrible

My problem with dev/tty is the “|” looks awkwardly long
Am I the only one that pronounces it dev/titty?

Xeno: the legend is true!
My phone’s camera made the purple look too pink where it has more blue in it than this. It’s a nice medium purple in person, not too blue nor too red/pink. The bottom right portion that is under shadow is closer to how it looks IRL. The reflection from my monitor also makes the silver plate/weight look more rose gold. As Pixel stated the anno is a little dryer feeling than I would like (vs silky), kind of like matte paint, but it’s well done, and there aren’t any top/bottom case matching issues at all. I have a POM half plate on order so I’ll have to wait till that comes in to give my opinion on the board overall.
