I found this repo https://github.com/Pattttta/FancyAlice66 with the source files needed for qmk and via, hopefully they work with latest qmk setup
Whatās that keeb to the left there? Those colors look fun.
Itās been a while since Iāve posted here, havenāt been keyboarding much lately, but I am back with an IBM M2 ā One of the most unreliable keyboards ever built. Itās quite sad how this is given the previous lines of Model Ms are known for their bullet-proof reliability.
And yes, this one is broken too. Thankfully, there are plenty restoration tutorials online for it.

Portico68 w/ not-a-pistol case
Couldnāt wait to build the Portico. Itās 2AM and Iām too tired for photos - but for the moment Iāll say I really like it so far. Promise Iāll be back tomorrow with sounds, images, and words.

That is my try for an endbudget build. Board 25ā¬, switch films 10ā¬. No primer but green and violet spray paint that Iāve had laying around. Hot glue to make my own weight and reduce the plastic caseās bendability and so on.

Nahā¦ itās not very slim. It still is bulky. For real. It kinda looks like here What is on your desk today? - #4147 by Extra_Fox on my wrist too.
Update: Here are some pics to illustrate that beautiful son if a lump.

The 2077 DSA kit from Drop landed on me a couple of days ago, but I only unpacked it today. Had to fit them onto my whitefox for now, because the black case I got for them originally came with /dev/ttys and I love them too much to change now ā¦
Plus I really like the 16-key top row ā¦

Now this is podracing a mail day! Unexpected and that made it more fun.
- JTK trays so I can finally clear my Dracula base kit off my desk (thanks for the input, @Rob27shred!)
- DCS Nightfall since Iāve never tried DCS
- Two orders from Switch Oddities (plus some Hi-Chew) which are far and away one of the more fun things Iāve gotten in the mail recently. I havenāt even touched them all yet but there are some shockingly good switches in here.

AULA Matcha-axis tactile
Mine arrived the other day.
They are indeed light-medium tactiles, not light-tactiles like Browns.
I would say they feel like a toned-down AKKO CS Ocean Blue, or calmer Kailh Polia. [Maybe they are Polias - wouldnāt that be interesting! A cheaper way to get Halo stems! They are using Kailh housingsā¦]
They definitely are stronger at the top than Browns. But they donāt get much stronger, and are not heavy in weight. They feel like Browns with a greater āpush-feelā throughout the keypress. As if the stem is āthicker.ā
If you can imagine a significantly more viscous Everglide Jade Green, they are kinda like that.
They donāt make any weird or bad noises, but are plasticy in sound. So I guess they need 3204. Yeah, there is a slight scratch, but nothing horrible.
Meteor Oranges are a good comparison, although these might be a little thicker in tactility. They require more overall force to type with than Browns do. These Matchas are one of the better switches on a stock MK870, and would make a decent medium-tactile keyboard with AF SA keycaps, especially if lubed.
Hereās some more info about AULA switches:
Interestingly, that site sells them individually, but at much greater cost than bulk-buying.

And ā¦ I just noticed that the ,< and .> keys were upside down!
Iāve previously had trouble with the whitefox, and some double-striking. This was made much worse by putting the very large /dev/ttys on here ā¦ Iām happy to report that these DSAs havenāt made it worse this time 
Theyāre smaller than the whitefox original caps.
This is why Iām so TX stab poor. Youāre a legend good sir, well played.

Well thanks bud! Honestly though I kinda just got lucky on this haul. Ashkeebs had V3.1 TX stabs left in the black WKL 1.6mm variant (I think nobody realized he had them!) So I ordered 5 sets & a tub of 10ml 205g0 from him. Then camped on the Mekibo site for the first drop of this month to get the 2 sets in black WKL 1.2mm variant. Had I not stumbled across Ashkeebs stash & missed the last Mekibo drop Iād still be TX stabless LOL. Although with as many as I got I could sell set if youāre really interested in trying them out!

Youāre too kind dude. I really appreciate that. I did my own damage on CĀ³ stabs from TKC. I was so tired of my builds being held up by low stab stock ā so I wigged out and got a dozen sets. 
Iāll be patient. Ugh.
Also, isnāt TXās logo so clever? They took a generic representation for the bottom of a keycap and used it for the T, then tilted it a bit to form the X. The same image represents 3 different things. Big brain.

Which version of the IK75 did you get? I ordered the IK75 Pro/QMK version a few days ago. It will be the first keyboard that I purchased that has full QMK/VIA support.
Irony: I bought it to play some games that require both the function row and number rowā¦ 
So I made a booboo:
I meant to order the Sapphireās instead. So Iām returning these and order Sapphires.

I am gonna try to be on the ball for the next drop =D Gonna use Cherry clip-ins for my upcoming Sequence until then.
But I also had the thought of āThatās where they all areā, as if. xD
