What is on your desk today?

What switches do you recommend “Huey Classic” lube for? I’m thinking about going over my Creams again with some 3204 since the 3203 still has some scratch.

I think I asked you somewhere before, but why the two lubes? Does it just produce the distinct sounds you prefer (down stroke and upstroke) or does it have to do with the feel (or both I suppose)?

This thing is perfection.

Wait, what? How? When? Where?

Yes we must know more about this! Did you get it plated?

This was a limited run by Ryan last year: The Heavy-6 (now resurrected in polycarbonate) - #232 by norbauer

My pal @ olivia requested if I could make her a Monolith with PVD Rose Gold. I’ve been working with the workshop (I’m visiting them again on Monday) and have been really impressed by the rose gold samples they showed me, so I added in a few extras and dubbed it the Monolivia in her honor. :slight_smile: These are all individually hand-polished to a mirror finish before being PVD coated, which is why they’re a bit more expensive.

I somehow lucked out and managed to buy one on r/mm a couple of weeks ago. :star_struck:

I do have one of these left with a very minor cosmetic irregularity in a spot on the back. If anyone is interested, feel free to PM me and I’d be happy to find it a home.

I dare not ask how much…

Hi norbauer, do you have any Heavy 6 Royal Wrinkle?

MT3 on Topre is heaven. ENJOY! Looks great, too.

A colleague keyboard on my desk, just to check that it is working before packing it.
Some of the switches were not working anymore (Greetek browns, are they supposed to be any good?), so I soldered Cherry Reds silents instead.
Tuned the stabilizers as they were super woobly in the plate; with 4 layers of electric tape they are not moving anymore.
Also lubed them and no more rattle.
Didn’t went to switch lubing, kindof scratchy as of now but things will improve once used for a while; it will be enough for a non initiated :wink:

Good mod. I’ve done it myself and it helps tremendously with costar rattle!

Mojo60 e-White, Maxkey Ninja, Gateron Ink Yellows, CF Plate, DZ60.

Surprisingly, one of my best sounding keyboards. The combination of the CF plate, the Inks, the solid alu case, and the SA keycaps makes it sounds crisp and poppy.

A big mess is on my desk today!

I’m debating if I should clear out the space on my bench and backboard to put my monitor against the back.

I think it would help make the look a lot cleaner overall. The lost backboard storage space will give you plenty more work space that you will come to appreciate a lot more!

the solution is clearly a bigger desk :wink:

Fortunately everything that is currently behind the monitor in the pic is pretty easy to move on the sides.

I’ve brainstormed a better alternative though! I’m going to get a few more L brackets to have a better mount for the backboard and top portion against the wall behind.

I’ll be grabbing a monitor wall arm and actually mounting it on the top part and have the monitor hang down from there. The monitor and mounting equipment shouldn’t be too heavy, so using some L brackets for support should do the trick. This will also still allow the outlets in the back to be easily accessible and give me some backboard room near the bottom.

Alas, I have been sold out of that finish for quite a while. I only have left in stock those few finishes currently on my site, and not very many of those either.

Been preparing for my keyboard valentine’s day…
