This actually looks great! I’ll be picking one up immediately.
Finally built up my key65
- mix of c3 and zeal stabs, was using up randos I had lying around
- lubed and filmed 63.5g turquoise tealios
- gmk froyo
First impressions are that it feels nice, the rubber piece that went between the pcb and plate was cool, I didn’t realize it came with it so I had an mkultra foam, but I went with what came with it. I’m not sure if it’s the aluminum plate or the switches or combination, but I’ve become very fond of the creams with peepee stems on the brass plate with lots of foam I’ve been using for the last several weeks and this seems especially clacky in comparison.

Very good looking board. The salmon and turquoise color scheme reminds me of an idealized version of 90’s Taco Bell interiors - imo their own little slice of the vaporwave universe…

Dude that’s exactly what I was going for! I gotta find the right key set to put on it to throw those vibes heavy

Out with the box full of sandwich baggies, in with some organization!

What is this 
For some reason, MT3 on lilac switches sounds exactly like an alps board on my Modern M0110. It’s uncanny.
Need to grab those new beam spring inspired caps from Dorp sometime soon.

Following the link, I saw this guy on the page as well:
This may be handy for smaller parts as well (I wonder if one box could fit 100/110 springs, that would be cool).

Lol, I love how no matter how beautiful the board you post is, as long as that wrist rest is in the picture, it’s the only thing we’ll be looking at - like cleavage on the weather channel.

Got some time finally to program some very simple keystroke like effects.

hahahahaha, what’s actually hard to see is that after four years of almost daily use at work it is starting to get kinda gross and discolored. I’ve been debating what to do, I have 2 of the very nice marble keebs wrist wrests i use at home, but on the other hand I’m so used to the baguette and it looks so nice in pics i might just have to get another one.

Wait, what, that’s not a real baguette? =O

Dream (top) and reality (bottom) side by side. I’ve just finished requirement specification for my own design called Forever Ambre.
Maximal screw and spacer size: M3.
Number and position of mounting points (for screws and spacers): as shown by pictures.
Dimensions: approximately 4" × 7.5" × 1".
Weight: approximately 3/4 lb.
The bottom and middle (keyswitch) plates remain 1.5mm thick aluminum. The top (keycap) plate is now made of 1mm thin stainless steel. This construction, not including a PCB, weights 280g.
There is another, same-weighted, version made of titanium the thickness 1, 1.5, 1 mm respectively. However, as the aluminum - aluninum - steel construction is already quite sturdy, and there should be no significant difference in the feel and sound between aluminum and titanium, I wonder if anyone really needs titanium.
Bottom line. A little secret: 1mm steel in place of 1.5mm aluminum does not improve mechanical strength, but allows me making high-quality top plate (w.r.t. sound, feel and look) with simple tools such as sandpaper.
