A few more photos, some thoughts

I like the look of most keyboards I own, but this one’s on another level. I’ve had Skiidata in mind for this keyboard since I first picked the color, and I’m really happy with how they work together. I’m not sure if the meh phone photos do it any justice, but I wanted to share my enjoyment of this keeb, lazy Sunday and all.

I don’t have a woodland cabin - but if I did, this is the keyboard I’d use there.

Dark green + grey + orange accent has been a favorite colorway of mine for a long time, and being able to do-up a keyboard with it has me quite pleased.

Sticking with the orange theme, Epsilons seemed like an ideal choice here.

Yep, I love it.

As a side note, I also love the TX AP stabs. Softer stuff on the stem insides and better tolerances than V3, which were good already. Now I stink at stabs - and this is the first time in a while I was totally satisfied on the first try with a linear build. That’s a big yay for me. :slight_smile:

So - it was an Alexotos VOD about this keeb that piqued my interest, specifically the sound. I’d seen the lattice blocks, and even seen some cool accent images - but when I heard that sound is when I seriously started to consider buying one of these. I’m with Alex here - in the world of specimens that wouldn’t get removed from r/customkeyboards, this is one of the best values I’ve ever seen. Maybe not the best value for functionality or even typing quality (though that’s impressive, too) - but the best value for a real degree of luxury and aesthetic refinement.


Not the best recording, but here’s an idea of what my build sounds like:

Gotta say, this is one of the most expectations: met keyboard experiences I’ve had in a while, and I’m delighted to have the Envoy in my collection. Every time I walk in the room I look at it at think, “man, that’s cool” - and unlike a few of my other favorite-looking keyboards, this one sounds fantastic and is wonderful to type on.


Edit:

Oh hey, it matches my favorite controller!
