I built a new board this weekend!
Specs:
KBD8x MKII
Pewter Switches. 203 lube, filmed. Aliaz 80g on the space, lubed and filmed.
Durock stabs. I think they might be v2, but I am not sure. Previous buyer gave them with PCB.
Brass plate, using Gummy worm mod.
Thoughts:
Really solid board. This thing is heavy! I bought it second hand and I think I got a pretty good deal on it. Only real build issues I had was that the previous buyer did a good job desoldering it (likely used a gun), but there was flux everywhere. I tried my best to clean it all, but there are still some sticky spots on the bottom of the PCB. I likely need to take it apart and clean it again in the future. What is the best way to get flux off? I tried 91% rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush, but still struggled to get everything.
The other issue I ran into was that my PCB foam prevented my gummy o-ring from staying on. I had to trim the overhanging, foam with an exacto knife. I probably scratched my plate a bit despite how careful I was, but I am not too worried about it since it is on the underside. I have some o-rings that were recommended on here to try out burger mount, but I suspect that the two mounting styles won’t really produce much change.
This is my first brass board in a long time. The sound is great like it should be, but I think I might re-build this in the future. I have really been liking plastic plates, and the bottom out on this is just a tad harsh.
Pewter switches are pretty fun, I need to give them some more time after lubing and filming them. They are probably about as close to linear as I am willing to get. I don’t think I would compare them to Ergo Clears, but they do seem like an improved Brown. It has been ages since I have typed on Browns through…
One final thing I was proud about with this build, I got my stabs tuned right on the first try! If you are not using a syringe to inject permatex, I would highly suggest it. I don’t think it really provides anything revolutionary, but it is nice being about to put lube right where you need and not get it all over your hands.
Cheers!

I figured that would happen, so I bought 4 when I got mine. 
Noob question here, but what is the bottom key for besides to look so freaking awesome?

Lol! Well first of all, I wanted to have a T nav rather than the cross nav, hence the rearrangement. I programed the bottom key as a windos key since the 122s are winkeyless.
