What is on your desk today?

That’s my logo and that’s my board. I call it the G75mini :sweat_smile:

I’m certain I must have asked that before. Do you have plans to make more of these? It’s a very handsome keyboard and I do like the exploded layouts.

The final photo before hour’s long removal of all the supports. Next time we meet, they will light up the FC660C :smiley:

It just gets better and better. Is that Honeywell and Space Cadet? Because that looks amazing.

Thank you — the colors are inspired by these two vintage keyboards:

I’ve just removed print-supports for the past four hours. I will have some photos tomorrow of them on the FC660C.

I would really like to but I don’t know if I can manage a gb by myself… :sweat_smile:

Do you design, manufacture, and finish the board yourself?

I designed the board and had it made by a manu in China. PCB was commissioned.

Very nice. Do you have an engineering background?

I don’t. It was all trial and error, comparing designs to open source ones and asking people haha

This is truly beautiful. Even more inspiring, when you speak of trial and error. :heart:

@rondg also designed a beautiful board that whent into GB, you may know it by the name GHS.RAR

I really like your design language @rondg, recognisable on all your boards, but maybe because I also like thick bezels like you :stuck_out_tongue:

Moondrop Tessence tactiles, mounted in a KBD67 Lite with an FR4 plate and wide, flat feet on the case. I think this one has TX stabs. Topped it all off with SP DCS caps to really translate as much of the switch’s sound and feel character as possible.

Where the Lunalight linears had the challenge of trying to sound good in a dense, firm tray-mount setup, these have the challenge of sounding good in an extra resonant setup - which should lay bare any subtle imperfections.

Here’s a quick recording at my desk; on a deskmat, hard walls nearby:

Tasting notes ~

I’m liking them so far. The bump starts at zero-travel, but is a lot more round than something like an Ink Kangaroo or Limbo. If Silent Bluish Whites bottom-out like a firm rubber ball, these bottom-out like agate marbles. They have a similar bottom-out sound to the Lunalights, if a bit louder by default thanks to the bump’s peak resistance being more than the Lunalight’s bottom-out weight.

If any of you have tried the Skyloong Glacier Rose / Epomaker Iceberg Rose switches, these have the exact same bump (perhaps with a slightly more aggressive leaf). However, these bottom-out with a long pole on Nylon instead of a pair of flexible leg-feet on polycarb, so they are of course much louder.

After a couple weeks of making more fat-finger errors than I prefer, it’s nice to be using a more lunk-resistant switch than the light linears and clickies I’ve been daily-ing. I’d say most people could rest their fingers on these with impunity, and they’re plenty strong enough to filter-out almost all the erratic finger movement I have from minor nerve damage.

Not quite as clean as the Lunalights, but exceptionally clean for a stock big-bump tactile. Quite a bit more clean than the Zealio V1 Redux switches I got in the mail today, for example. Might be apples and oranges, but hey, it’s a thing. Just getting my first impressions since last night, but I think most people that enjoy this style of tactility would be delighted by these in stock form, and there’s a little bit of tuning head-room for more exacting tastes.

Wobble seems slightly better than average for these days - nothing crazy but should be plenty stable for most folks. More stable than basic Cherry or Gateron, less on-rails than Aqua Kings or Cobalts.

Edit: I finally have a DCS set to use this with lol
