What is on your desk today?

Messy desk picture of the Graveyard TKL. 10lbs of aluminum…

Not sure I love DCS Paperwork on it.

I think Paperwork pops really well against the black background. Very cool board, btw. You can almost imagine that it’s a screen and the keycaps are displayed on it.

O_O My heaviest board tops out at 2.67kg (5.88lbs)…and also happens to be the one I just swapped in recently.

Novelkeys NK87 (Comet Blue) with TTC Silent Bluish-Whites, SwagKeys Knight stabs, and a combo of two AF SA sets for the caps. Oh, and a brass plate (because it was on sale and I’d never tried one before).


Not the original idea I had for it, but do really like how the colors came out, and the typing feel is definitely satisfying for me. Also managed to cram in OS detection support, so I can swap between my work Mac and my personal Linux machine without remapping stuff.

(I don’t really notice much difference with the brass vs. Al plate here, but that may be because this keyboard is such a chonk with the solid Al base.)

Put GMK electric on my Argyle so it’s on my desk today.

It’s a nice set. This is with the alternative alphas. I do like the gray alphas as well, but I’ve never really feel like a set makes sense it when the mods and alphas don’t share a main color (in this case, the teal). I feel the same way about GMK Redline.

I own GMK Sky Modo as well and I wondered how they compared. I will have to take some comparison photos soon. But the blue in GMK Electric is less saturated, and lighter. It works very well in contrast to the dark alphas. GMK Sky modo uses N9 on the alphas, which is actually a bit darker than the alphas/mods on Electric. Side by side, Electric looks more… well… electric! It pops. Sky modo looks darker and has less contrast.

I’ll also take a comparison photo with GMK Phosphorus. The blue used in that set has much less green in it.

Argyle + GMK Electric were just made to be paired together (Just like the renders LOL if im remembering right) Also when did the Argyle ever ship I don’t remember.

It shipped a while back… maybe 2 or 3 months ago. Yes, they used it in the renders on the black argyle. Actually, the one in the renders is WKL, which they never produced.

Seoulcialite DMd me on discord to see if I was interested in some unique PCBs that were not offered in the group buy, but it’s been a while. I hope he doesn’t forget about me. :rofl:

Smol update on my new daily:

  • Swapped-out the Skyloong Iceberg Roses for Kailh Whales (silent tactile BOX switch)

  • Swapped the position of the PgUp & PgDn keys

  • Discovered the indicator light for “Bluetooth Device 2” is a lovely shade of magenta

And, perhaps most importantly…

  • the build has officially earned its “daily driver” stripes, in the form of a nice shiny oval on the less-than-one-week-old spacebar :smiley:

:upside_down_face: can I join the party? If there are any special PCBs for the argyle I’m super interested.

Maybe so! First we have to see if he responds
:rofl:

I remembered he was talking about adding decals to the PCB afterwards since the Argyle pattern was removed for the group buy. I asked him about them but he hadn’t looked into, however he had these printed PCBs on hand. We shall see.

What a beauty. I wasn’t very happy when the decision was made to remove the argyle pattern.
Green PCB would be fabulous!

Threw JCS Arabic on my TKL One, digging the way the orange sublegends go with the goldish case color! Also damn impressed with the quality too, for the price you really can’t go wrong with JCS PBT!

My kbdcraft adams with a combination of purple-pink cherry profile keycaps I stole from my cousins (I don’t even know what they are lmao) and some random cherry profile translucent black keycaps from Amazon.

I took this photo on a Chromebook.

Pulled out my cypher to do some tax paperwork, and I’m actually kind of digging it. First time actually using it since I bought and built it, I’m so locked into 60% but this is nice.
Millmaxed, Durock Lilac Tactiles, no foam or tape and just force break with some tape. Sounds fantastic.
Really liking DCX Dusk too. It’s such a rich blue and the legends look like they glow in low light.

Second best color combo I’ve seen on the mystery periwinkle!

EDIT: Googles periwinkle. Okay, it’s not periwinkle…it’s pink…

Don’t have the heart to correct it, though. I wanted to type periwinkle so badly.
