FC660C, kbdfans Topre 9009, spare PBT space bar I had lying around, and extremely wonky right shift key. Aside from the wonky shifts I’m loving this keyset! Nice as the stock Leopold caps are (and they are very nice), it’s cool to have a full aftermarket option.
I took the opportunity while the stock caps were off to install Silent-X rings on the sliders. It was tedious work! Upstroke clack is much reduced, though there’s a bit of a whispery noise on the downstroke on some keys that wasn’t present before, most likely from the silencing rings moving up and down on the slider.
My only regret is that the FC660C doesn’t have split backspace. I got used to it on my other boards and moved backspace down, but that means I have a 2.25U \ key above it
As pictured it’s technically on the floor. Iris, Aluminium case, Aurora K-types, BOX Jades. My daily driver at home, had it at work for nearly a month until a product owner finally gathered the courage to ask me to stop use it at work.
FC660C in a @norbauer Heavy-6 prototype, cerakoted in a satin black finish. It’s been my daily driver keyboard for the last two months and I absolutely love it.
Take the Pellegrino bottle idea the whole way and cut a hole through the side of the bottle so you can run the wire through, then twist the bottle to wrap the cord
Otherwise that’s a clean setup with some beautiful shine on those keycaps.
Are you a left or right thumb for spacebar kind of person?
LOL I’ve literally been day dreaming of going to home depot to do just that ever since I set this up.
This has been my daily work board for over a year now, so I’ve made sure it’s gotten good use. Left thumb is space and number layer, right thumb is enter and symbol layer.
Somehow switching between a single spacebar at night, and split space by day hasn’t messed me up too bad yet, but every now and then I get stuck in a loop and cant stop slamming my thumb for enter.
