Heard Yorkchan 2600 is going again so I’m driving this one in honor today.
There is that bread again!
We still never got the specs on it either!
Wanted to use my Korean Beige set, but I don’t have any matching GMK sets yet so I got creative with Jamon & it’s Pata Negra novelties. What do you guys think? I kinda dig it, has almost Metaverse (can’t wait for Rd.2, not passing that one up again) like vibes. I think it would be a bit cleaner if the reds matched (should’ve grabbed Ceresia when I could’ve), but the two different shades don’t look as out of place with the white alphas as I thought they would.
This is my current daily driver. The guts are from a Filco Majestouch 2 TKL with Cherry MX Black switches that I got at Amazon. I also use a Pegasus Hoof controller in it for maximum customizability. The case is anodized aluminum from NPKC that I got on Amazon also. The keycaps are Matt3o /dev/tty that I got at massdrop.
Daily driving this sexy planck art work. Currently no desk mat, because i need it at home lol. Under the hood are Creams lubed with 205g0 and Gat Yellow springs. I do have WOB hiragana 40s incoming and will be putting a sakurio under space and zilents under lower and raise and will call it finished.
I finally received an ANSI PCB for my J01, and built it last night. Such an interesting board with an interesting mounting style.
Declining switch break-in board:
- switch: retooled black
- lube: none to break-in the switches
- plate: brass
- pcb: Instant60 (hotswap) with extra solder on joints to prevent socket popout
- keycap: PPS (black) and PBT (white) keycaps to tone down scratchiness
- case: adhesive foam stacked in 6-degree declining angle
- accessory: hand exercise ball to help expedite switch wear
I know there is a declining case being produced but adhesive foams really handy for experiencing how such a board feels like in use. So far I’ve noticed that palm rest is essential and ALT, Enter, and CapsLock keys are better off flipped like the spacebar.
Wow, looking dope bud, the J-01 is a stunning board for sure! What is the mounting system on it? I remember hearing something about isolation mount with one of the J- boards, but I knew I wouldn’t have the extra loot for one so I wasn’t active in the IC for the J-01.
I sent the customized Filco TKL to work and am using this one at home now:
- GH60 Rev.C PCB from techkeys.us
- Kailh Box black switches lubed from NovelKeys
- iQunix Lambo case with aluminum plate
- GMK Space Cadet keycaps
I build this a couple of weekends ago and just got to using it now … Feels really smooth to the touch when typing.
Nice, the True Cadet kit really sets it off, sweet looking build! Kicking myself for not grabbing those & the blue alphas during the drop…
What goes around comes around my friend. You’ll get another chance…
Almost took a year to build this, but finally it is ready. Zilents 64g v2, o-rings, steel plate floating on eva foam, cnc alu frame, and the keycaps lands on laser cut foam too if bottoming out, hand wired and the foot is 3d printed.
A GH60 and a Lambo… It’s been a great many years since I’ve seen that combo. Nostalgia!
Zilents and o-rings?
yes, i found it was quieter that way
Did you just take the microtron and make it ortho as well as mx?
Looks great!
Have you considered adding any tenting to the case instead of just tilt?
yup, that’s right
I’ll post a build log in a while. I think tilting feels good but no tilt is fine too.
