Very nice project!

This is the first photo of Metropolis on a keyboard that I really like. Super clean and beautiful

Sirius has arrived. Been taking it to work. Please excuse the garbage photo and dusty home desk 
As a side note for other Sirius owners who might be thinking about a KBDFans carry case - it just BARELY fits and even then you kinda gotta press the cover down a bit(case is a bit short). It’s not a ton of pressure but still has me thinking about another case.
Slight edit to case details - turns out you can take the inner padding out, the bumpers are attached to an inner tray layer. Helps a ton and things fit MUCH better, with the caveat of course that there’s less protection. Ended up buying a TX case before I discovered that the liner was removable, I think I’m going TX from here on out - insane amount of padding compared to the KBDFans one.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating.

Another beauty for sure !
WOW! certainly a very eclectic board with a Lisp theme to it… Just love the emacs, the cons cell, and the lambda keys. Where did you get those?
The keyset is SA Symbiosis R2. I got it from previous GB.
How about “Dontouch”

Call it “an abomination before God”! /s
While its a little jarring seeing RF caps on a Novatouch frame, I can’t say I don’t admire it. It does look quite professional.

With some #3 Des rings it feels and sounds professional as well. This is going to replace my 660c as an office board.
Love clueboards

Do you ever wish the numpad was reversed or has in been fine on you left hand using the numpad like that?
Nope,
i am retired since 20 years, no heavy number crunching needed in my private pc pleasure.
The last fullsize keyboard i’ve bought must have been in the last century, but i’ve told my german community for many years, if i should ever buy a fullsize again it has to be lefthanded.
Thats why i did it a few month ago, the numberpad is used for multimedia hotkeys via sharpkeys.
The only “annoying” part is the delete key, my daily driver and most beloved HHKB JP has a dedicated delete, the hack key on the right bottom, since years and that’s what i’m used to.
