>Board: Someone random $30 hotswappable from amazon (came with red switches)

Amazing. You can take it apart, stuff the foam it came with into the case, and lube the stabs with a syringe (if you have one), and you'll be good to go.

I'm waiting for the day when keyboard enthusiasts stop shilling their aircraft grade 50 dollar/gram lube for two pieces of plastic rubbing together.

There are hundreds of split keyboards, hundreds of switches and there's an endless number of alternative logical layouts (other than qwerty). Try to observe yourself when typing and identify the cause of your symptoms. A new keyboard won't help you without a known issue to address. E.g. splits alleviate ulnar deviation. Low profile may alleviate wrist extension. Tenting helps with forearm pronation. But you may simply need a better layout, move a frequent key combo to another finger, higher chair, arm rest. So again: observe yourself before impulse buying anything.

Nordqwist, I believe Japan Sencha? Just unflavored green tea

Nice!

nice thanks for the info. I guess that case would be a huge upgrade for my H510

Thanks

i i’m not sure 🤔

Ya but if you need your keypad you can get juuusttt a keypad in addition. Then you could punch in numbers overtop your head if you wanted.

Waiting for the keycaps was the only thing that really took long, but maybe somewhere from 6-8 hours with lubing the switches, trying to get the feel and sound right (a scratchy batch of MX Clears that I made into Ergo Clears). Everything else was a breeze

What tea is that? Doesn't look like the standard colour I (a brit) am used to seeing.

how long did it take? next one should be easier👍

Yup!

It's called a "switch puller" and usually they include one with any hotswap keyboard.

Coming from the Corsair Crystal 570X, I must say the North build quality isn't as good as the 570X. Don't get me wrong though, the North build quality is still good, I would say.

My airflow setup is 2x140mm Noctua on the side panel, 2070s on a vertical bracket, and 2x120mm through AIO on the top. This leads to a neat, but unconventional airflow from side to top, and it works very well.
No fans on front or back.

As someone who does a lot of woodworking, walnut always looks good.

I just got an akko 1800 that I love

Well said 👏

wood is sexy

How happy are you with the case build and airflow wise?
I'm really interesed in buying one but i'm not 100% sure currently.

Ok nice but WHERE are the numbers :( I find it super upsetting when people don't have numbers.

Thanks. And YMC was correct?

Looks good!

It's honestly a really nice case.

I used the Tofu60 DZ60RGB V2 hot swap kit, bought PCB and Case foam, the cable is the KBDFans Handmade cable, and the keycaps are XDA profile Ice Crystal Mint (PBT plastic). The switches are Ergo Clears, but no matter how well I lubed them and tried to make them sound and feel nice, they are very scratchy. Thinking of getting Midnight Sakura's later.
