Thanks! These keycaps are called Keycap OEM. They came with the Kit Adam.

I use caps lock at lock for work, but that's because I'm typing out a lot of acronyms and it's way easier to just tap caps locks for acronyms of 4-5 letters, then tap it again to get rid of it.

To be fair, I just built an Iris, and they don't warn you about using thick plates and hotswap boards. (Luckily, I went with acrylic and solder PCB.) Splitkb does if you use their Composer tool, but I didn't see anything about it anywhere else. If this is your first build, it's an easy mistake to make.

I’d love to see some BST linears. A gaming board looks likely in the future if that was announced.

The name for the GB/GBA's color is Atomic Purple.
Maybe make a similar sounding name?
​
maybe something like Quantum Purple

@badseedtech (u/badseedtech) I have the R1 but no issues outside of 2 switches. I only needed 83 switches, so I bought the 90 switch size. That means plenty of them to swap out for now. Happy to support the BST community, what’s the info for replacement of it ever becomes an issue? And what was the nature of the problem? Mine was intermittent no presses or in one situation multiple presses, but like I said only on 2 of 90 switches so far.

Vaporwave might be the best theme for it

It does not hold. It pushes them. It edges them.

Sure, I’ll believe that… 😉
Not in any way saying an acrylic plate is a bad choice. It’s just a known issue that the switches isn’t locking. So for a keyboard you move around a lot it might not be the obvious choice.
You can get around it by machining cutouts for the locking tabs into a 3mm acrylic. I tried that once. Only once, and it was a major PITA.

Yeah it is blue/purple more so than rainbow. Rainbow isn't the best description. I wasn't sure what to call it.

Damn bro, this is a real interesting tidbit to learn. I'll be updating the keycaps to the proper configuration.
