It's really not as bad as you think it is. All of the keys were usable, and I can't even tell the difference between the A or B Stock. In fact, I kind of regret buying the A stock for another set. Then again, I was prepare to swap the keys from the A stock or other keycaps. I'm not OCD enough to be overly bother by one off key.

ehhh. . . I think I've reached the point where the only way to advance any further would be to create my own design with a custom layout, and I'm sort of balking and waffling over that.
I got a Keychron Q10 that ticks off a lot of boxes: solidly built, VIA compatible, split spacebar, hot swap, presently loaded with Gateron Baby Kangaroo switches, and I got a set of custom G20 profile keycaps printed by PMK.
Despite years of semi-obsession over this subject, I don't know if it's worth while to have my personal dream keyboard produced when I have something this close already in hand.

I do have a remaining PCB from when I ordered from JLCPCB [Rhymestone] which I can turn into a Macropad/Numpad

Ngl that would be ironic as hell, because It would be a hyper membrane feel mechanical keyboard, so the Yang to the ‘mechanical feel’ keyboards Yin
Both probably terrible to use though

Personally i would have used white or the same reddish caps for the blue ones. But overall really nice build! Good job!

Varmilo 20% and keychron Q0 looks good tho.

Unfortunately velocifire are known for terrible pcbs. I will probably never buy a board of theirs again after joining their discord for help with my sun68 pcb. Best bet is the aftermarket, if that fails then maybe finding a drop in replacement. Tricky situation to be in :( always possible to design your own too ;)

Do you offer a dark navy color at all? Would love to build a Lemo cable but the closest I saw was a GMK striker type of blue!

Seems more like a membrane board tbh

Yeah, there's a lot actually, so abs is pretty common and so is pbt, but then you get stuff like pom, which is another plastic but often produces a poppy (ish) sound signature. Ceramic keycaps are heavy and have a deep thock to them. There are metal keycaps which are really pricey and sound imo a little pingy but still pretty cool. I'm sure there are others but those are the main ones I see accessable to the general public

Was worried about it being b stock passed on the chance of unusable keys

Sorta. I have a Unikorn and an F1, I just use whichever one I'm in the mood to use. Both have perfect configs, so neither feels like it's lacking. Nothing I would want more out of either, and I don't really have any interest in any new boards because these fill all my needs (except some group buys that I joined a while ago, though I already plan to sell one and only keep the other out of sentiment, or maybe I will just love it too). I might mix some things up with them, but that would only be for a change of scene and a project if I so feel like it. Both I got at retail too, so don't feel like I was robbed out of my money to reach this point, just paid for the work that was put into making and designing the boards. Though I do also have a hhkb which I really love for work. I guess my version of endgame is not one singular board, but a few that I cherish which are very different and work with my different moods/tasks :)

Looking for one as well. Wanted something for tax season, but I missed it. :/ I went 70% and 65% and really wish I had managed to snag a numpad first now.

I put mine in the middle of my layout.
I got tired of having to move my hand back and forth all the time.
Now, I can type a complete address, without ever moving any finger more than one key away from its home position.
For me, "Move right hand to numpad" has been replaced with "Press down with left thumb".
