Do you have any more pics of the overall case construction? Been thinking of making one for my southpaw FR4 sandwich board.

Me too! They’re super versatile for a lot of different build aesthetics, it’s great

Good eye!

That’s super clean. Is the wood cherry?

Love the look of wooden keyboards💕

You’re an amazing friend

Not a fan of wooden keyboards but i like the style and hope your friend likes it.

That's really cool! I like the look of wooden keyboards.

I just wanted to ask, since I got the same keyboard, does anyone know what the texture/material are the original keycaps made of? I'm trying to find a different set of keycaps but in the same material, I don't really mind if they are a different profile. I just like the texture of it, am I in the right path of saying that they are double shot, PBT? they are a bit grippy which is what I like about them, any information would be appreciated :)

I want one of these on my desk! I need 2x2U on mine though.

How are those caps when you're doing sustained typing sessions though? Any fatigue and errant keypresses?

Big thanks

What keycaps are those, and where can we get em? (I prefer blank keycaps) :)

Well it's hotswap (this version), so you can have any switches you want for a little extra price :)

Thanks mate I am looking for a 65% and this is at the top of my list, if only it came with yellows!

It's not really noticable. The aluminium frame is made from 4 elements on the 4 sides, the little line is where they meet. You can watch a modding video to get a better idea. The frame gives more weight and a more prémium feel to the board (because the case itself is plastic).

>They are factory lubed so I did not touch them (for now)

Sounds good, I would probably leave them as well.

That little line at each of the corners of the case at the top is the only other thing that is worrying me. Is it sharp/noticeable?

They are factory lubed so I did not touch them (for now), so I also did not clip the stab stem legs (but I will when I lube them myself). I'm not an expert in this hobby at all, but for me, the factory lube is quite good actually.

My only pain with the board is that the 2 screws holding the plate and PCB together is absolute crap, and my screwdriver demolished them, so I couldn't separate them in the end... I had to put the switch tabs in with a tweezer between the plate and PCB, it was so annoying.

It's a linux machine in terminal mode in a tweaked super 8 viewer. One big benefit has been getting my touch-typing to a level where it is becoming enjoyable.

EDIT: I've scribbled down a few more details:

This looks great - how were the stabs before you modded them?

I don’t know what this is but I love it

I will not lie, I am overly proud of cobbling together something that looks like I want my computer to look like...... so thank you!
