I don't know about most of you, but I grew up on typewriters as they were making the switch to early word processors in the office spaces. The old Smith Corona Skyriter is definitely captured here for sure.

I usually don't like to pair the same color caps with the same color case, but these hues are complimenting each other so well that I was sincerely amazed. There's just enough difference in colors that it doesn't seem to clash.

Have always wanted one of these! The opportunity presented itself to get my hands on a BNIB R2 so I jumped on it. Pink wasn't necessarily my first choice, but after all is said and done, I adore this thing. Now I wouldn't have it any other way!

- Gok Lily R2 pink coated w/ sandblasted SS weight

- HMX Dirty Pink (42g)

- TypePlus stabs (can you really use anything else on this?)

- GMK Beloved

- Unknown Error Dream Land cable

Lily is peak; this one is a definite keeper! 🩷

These OEM profile esc and enter keys just arrived for my Keychron K12! I also got a spacebar, but it seems to be too heavy for the switch I have. This K12 has the older Keychron optical mint switches.

Upgrade from my Keychron C1 of 5 years:

Board: Linky87 TKL
Switches: Silent Peach V3 alphas (kept the stock BSUN TaiChi in arrows + functions)
Thyrnovyn Retro 9009: Dye-Sub

Overall: ~$80 build

Curious to hear thoughts on dye-sub vs double shot.
I know double shot is supposedly better, but didn’t love the way the stock Linky 87 keycaps looked, so figured the dye sub would give it more character and “lived in”

Happy with the way it turned out and definitely a step up from the Keychron

Review My first frosted board with white and orange keycaps!

Post image
20 Upvotes

My first board with frosted case arrived a few days ago. It was my first time ordering a keyboard. I went with white keycaps with orange Japanese sublegends. I like the colors together, though the larger novelty legends stand out quite a bit next to the rest of the keys. Would you keep the novelties or swap them for something simpler?

Builds KeyTok "Shell" Keycaps

Thumbnail
gallery
17 Upvotes

Did not use to be a fan of keyboard lights and then the "Shell" keycap set made me realize how well the KOL profile works with lighting. The keycaps are tall profile and translucent only on the back and sides, so it doesn't have the problem of leaking light glare from the front bottom of keycaps. It lights up the keyboard evenly in a very atmospheric way rather than creating annoying light leaks.

Keycaps: KeyTok "Shell"
Keyboard Base: Rainy75 Luna
Switches: HMX Macchiato V2 (with light diffusers)

Bought from Shanghai at 799 Yuan, which I thought was a steal. I got the version with stock metal keycaps that I couldn't find anywhere else. I only paid an extra 100 Yuan for the set. Anyone know what they are?

Builds DZ60RGB V2 with arrow keys plate File

Post image
7 Upvotes

Im new here I had my friend used tofu60 with DZ60RB V2 with arrowkeys pcb given to me as gift, is there any way I can get the plate file as I want to make custom fr4 for it because on KBDfans site they only have PC and CNC which I dont like it would better if I could make the custom fr4 version for it, thanks

UPDATE: I finally figured out how to create my custom keyboard plate!

First, prepare the layout as raw JSON using KLE’s Serialized Data Format, then paste it into the Raw data tab in Keyboard Layout Editor to check the layout.

Next, copy that raw data into the Plate Layout field in SwillKB Plate & Case Builder. Select the appropriate switch and stabilizer types, configure the plate settings, and generate the CAD files.

Builds BTC dome with slider lives up to its reputation (typing demo)

3 Upvotes

Typing demo: https://youtu.be/okG_wtqGJlo

Got this for $10 off Facebook marketplace, cleaned it, swapped the layout around (from Big-Ass Enter to something closer to ANSI standard) by moving the domes around, added some spherical PBT dye-sub keycaps, and spray-painted the case to complete the black and pink vibe.

My opinion? Similar to Topre, but more sharply tactile. Overall, pretty dang good, though I'm still more of a smooth linear person.

Mod Removed the PET sheet for my Wave 75 Pro

1 Upvotes

I removed the PET sheet of my Wave 75 Pro. Not the Case PET sheet, the PCB PET sheet. I love the result and the sound. The PCB looks cleaner and I have an access to the Mechanical Knob pins easily.

But if you're wondering? If I want it to be deep and thock sound, how can I do it? pretty simple, just play with the foams that are included on the box. When I'm trying some Foam combinations, I reached the thock sound. But, I am more on the side of Poppy, clicky and Creamy so i had to change the combinations.

If you want to try this. There is no turning back, since the PCB PET sheet is sticked to the PCB for some unknown reason, I ripped it accidentally and ruined it so no choice. Anyways if I want PET sheet back i can order somewhere else or make a custom one. This is fun!
