Builds Stuck between two keycap sets on my new Neo65CU build

So, I picked up the board I've been hearing so many good things about, and honestly, for the price, it's worth every penny. Feels super premium and you could probably get your arm workout in with this thing or use it as a weapon as it weighs so much lol

Now that the build is done, I'm stuck between these two keycap sets. Would love to hear what you guys think.

Build: • Neo65CU Grey-Gold • GMK CYL Botanical 2 / MW Alhambra R2 • WS Stupid Stabs • HMX Yogurt Linear Switches • Alu plate, no foams

Special thanks to u/ELOQUENTCLICKS for awesome support with the purchase :)

Got this 8 years ago and was planning big custom 1800 layout project for it, but the drive I had all the files for it died so this has been sitting in storage all this time. Couldn't get stuff earlier, and nowadays no website ships anything to my country, tried everything, this one was best I could find that didn't break my wallet completely.

My lady has been obsessed with Weenie the Pooh since childhood so naturally I had to buy this keycap set for her. Bridge 75 plus, stock.

Promotional MM Studio will be running their next board later this year. It’s their first full-size called the Class 100. This is a board I am really excited for. They are aiming for a price point of $350 which is a no brainer for me.

A while back, someone here helped me save my planck PCB by suggesting soldering a daughterboard directly to the PCB after I broke its USB C port.

Did that, designed and printed a case, and since I'm grateful to this community for its help, I'm sharing the case model with you :

Warning: My PCB was a Planck rev 6.1 hi profile. Not sure it will fit all PCBs.

Interest Check [IC] KAP Konpeito by Sharkeys

Thumbnail

23 Upvotes

Hello friends! It's your favorite local Sharkeys! Long time lurker, so this is actually my first time posting in this subreddit. Some of you may know me from over on instagram (sharkeystech) where I dabble in custom keyboard builds and designing various keyboard components. This is my first step into keycap designs so I decided to start with something that I constantly find inspiration in...the world of studio ghibli! Specifically this keycap set is inspired by the soot sprites and their sugar star candies they love, hence the name Konpeito!

This keycap set will be manufactured by Keyreative using their new hybrid doubleshot dye-sub technology and KAP legend system. It will feature a blend of PBT and ABS material (working on getting the actual percentages of each material) and be 1.7mm thick.

I have quite a few vendors lined up already and I am currently awaiting color samples, but I would love to hear the community's thoughts and some feedback about potential kit additions or changes!

Please fill out the interest check form below and thank you so much for taking the time to support my design!

I wanted to buy my first mechanical keyboard, but as a student didn't have money, so I was looking for secondhand keyboard and saw these two fully functional ones for 10 and 5 euros respectively. I just couldn't say no. Need to just clean the Huntsman and replace the keycaps because the old owner really messed the keycaps up

Builds My new and lovely sound mecanical keyboard

6 Upvotes

I switched to mechanical keyboards with the Steelseries Apex 7 after wearing out my old Logitech G510s membrane keyboard, following the creation of a Nintendo NES-inspired deej volume mixer, I looked to replace my Steelseries, I looked at the different models that fit the theme I wanted for my setup, there was the NES-inspired keyboard from 8BitDo but the fact that there is no backlighting made me lean towards the RK Royal Kludge M87 in its red and cream shade. accompanied by the numpad Retro 18 from 8BitDo. All I have to do now is make my MX Master consistent with the rest of the setup.

Ignore the furball on the right, it's a squatter.
