Happy #MechanicalKeyboard #40sDay!
My favourite †40% keyboards:
1) custom #WorldspawnsKeebs #Shambles (world's smallest #TKL đ) in fluorescent acrylic with #Nephlock #GMK #Kaiju (bought from Drop)
2) #Ziptyze #Zlant (bought from #1UpKeyboards) with SA #Vilebloom
3) #TheVanKeyboards (#TVK) #MiniVan with GMK #Paperwork â IMHO the most usable 40%
4) #PyrooL #Alpha28 (sub-30% bought from WorldspawnsKeebs on Etsy) with GMK Pulse #Mitolet (from Drop)
Thanks to @petejohanson for the idea!
Backstory::
So before I got into mechanical keyboards, I always bought prefabs and never thought anything of mechanicals. Someone introduced me and convinced me to take on the hobby and had a smooth transition into becoming an enthusiast.
My first keyboard I had assembled myself was a GH60 Satan pcb with clear Gateron switches. I was aiming for a clear/rgb aesthetic. In the process of assembling it myself, I gained a lot of experience soldering and desoldering. This helped me land a better paying job I held for two year afterward before moving on. Overall, the entire process of putting together the parts and programming my keyboard was as much entertaining to me as it was insightful and educational.
In the pic(today):::
The pcb I use today is a
- #1upkeyboards 1UP RGB 60% PCB HTE (Hotswap Tsangan Edition)
- Clear #Gateron switches
- Clear blank keycap set from #MaxKeyboards as well as a few artesian keycaps
- Modified case from the original GH60 Satan
In the future:::
My next planned build is an #ergodox which I already have the resistors soldered onto the pcbs, but still need the remaining parts(switches, caps etc) which I will need to order.
