@hb3xew does #Digikey or #Mouser have an actual physical warehouse in Europe? I once ordered some #Millmax parts from Digikey and I think they sent them all the way from the US to Germany. But yeah, #Conrad and #Reichelt of course don’t ship even a fraction of what Digikey has in stock.

@marvka: Thanks! Although admittedly not much of my own work on it—soldering nearly 200 #Millmax hotswap sockets, two per key and some more for alternative layouts and the mouse buttons—can be seen in the picture. :-)

The #Tex #Shinobi is btw. still available, either read-made at https://tex.com.tw/products/shinobi or as #DIY kit without switches at https://tex.com.tw/products/shinobi-diy-type

Shinobi

And this is the second #mechanicalkeyboard kit I soldered this weekend. It's a #Tex #Shinobi #DIY kit modeled after the Thinkpad X220 keyboard. It now sports #Millmax #hotswap sockets and #Zealios v2 67g #switches. I might change that to #Zilents if I'll take into the office—once I'll move back there from homeoffice.

The #keycaps are Tex #ADA keycaps and came with this keyboard as it requires key cap sizes smaller than the common key cap size. IIRC the F-row and cursor keys are 0.87u keycaps.
