New PCB (w/ gold plate) and keycaps.
I wish I could figure out how to install TMK firmware to clean up the layout a bit.
And I need to find a black 6.25x spacebar that I can flip around. I haven't used a properly oriented spacebar in a LONG time.
GH60 w/ ergo clears in an LZ CE case.

Haha, shipping from Originative wasn't ideal? It got to you pretty quick!
Looks good though. The CE reminds me a lot of the Weaven, mainly because of the black accents on the sides.
I just don't like Originative from past experience.
Seems like Sherry's ironed out the kinks though.
That's a really interesting 60% case. Not many good metal 60%'s out there that are easy to find.
I'm really pleased with it. I wasn't planning on getting a 60%, but I've always been interested in the CE. I traded a blue ice CC for it, and I think it was worth it.
I'm very impressed with the weight, as well as the noise reducing qualities of it. It's probably the quietest keyboard I've owned, and that includes my KUL (o-rings, deskmat, clears) and my realforce (45g uniform). I'll probably use it for a while, especially if I can find something to carry it around in.
I flashed some new firmware onto it, too, so now I have a layout that I'm really happy with. Someone on a discord server I frequent helped me install it.
A few minor gripes though: I never put the feet out on my other keyboards, so this one is a lot steeper than I'm used to. The GH60 I bought to put into this case, while it has some great switches, doesn't have LEDs, so I don't know if I have caps lock on or not. This is fixable, though. I'll probably do a full LED install soon, just have to figure out how to do it, and where I can find some soldering equipment to borrow in NYC. Also, the keycaps I bought for it can't handle flipping the spacebar because the switch is off center. I'm not really bothered by this, but it does mean that I have to relearn where I put my thumb.
Overall I'm extremely pleased with it so far.
