Steezus's Orion v2 Build Log
The Orion v2 was one of the first customs that I laid my eyes on when I first came to Geekhack. It then sparked my interest in keyboards, wanting to build and collect as many boards as possible. This is my first ever Korean board and I am more than pleased by the quality. The board arrived Saturday, November 21st, 2015. I was so excited to finally get the board that I spent the entire day working on it. This is my second board I have ever built and I am very pleased with my work. I do end a making a few dumb mistakes like clipping half the switches before I realized I forgot stabs, oops. My other mistake was messing up the polarity of the LEDs, I like to sip socket all my switches so I saved myself a lot of pain.
I was planning on doing a much more detailed build log but I was quite excited to get my board done and had company over so my time was limited.
My overall plan for the board is:
- Orion v2 Winkeyless Black Aluminum Top with Silver Aluminum Bottom
- Plastic Plate
- 65g Tactile Zealio Switches, Sip-Sockets and Pink LEDs
- Gold Stabilizers
- GMK Hyperfuse
- GMK CMYW Modifier Set

What's Next?
I am still waiting on my Hyperfuse set, I bought it off a fellow member who purchased it on the very last day of the group buy. Luckily though it seems like the last of the sets are being shipped out and then my board will be complete. My OTD Red Alert is going to be on my Jane CE when I receive and build that.
