In Scandinavia and just picked up this beauty

It's darker and more bordeaux or wine like in real life, my camera is making it more red than it is.
Its absolutely stunning to see it in person, it's the most beautiful piece of hardware I've ever had between my hands.
Congrats! Love the set up with the pen. Looks so shine putting together. :cool:
Macro shot of the anodizing and the badge

I've only found one tiny scratch on the inside of the bottom plate, otherwise my anodizing looks perfect. Gonna have to find a good cable for this board, not gonna use the bright red OnePlus cable from my phone
Dat macro mate. Thanks for the amazing photo.
Possible round 2 in the future : ) ?
The runner has said further up the thread that this is the last time that the board will be ran.
Yeah, this was already round 3...
We'll see.
I got mine, really regretting only getting silver. Still looks really nice. Might be a minor blemish or two which I can probably live with until I powder coat or some other new finish.
It went to my old address which luckily was only a 5 minute drive from the new place and the guy handed it right over
Also just realized I only added a brass plate and no second PCB. So either I need to buy a PCB, or sell a silver plate.
Glad you saved it! Hope you enjoy your keeb.

Added 1965. But only had plate mounted stabs:-(
Loves the look with 1965. :p

Remember to test the pcb first mate.
I have not removed the PCB from the packaging inside the case yet, but is there a way to build with a 7x spacebar? Or is it only the split (2.25 and 2.75) or 6.25 layout?
7u spacebar is not supported as you can see from the starting of thread. Both split and 6.25u work.
Sweden here. Picked it up at the post office today.
Dark red case looking intensely gorgeous! And it got better. I couldn't decide on a plate/badge color combo so I got both badges as well as gold, silver and brass plates. Glad I did. The mirror polished brass plate is one hell of a heavy and thick slab, shining at me like deer's eyes caught in headlights. I paired it with the titanium badge and it was a match made in heaven; the titanium bringing the surface back a little, letting that mirror polish shine. It will look amazing with light grey keycaps.
A few minor issues. The anodizing hadn't taken in a few places. Ca 2 mm inside the USB-C cutout, quite visible, but won't be when hooked up to a cable. There were also two barely visible ones (I had to look hard for these): a really small dot in the middle of the back between the rubber feet and a one mm hairline on one of the edges. Nothing major. Overall the anodizing looks perfect.
The inside had blemishes here and there, mostly on the inside of the back plate, on screw standoffs and white discoloring around the USB-C cutout. Once assembled none of that will be visible though.
But wasn't it supposed to come with two strips of rubber feet? I only got one...
Overall, a damn fine keyboard! I'm really happy about having joined this GB and look forward to building it.
Mate you are so good at making sentences to describe it haha. Glad you like it even though there might be some issues we had some hard time to fix.
Can't wait to see your photos after assembly.

Gray matches almost with everything well! Please share some pics when you finish it up. :thumb:
Backspace or Split Backspace? What's everyone thinking about doing? I haven't seen a split backspace ca66 yet
I did split

Nice set up mate. One of my mate was doing the same combo and it did look so nice.
dhl just showed up. the texture is really nice and smooth/matte feeling. now to test the pcb's

Nice to see someone got a Barry purple.
Just got mine as well. This looks a lot darker than I would have imagined. Is this dark red? Or brown?Show Image

It looks like dark red as the photo is quite dark and a bit blue.
Just picked mine up. The red is even more beautiful in person. Sadly I have a little anodization error on the front so the raw aluminum peeks through....oh well.
This is a tough one to pick keycaps for. I have GMk Red Samurai coming, but I may end up using dev/tty beige or, if that's not beige enough, 9009
Can you email me the photo for checking it?
Has anyone fully put together the board yet? I finished all the soldering just to find that the screws for usb-c connector pcb are missing.
Anyone else missing 3 screws for the USB-C daughter board?
Those 3 screws for USB connector should be installed in their holes. If you can't find them that means we probably missing to put them in.
They are M2.5*5. It would be great if you guys can find them near your place, since it would be so awkward for just sending 3 screws.
Here is the pic.
