I'm building a 456GT and figured you all might like to see some pics... something of a build log with not so much talking really.

And yes, that is my cat sleeping in my lap while I solder.

Nice, Can't wait to see more pics and updates!!!

This silly thing is HEAVY! And that's without the plates. With the plates this thing is ridiculous.

Who's is it?!

That's going to be such a beauty! I could really use one for when the zombies attack....

Matte black is really nice. I'm curious to see how fast it picks up hand oils though.

Lucky guy, whoever owns this. Can't wait to see the final build!

SmallFry · « **Reply #7 on:** Wed, 19 December 2012, 21:01:18 »

I'd hazard a guess at Tsangan.

alaricljs · « **Reply #8 on:** Wed, 19 December 2012, 21:18:35 »

More pics, I stuck the controller together.

Acetrak · « **Reply #9 on:** Wed, 19 December 2012, 22:20:36 »

That is slick, can't wait to see more

Darn! I hate when real life gets in the way of me drooling over a keyboard!

Need more of these detailed build-logs. Thanks for sharing.

Finding one of those might be a little tough -_-...

Acetrak · « **Reply #17 on:** Sat, 22 December 2012, 23:09:19 »

Agreed, need moar pics!!

reverkiller · « **Reply #18 on:** Wed, 26 December 2012, 21:36:11 »

Any information behind this board? I'm curious, this build looks awesome and needs more pictures.

alaricljs · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 26 December 2012, 21:38:52 »

I fell ill... not to mention having a wife and 2 kids during Christmas doesn't give me much time.

PS - you did notice I posted a few more, yes?

It's sitting in front of me on the OR table right now.

Leewei · « **Reply #26 on:** Thu, 10 January 2013, 15:29:54 »

Total noob here. Those switches have such long fixing pins on them. Those are pcb mount switches right?

The ones in the bucket? Hand inserted diodes.

Yea the ones in the bucket. Errr.. a little confused now but does that mean those are plate mounted switches and you had diodes inserted instead of soldering the diodes separately onto the pcb?

alaricljs · « **Reply #30 on:** Thu, 10 January 2013, 15:41:53 »

They are PCB mount and I put the diodes inside the switches.

Leewei · « **Reply #31 on:** Thu, 10 January 2013, 15:43:09 »

I see, seeing there is a plate could you have used plate mounted switches?

alaricljs · « **Reply #32 on:** Thu, 10 January 2013, 15:47:31 »

Could have, yes. The PCB has the proper holes and there's nothing quite like the experience of the solidity of a plate+PCB mount build. Being a 6+lb KB it'll be rather interesting.

Leewei · « **Reply #33 on:** Thu, 10 January 2013, 15:49:16 »

Haha. Sounds good. Thanks for enlightening this noob here. =)

Nice update

alaricljs · « **Reply #35 on:** Sat, 19 January 2013, 18:25:32 »

Acetrak · « **Reply #36 on:** Sat, 19 January 2013, 18:45:16 »

Are there LED availability with this keyboard? Looking good!

alaricljs · « **Reply #37 on:** Sat, 19 January 2013, 20:09:15 »

Haven't gotten word on what color to install

Scr/Caps in-switch only.

tsangan · « **Reply #38 on:** Sat, 19 January 2013, 20:13:54 »

In one of the keyboard 1(maybe 2 i forgot) of the 4 profiles the scroll light LED is always on and just like the 356mini it does this

SmallFry · « **Reply #39 on:** Sat, 19 January 2013, 20:16:09 »

Cool! Is it supposed to blink when you depress a key? I think that would be annoying, but the fade effect is certainly cool.
