I mean I have a personal problem with not liking them but that won't stop me from assembling a board with them for you.

Can't guarantee I won't accidentally break a few switches though since I heard they're so prone to damage

red KMAC is completed, will move onto ergo dox and poker 2. I added a disclaimer about any damage or accidents that may occur while your board(s) is/are in my hands. Basically I'll do my best to make things right, I'm not doing this to make money but more so to help out anyone who needs it.

Quick before and after pics will be posted when I awake, I'm exhausted.

EDIT: Pics up in first post :)

Sifo offered to meet up with me because I was curious to know what 62g clear switches felt like and ended up bringing along his crazy awesome boards. A few weeks later I requested that he assemble two KMACs for me. He went out of his way to source parts so that I didn't have to order stuff online and pay more in international shipping charges. He's a stand-up dude and you should get in touch with him if you need anything done :thumb:

Picked up the boards yesterday!

Potato Pic Preview, until there's better light to take pics tomorrow.


Sifo did a great job with the boards! The Ergodox looks great as does the Poker with the new plate (am typing on it now, been a while! I missed it...)

Was able to stop by his place and check out his boards, had to of course see the GON board with the Miami set. Was cool too see his collection of artisan keys also, having never seen a Clack or Bro Cap until then. We hung out for a bit and had a small Canadian Keycon haha.

Overall really happy with the results, was good to talk to someone else about mechanical keyboards for once and actually be able to talk about topics that would be too obscure or geeky for most people IRL. Thanks Dude!

All four! (technically 3, yellow/white alphas from Penumbra) Will mix it up to start, use the Calm Depth Ergo mods on one side, Penumbra Ergo mods on the other, 23 commando alphas on one hand...then not sure haha. Will try a few variations.

I'm quite backed on orders right now, especially with my summer course taking up the majority of my time.



I'm still taking orders til the end of this month, and then I'm taking 2 weeks off towards the end of August. After that regular school will have started up again so we'll see if I can ease into getting a couple of boards done.

Thanks everyone for your continued support thus far <3

LEDs I always go for the ones on eBay from Hong Kong, it takes a while but they've stepped up their postal service lately. Have never had issues in the past and they're cheap.

Other parts I do bulk orders in waves from mouser to save on shipping :/

And I've updated the OP with some more pictures.
