It only took a year or so, but I finished rebuilding my VE.A with the proper switches it deserves!
This is my first time trying SA since besides my Dolch Pac, it's my only MX keyboard. Coming from GMK, I didn't think I would really care for the profile but it has really grown on me! I still might throw Solarized Dark on here once that arrives.
Specs:•Holtites installed for switches only
•Krytox lubed and stickered PCB mount vintage blacks from a
busted up eBay NCR G80-0427. None of the mold numberings exceed 20.
•Gateron blacks on the macros, vintage grey for the spacebar.
•Springs swapped with Victorinox lubed SPRiT 63.5g 24k gold springs.
•GMK screw-in stabs with WYSE (pre-clipped) plate mounted inserts. Gold plated screws and wires.
•Black 3M Vinyl applied where the white pcb is exposed and as landing pads for stabilizers.
•Spacebars sourced from a 1976 grab-bag in order to match the Chocolatier alphas.
•SIP sockets paired with the color change lock LEDs
•Wenge wrist rests from Alienman's groupbuy.
I also posted in the VE.A thread, please don't hate me for the keycaps and sub-par photography!
