i just received my assembled board from E3E today. he did a fantastic and detailed job with every aspect of the build. thanks so much, E3E!
also, many thanks to billnye, photekq, pr0ximity, and yicaoyimu for their generous help and superb advice when i was gathering parts for this and figuring out how the hell to get the firmware programmed.
i'm really excited about this board! this is my first assembled full alu case board, and it's also my first board with good linear switches as well. vintage lubed blacks with 60g sprit springs (+72g for spacebar) and pink stickers (and nixdorf top for the esc), gold sprit stabs (clipped and bandaid modded), SIP sockets with green LEDs, and Mimic carbon fiber sleeved PS/2 cable.
bonus cat picture. she always hangs out with me when i am doing stuff.
