I finally finished putting it together! Many thanks again for the help as your guidance allowed me to confidently order the right parts!
The build as a whole was a success, but mine ended up rather pink-ish as opposed to purple. Since the color is such a big part of the build, I kind of feel a bit dissatisfied with the outcome.
The boba switches were really nice btw, very quiet (great for WFH), especially after lubing them. Not much thock, but rather a damp click sound profile (which might not be appreciated by most people).
In terms of usability of the GK64XS board.
- The bluetooth connection is very brittle. I can barely move it around which I need to do when clearing my desk for other work. It seems to work well though at its primary spot.
- Unlike my ASUS Falchion that is essentially connected at all times via 2.4 Ghz, the GK64XS needs a few seconds to reconnect after inactivity.
- I'm using AHK to remap my keys, so I haven't tried its proprietary software.
