An oldie but goodie. MrBishop sent moistgunando a case after seeing his handmade keypad. A perfect companion for 60%; wonder if there will be a GB since the QazPad v2 is stagnant... :duckthink:

My Noxary X60 in Dark Gray with a brushed Stainless Steel, top mounted plate. I lubed the Gateron blacks with stock springs, lubed and clipped the gold plated stabs and stuck some DSA Hyperfuse on there to create my daily driver. It took me about 140 days to get to the current state - from learning how to use CAD software, to getting to milled parts, to final lubing and usage.
