The Compboard - A Custom, Composite, Mechanical Keyboard

This is amazing. I wish I'd thought of it.
My only feedback is it might have helped to print the text that's on the "rear" of the caps (facing away from you) upside-down so that, when you tilt the board up toward you to read it or crane your neck over to see the backside you'll be reading the legends rightside-up.
Just... wow, this is so great.

Sorry, I guess I should have explained more, the idea of the ones on the back is that when doing a bit of dev, you use this as an additional keyboard and so forms a kind of secondary shortcut board. The idea is you have it displayed backside forward for that use. (turned 180 degrees).
Same applies to sides, turned 90 degrees as a secondary keyboard.
Thanks though :)
also to everyone else, really appreciate the positive comments :)

Keyboard of the month nomination for June isn't up yet but you've got my vote!

Oh man, that's so kind!
In my world, everything has to be orange! Honestly though, since I started adding orange to my life, my life has been very good, lots of luck and so I just continue to surround myself with it. lol
