It's an OTD 456 - red switches with black springs and lubed. It's a tasty keyboard!

New delivery today from Mr Margo himself - GON NerD TKL with lubed & stickered vintage blacks and orange LEDs both for the switches and sides LED









Looks particularly nice with some nice dyesubs on :D  Not original Cherry I hasten to add :p

A truly awesome job by Margo - really top notch work :thumb:

Hey dude, do you have LEDs in stock? Looking for white ones for yet another project other than the switch swap I will be sending your way soon :P
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

I think these are potentially the best switches I've modded/lubed, I'm not saying any I've done in the past are bad, but these just seem sublime, though I've not capped the board as it's not mine, and I've already re-wrapped it in soft stuff, so you'll have to ask b7ad in a little while :)

Whose idea was it to use clear tops with colored stickers? Awesome idea that turned out really well... Now I feel like an idiot for buying black stickers.

All b7ad! I just turned his dreams into reality :) you wait until you see his next board  :-X :-X :-X :-X

watch this space. hype.

It will literally be a 6 week-ish wait until I get time to build it - but if you don't mind waiting, then I can :)

Yea that's fine. If you're still in Brighton I may be able to get a friend to drop it off if that's ok. I need lube, white switch LEDs, switch stickers (don't mind colour) and clear switch tops, do you have any of those on hand?

i just wanted lots of pink and clear tops, it turned out really sweet! you have done an incredibly beautiful job on this board Margo, I can't wait to see it!

so much hype for the next board, look forward to getting both of them into my grubby hands  :p

This sounds very promising!  :eek: you are the crazy keyboard wizard of the west after all. I have heard many good things about your switch tuning skills!

Looking forward to my first Margo build, I've heard tales of your skills!
It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

these were for one of my boards, but I had a problem with the stickers brad sent, which were admittedly better - so I offered him these instead as I'm never going to get round to stickering a board for myself :D I'm not sure where these came from, well I got them from bunny, but this was last year some time, maybe even longer ago.
