[GB] ComPact SQ - 1800 Inspired [COMPLETE]

[Steezus]

I might get the feet and the top skin (got the clear bottom skin) redone in gunmetal.  Not sure yet though.  Don't have a silver board right now.

That would be a good look.. do you have a source for re-annodizing? Pricey? I kind of like the silver right now too.. though I have a couple other silver boards already.. both 60% though.

I've never had it done before.  I couldn't tell you.

Anodizing in the United States is a bit more pricy and hard enough to find a shop willing to do a small job, it's been $80-120 for a tkl size keyboard but since these are just slabs I imagine it's much less.


For the debate:

The feet is from duck and the skin is from LZ.

Oh I'll probably just keep it the same then.  I think they are both done well. Very happy with the board.  Just gotta find time to build it

With all that clack money you're getting why would you spend ~$100 on getting it reanodized? It'll be a one off and super rare, since that seems like what most people care about nowadays.

Please no salt in my thread please.

No salt at all, I was asking him a valid question. I personally think getting a different color would be nice, titanium grey is one of my favorites.

K.  360C not rare or worth money.

For those needing replacements let leeku and I know, whether or not it was hardware or software or accidents.. leeku will be the decided for these.

There are extra's (some) allocated for this.

So here are some more pictures, please excuse the half blank/half grab bag keyset I have on it.

To start, here are my JigOn settings.  Set to solid white (5 minute timeout) with default layout except for the removal of the FN key (only using one layer at this time):

Oh yeah you guys are right, the screws on the top of Dooms case should have tipped me off. And there is acrylic in there. I should quit drinking at work.

theres no IC but leeku sure will release it after this GB..
this is post from leeku himself

There are lots of gorgeous TKL keyboards out there!
I like those cool keyboards rather than this. Haha
For me? I love my Orion v2 with ALPS linear.
Sorry I don't have any plan for TKL but do have75% 65% 60% version of this.

and theres so many post about 75% on page 5 if you want to read it

and about the aluminum we still dont know yet

Man seeing that 75% pic again makes me want it more.  This GB went so well.     I have some clears I need to put to good use

That 75 does look awesome but 75 is my least favorite layout

Please find the attachment for the partial drawing file. If you want any mod for your CPSQ .

I am assuming you could use this drawing file to get custom cases cut.

Anyone know of a place that does so?

As far as metal plates there is bigbluesaw I think is fairly popular but looking locally is usually the best route.

[redbanshee]

As far as metal plates there is bigbluesaw I think is fairly popular but looking locally is usually the best route.

Bigbluesaw plates are BAD, like not even a little good. Definitely find somewhere else. Ive gotten strait up rusty/scratched up steel plates with tons of burs and holes that needed to be hand worked on to fit switches in. Fair warning, stay away from BBS unless your are using acrylic (pretty hard to mess that up).

[Rodgaroon]

I know Leeku said isn't planning on doing a TKL but I wish he would change his mind. That's the next and last keyboard I want in my collection. If the Canadian dollar increase in the next few years I may get a Jane but as it stands right now that board would close me around $1000 for parts accembly, shipping, exchange rate, etc.
