I got my teensy and diodes soldered, and then had to start packing to move.  My garage/workbench aren't going to be accessible for weeks at least now, so in this state it waits.  :-[

When they design those acrylic cases, they need to recess the screw heads so they don't stick out like that. That would be quite annoying especially if your hand is resting where one of them pops up at.

These are the rarest of the rarest acrylic cases from yours truly.  Very nicely matched.  Red switches for red accent.  Blue switches for blue accent.

Well, I guess you could just use flat top screws as there really isn't much room to recess the top of it. Just a personal nitpick of mine. Other than that, I think they are fabulous.

I mean if your hands touch any keyboard case where the screws are when you type.  I said this before, I run my fingers over the the screw heads as I stop typing and start thinking.  Kind of like playing with your goatee when you go "hum'.

Have the screws sunk is doable, but requires gluing the top two layers of acrylic so the screws can clamp into the second layer without letting the top layer loose.  I chose not to do it, or you would see jizz-like glue stain a la MKC's acrylic cases, especially on clear acrylic cases.

tsangan, I demand a picture of this with black keycaps on, as I'm interested in how mine is going to look in the future. <:

I've been a bit worried about putting a black plate in a white litster case, since I temporarily have a Filco with white plate in mine, and it goes great with black doubleshots.

Whoever owned the set before must have rage-quitted 1000 times a day from work and games.

Phantoms are looking great guys, especially in those litster cases.

Very nice to see the first 7bit layout posted. Which bottom one is the space bar? And since the edges of the small space bar is not rounded, does it feel uncomfortable to press with your thumb?
