Finally, the Focus FK-555 has been procured. Alps SKCM Blue switches, awesome powder-coated, pebble-textured white metal back, double shot Tai Hao keys, rubberized flip out feet similar to the Northgate Omnikey's feet, and all in excellent condition without any yellowing. This will fill the spot the FAME formerly held before it became more of a mantle piece, since I don't want to use it anymore out of not wanting to shine it's unique caps.
Verified before hand that this does not have NKRO, so the Leading Edge DC-3014 is the only ANSI blue alps board that I know of that has NKRO.
Very stoked to get it though, especially since it's one of the few Alps boards I won't have to restore!

Aside from that, I've got a custom and lovingly made Battlestation 10 rest. I had mentioned some imperfections in the rest I had originally ordered, not as complaints, but just to bring it to Den's attention.
He offered to build one specifically for my Hammer Alps board in dual tone red and black using curly maple with heavy patterning and new techniques he devised for the resin coating.
Told me it's one of his top three rests that he's made! I am SO hyped for this to come in. I can't wait!
