Title: My Gon and GH60 Build Log!
Post by: GooNyang on Sat, 02 April 2016, 22:05:04
Long time Korean lurker, first post, please be kind! (Sorry for grammatical errors, please correct me!) I decided to show you my build log of acrylic Gon tkl and GH60!

I got into mechanical keyboard game with CM Quick Fire Rapid (now sold ^-^) and now buying more and more boards! Each day browsing on geekhack and kbdlab makes me feel like a noob and still have a long way to go though  :p


I now have 7 keyboard with various cherry, alps, topre switches but so far my favorites are green alps and vintage mx browns!!  ;D
Enough chit chatting, let's get down to the show.

GH60!!

I wanted to see if PCB-mounted tactile switches actually feel better than the plate mounted ones so built GH60 with exactly the same switch and clipped and lubed stabilizers (ek lube)  ;D Again, Krytox 103 lubed.

Same Process  :p
