Hi all,

Need to get some monies together so a board must go. I have 5, though I know there are worse culprits about here :D!

I use my 60% the least and prefer TKL.



Full build album with better pictures is here: http://imgur.com/a/gBROA

It started life as a standard MX blue poker 2 in ISO layout and all that remains now is the PCB.
-Pexon PCs solid aluminium case made by Vortex.
-"The Beast" custom laser cut titanium plate...yes it is actually titanium. (The plate has the little notches so that switch tops can be removed without soldering...you could change springs, re lube or change switch type in an instant! This was part of an experimental group buy where we could get any layout we wanted cut in a sheet of aircraft grade Ti, lasered in the US
-Cherry MX clears from 7bit were used. (a couple of spare switches will be provided with the board in case of any unfortunate events in its future life)
-Krytox lubed (Krytox from SPRIT)
-65g gold springs from SPRIT (Keyboard will come with some spares. There were enough for a full keyboard in the bag so the remainder from the ones used for the 60% will be provided)
-Blue switch stickers from originative in the US
-Stabilisers are standard cherry ones from the poker 2 donor
-layout is ISO
-Doesn't come with keycaps

It's got a decent weight to it :) Nice and sturdy on the desk.
PM me if interested. Ask is £155 +paypal fees and shipping. Ideally within UK. It is located in UK. Shipping to Europe is doable too. I can look into US shipping if needs be but think that'll cost significantly more.

Looks like a good deal for alum case, titanium plate, stickered switches, etc.

Should sell fast and well!

Yeh it cost near double the ask to put together but I'm in a tight spot, beggars can't be choosers ;) A standard poker 2 is £90 alone! A lot of extras for this price!


Also, getting a lot of trade offers, no trades unfortunately.

Try selling something else.

Don't tell me this beauty is your worst or least favourite keyboard?

I like the price but have really no use for it since I totally don't use this layout.

Artonkn, these are Ducky PBT yellow laser engraved keycaps. And I am selling my set, if anyone is interested.

That's what I was thinking, but I can't seem to see the engraving in the picture, worried about the colour as it varies in so many pictures.

Easier said than done for the blanks in ISO.

It's not my worse or least favourite. Just the one I think the market would be most interested in and I have some bills to pay this month that aren't going to go away :D.

It is harder to get ISO parts for sure...took a lot of time locating and waiting for the parts for this... about 18 months I think. I thought about building my ultimate ISO 60% maybe 2 years ago and it took that long for the opportunities for each part to arise, be made, and be delivered.

I have other boards which aren't as fancy and I use them a lot more as my day job workhorse and gaming boards. Mainly I use a Novatouch at work and then a vintage black 62g spring'd ducky for home and gaming. This one is used when I fancy a change or sometimes for FPS to give more room for the mouse.

TLDR: Need money, this is probably the fanciest keyboard I have and I could raise the most funds out of my selection. It won't "put me out of operating business" as I have my other two workhorse TKLs so I can get by :)


(Yes the caps pictured are engraved Ducky PBT from a YYY edition shine 3)

When I see an Englishman taking on a name like fart_toast, I always think of the black stuff we sometimes got on our toasts as kids in the 1970s. Back then the colonial influence was still around. Some adults ate that stuff, so they made kids eat that also.

Fortunately this terrible habit is dying out. The next generation of Englishmen will be dipping their naan and chapatis in curries...

Marmite, vegemite, bovril, whatever. I can't tell the difference. They all made me nauseous but when I was a kid I had to eat them at the childcare because the damn fierce Indian fat lady thought they were healthy and nutritious. And no, we had no naan or chapati or curry at the childcare because spicy food was not for kids.
