Hello Geekhack
« on: Wed, 28 October 2015, 18:32:57 »
I'm Gonhop! Been lurking here for a while and finally decided to get to posting. I'm quite enthralled by the entire mechanical keyboard community and hope to see it continue to grow and prosper! My current daily driver is a KBP V60 with MX clears, quieted down with some clear O-rings (squishier than 40A-L WASD rings), sound dampening foam under the board, and a sanded stock case. If you want, check out some of the random photos I have in my sig. Hope to see ya'll around!  ;D

Welcome! I have the exact same board. How difficult was the sanding? I have two aluminum cases coming in so I'll have the KBP v60 case to play around with and sanding looks like something within my skill zone  :))

crumping is like twerking but it's all about getting low with force.

It was fairly easy and only took a bit of elbow grease and time. Here's a short album of the process

Welcome to Geekhack!

Nice photos :)

I also see you have a fountain pen, at least there is a fountain pen in one of the photos.  Did you know we have a fountain pen thread?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
