Dolch Accent 2-RAL 180 60 50, CP legends
L9 BAE- L9 base, CR legends



Why?
After growing up using keyboards that had the BAE key, it is sad that it became redundant. I've been in the hobby for years now and there have been countless GB's but only a few had BAE.
So I decided to do this


Why Icon Mod BAE?

Cherry G80-2100 HDU
Because it is cursed beautiful, Just look at it!
Also why not?

Which stablizers would they use?
BAE will work with ANSI stablizers due to a new mould developed for GMK Beige Addon Kits.



Vendors
NA- Sneakbox
UK-Prototypist
EU-Oblotzsky
SEA-Ilumkb
Ocenia - Cafege
India- Neomacro

mcmcmc was gracious enough to make text+icon BAE ANSI compatible. I am not sure about Icon Mod BAE, will have to confirm with GMK.

Double checking for clarity...

Use ANSI pbc, put normal switch and stabilizers on Enter, take the spring out of the pipe key switch (and contact leaf if you cannot program to be nothing), and adorn both with BAE?  Is that how it works?

In for one of each probably. These are fun. Glad that you're using original Dolch + Dolch R5 colors.

Btw, your text under the beige render is hardly readable with the dark GH theme.

I need confirmation what mounting the Icon mod BAE uses but the text BAE will work with Ansi stabilizers and uses dummy switch in pipe key position so you won't have to remove the switch.

Thank you, dolch is one of my favorite keysets of time  :D

I've found that using a very light spring (like 10-20g) works better than no spring for dummy switches but no spring definitely works too.

Really cool project mate, probably down for wob, dolch and beige if there aren't many extras of the beige addon kit (not the biggest fan of bow, and the one set I have that looks like it isn't CR for the legends, it's more of a grey so it wouldn't match). GLWIC

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.
| hhkb bt
More
lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.
| m0115
More
bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.
| praxis
More
gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.
| camo filco
More
stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.
| baebae tkl
More
Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

I would definitely change every single board I have with BAE!! This is one of my favorite thing to do on alps board!

Count me in! I've always loved BAE, I recently got one in the DCS WOB GB and I've been so happy to have a custom board with this goofy big-ass key on it.

I'm also very curious about this, since AFAIK GMK has a variety of moulds for BAE. Compatibility wise, an ANSI mount with a blank key in Pipe positition would be optimal since virtually all custom keyboards have ANSI support, while ISO support is (unfortunately) less common.

so, that older mold you are showing in the flipped over cap is not ANSI compatible...

Yes its from the Cherry G80-2100HBU, afaik its the only board that had an Icon mod BAE...
The stab positions are very different from ISO or ANSI.

Ah, gotcha. I couldn't tell from the post if that was the icon or the rest of them. If the rest are ANSI compatible, all should be good
