I forgot to post a picture of my liberation devices yesterday. Here is one of the two premade ones I got and the one DIY kit I got.
So much fun with this hobby!

You Scandinavians and your fast shipments... I just hope mine are here today maybe. Stupid customs. :P

BTW, phetto, is is pronounced p(h)etto or fetto?

phetto :)) Your nickname has made me laugh and feel ashamed for laughing at the same time, but it's still funny. I wish I had thought of something clever like that ;).

I got two boards today, both alps.  The first is an SGI granite with dampened white alps.  The second is a rare old logo Dell with salmon/pink alps.

Not exactly posted, although it would have been had I decided to pay postage, which I didn't, but anyway ...



With Cherry MX blacks ...



A shame about the branding, but it doesn't bother me.  This is my first PC keyboard with MX blacks (the other is an old terminal keyboard), and it feels smooth :)
"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

QWERkeys made them for me.
I was just thinking since there's the China flag, Korea Flag, and Japan flag, i'd show off some Taiwan pride and order some.

Seemed a waste to order like 2 keys, so i got 10 and will put some up in classified for those who'd be interested
unless im the only person from taiwan lol

Got my QFR at work yesterday and installed some blank Ducky PBT's. It's louder and a bit "grittier" than my DKS2 is, but I think that's cause I've had a lot of typing time on the Ducky and the QFR just needs some "breaking in".

Edit;

356mini, Rebel 2.0 Keycap set, Gold plated 62g springs, some awesome Korean tea, metallic cherry logo stickers and other stuff:








Some of the best packaging I have ever seen. The shipper also adding in the tea was an unexpected and awesome touch.
