I'm going to put my Stargaze set on one of my GMMK TKL keyboards in the next few days.  :D

YUNZII KC68

Still figuring out what switches I like and this keyboard is so easy to take apart, mod, and then put back together.

I'm a big fan of the Tester68. I currently have about 16 of them kicking around right now.

The true endgame keyboard is not a perfect keyboard but a keyboard that makes you feel satisfied and at peace while using it  :)

I've been using an RS60 for a while now, probably three months at this point. Have it with MX Blacks and PBT keycaps, and it feels great. The mods don't sound perfect, but getting hung up on stuff like that has always seemed a bit silly, especially when you rarely ever use them compared to the alphas. I definitely understand all the hype behind top-mounted blacks at this point, though - there's just something special about the combo even if it isn't realistically the "best" in any way.

My other daily-use board is an FC660c. I've been looking for a metal housing for it, but it just seems a bit overkill, especially when all the other mods I've done have specifically been to get the board as silent as possible. And there's just something special about a Topre board in the OEM plastic housing, anyways.

Boston is a keyboard not a brand, it's an open source project, so you can get it anytime, it will be expensive though, so you should look into everything to do with getting a one of here before spending money (at least for an alu version, believe you can print it)

This vendor called rndkbd does sell a 3d printed version if you don't want to go your own route - https://rndkbd.com/products/boston-keyboard-kit?_pos=1&_psq=boston&_ss=e&_v=1.0

There is also a full alu version that will be run at group buy soon (but it's really expensive) - https://rndkbd.com/products/boston-keyboard-kit?_pos=1&_psq=boston&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Glorious Pandas were never in meta. Drop's HPs were in meta when they came out since you didn't have to frankenswitch, but other hyper tactiles have come out that are really good as well.

Yeah Glorious Pandas were made specifically to cash in on the holy pandas, they were like seen as a cheaper alternative, but they had a different stem and the leafs were worse for some reason (even though they had similar to identical moulds I'm pretty sure). The original name of them were the "Glorious Holy Pandas" which caused drama to the point where they had to change the name. There are so many large bump tactiles which are cheaper than the Glorious Pandas/Holy Pandas that feel similar that they aren't really worth it anymore.

Everybody is different, but "glorious pandas" fatigue my fingers.  It's unpaid work to press them.  I think you'd have to be slamming the keys like a plumber with sausage fingers to want to use them.  But hey, plumbers have to type too.

I use a Das Keyboard 4 Professional. I suppose a $200 keyboard for each user might not be justified 10.0.0.0.1 192.168.1.254 .
