Some photos of my latest keyboard. It's taken about 6 months to source the parts for this. Totally worth it. These photos are resized. For full size photos please see
It's not really a full build log, since there wasn't much to do other than mod the switches, solder on diodes and solder on switches, but I tried to take a few shots mid-build.
The MXALPS-30XX PCB designed by Leeku. Meant to fit in Cherry G80/G81-3XXX cases.
NCR Logo
NCR branded G81-3077SAU case
Label
Nixdorf black
Sprits gold plated 65g spring
Throughhole diodes from G80 switches
Old Cherry PCB-mount stabilisers that use screws to mount
Lightly used ANSI doubleshots from a G81-3000HAU variant
Coiled PS2 cable from Cherry G81-3011HBG
Soldering a diode to the SMD pads. I did this incase I ever need to desolder all the switches. Saves me from desoldering 4 pins per switch.
Switches soldered on. Stabilisers installed. Stabilisers lubed with GPL205/103 mix. Springs seated.

Switches closed up.
