First "expensive" keyboard. Prior boards: Filco MJ1 TKL Browns, Poker II Clears.
Got this from a user in the classifieds and ended up not being what I thought it was. I ended up burning off some diode pads on that pcb so I got in touch with the guys over at kbd4u and they shipped me a v2 pcb and a couple blockers I didn't end up using.
Sorry in advance for the potatoes.
Mx Tactile Greys with Spirit 85g springs, some were squeaky so I lightly lubed the springs which seemed to work.

Since I had a v1 plate and pcb originally, I couldn't do the layout I wanted with the plate. So instead of going plateless I took a dremel and just took out the slots preventing me from putting switches/spacebar stabilizer in the location I wanted them to be.

So now everything was ready to be soldered and put together

thanks for taking the time to get to the bottom.
