First ever build. More or less a success with a few hiccups on the way.
Dropped case with plate while fiddling: scratched case, bent plate at the sensitive enter\iso location.
Soldered \| switch not lined up, so keycap was crooked and interfered with enter keycap.
Clipped the stabilizers like a good boy, but some how backspace is still very mushy and sticky. Tried to lube the wire through the plate holes.... Should have checked\lubed them before soldering everything...
But anyway, it's done ant it works
Cheap clear case, gateron browns + whites for modifiers (courtesy for pinkies).
I don't think i would ever go back to full size or tkl board, even after so little time with this one. Fears about not having arrows and stuff were proved false. Though i can clearly see now, that i would prefer a layout that uses thumbs more and pinkies less, but that's for another day.
About leds. Never cared much for them, but now i am thinking since the pcb supports them, why not. I want leds to ligtup on layers. Problem is side leds are single color, so how to show two layers? Crazy idea about using switch leds for that. If i would solder them on the bottom. Effectively having two color underlight. Ideally i would want to use only some of them (for example only on the sides). Is this possible or leds wont work if i don't solder all of them?
P.S. Again, thanks LeandreN for this group buy.
