I’ve been a long time lurker of this community making small comment here and there. I never felt like I should be post my scuffed keyboard built when I first started out. But after a couple of purchases, DYI built, and modding under my belt I feel like an introduction was in order.
My favorite layout is currently and still remains 1800. It’s a solid blend between form and function given my day job. However, I’ve recently dabble in Alice/arisu layout and that has been an experience.
I started this journey probs back in 2018 with my first mechanical keyboard – Fnatic Streak Mini. I quickly out grew that and settled into a Melody96 since I didn’t want the trouble of soldering/desoldering. Long and short I started acquiring more boards and gotten more comfortable with soldering SMD, mill-max sockets, and microcontrollers. You can always find me in the PDXKBC (PNW keyboard community) discord server…likely enabling people to lighten their wallets.
My daily driver currently is a Rekt1800 with MT3 3277. My most recent purchases includes a yellow leopold FC980M (3rd one) and Av3.
@Dave and I’ve been tracking these yellow LeoGold for a while now. They got restocked on MK and sold out same day. I just really like how vibrant of a yellow look in person. Also, Leopold is no slouch with their in house keycaps – 1.6mm double shot PBT (in safe storage).
I had this pre-ordered back in April and MK just restocked silent cherry. I think Dave had it on pre-ordered for longer. If you really want one you’ll just need to check back like once every couple of week…it’s rough.

it came out great with the blue plate!
