Handwired Adalyn with Miao MCU and FAK firmware. At least it should be, firmware is still a big work in progress for me.

i love it！ 
Beautiful board. Love the QAZ in Alice style. How do you like FAK, and how many I/O pins does the Miao make available for your key matrix?
FAK is currently quite the hassle for me tbh, I’m not really a code guy and I don’t think I get everything working as I want without some help. Would I go that way again? Currently probably not. The board is wired with 5 Columns and 8 rows, so 13 pins used for GPIO

Finished the latest handwire junkboard. This one is a no-stabs southpaw 1800 variant, with certain choices dictated by the specific set of $11 keycaps I had lying around (note that the first amazon photo is a slightly different set altogether). The white balance is all messed up, but they are Cherry profile and appear to be clones of GMK Striker if the entire set were the muted blue of the Escape and Enter keys. I don’t know why they are so washed out in my photos. The blown-out white balance also really emphasizes the seams in a way that is not quite true to life, where the matte black of one part tends to blend into the next. Oh well, no one will accuse me of trying to make these things look better than they are. Upside down “spacebars” taken from the 40%/ergo folks, and it’s surprisingly nice. RP2040, KMK, Outemu dustproof green. I’m more pleased than a grown man should be to have got the LED indicators working with little trouble, LOL.

The only way 
Fuzzy skin on the outside of the case?

Yup. Until everybody starts using it, it doesn’t scream “3d printed” quite so loudly. Although, that’s barely a case at all. More like spacers with a sidewall.
My kitchen had slightly better lighting than the office, too.

Finally built my 8XV3.0 last night. Went with Gateron Deeppings (hand lubed), TX AP screw ins, on PP plate. Turned out super nice! I really like the sound the PP plate produces, gonna have to get some more of them for my other boards!
Edit: Swapped out JTK Griseann for DCS Dark Sky & oh my god does this board sing with DCS! I have to get more PP plates like immediately, it really elevated this board into something special IMHO!

Does PP plate mean polypropylene? If so, how does the plate compare with other plastics like POM or PC? I have tried a POM plate and case and really liked the sound and you have me wondering if I should try polypropylene.

Yep polypropylene plate. It’s a good bit softer than POM & even softer than PC. It also gives a nice deep sound signature, deeper than both POM & PC. At least those the first two things to jump out at me when using it.

How do you like those keycaps? The generous kitting suits my needs pretty well, but I haven’t ever used MDA.

I like them quite a lot, and recommend giving them a shot. The level of quality has been quite impressive and high despite the budget price tag.
Personally, I quite like trying things other than Cherry and similar cylindrical profiles, and I also like centered legends. I also have a set of XVX profile keycaps, which seem incredibly similar the MDA profile, maybe even the same?? I can’t seem to tell a difference…
A couple of potential downsides to note:
- The top surface area of these keycaps are significantly larger than the typical Cherry profile. Hence, there are smaller gaps between these top surfaces. This might require a bit of adjustment to get used to typing on.
- The spacebar was a little bit warped (higher in the center), but I was able to fix that with warm water and manual bending it back.
- After doing that, I realized that one of the extra spacebars was another 6.25u and was already quite straight, so I could have just used that instead. Hence, the kit interestingly came with two 6.25u spacebars, one 7u, several assorted smaller spacebars, but no 6.5u or 6u spacebars. Looking again at the kit diagram on the website, it appears that even there two 6.25u spacebars are shown.
