What is on your desk today?

(Literally) dusting-off my trusty workhorse and daily driver, a KBD67L R2 with bluetooth. I have more miles on this keyboard than any other, and in a very dusty environment.

Embrace the shine

  • YD67BLE PCB w/ battery
  • Stock PC plate & silicone

Yeah same thing for me, HF is one of those weird sets. I was meh on Hyperfuse for years (which worked out in my favor considering how messy Oco’s GBs were for it, I think there is still people who either never got their set from the first GMK HF GB, or was never able to get the missing F8 key if they actually got their set :face_with_spiral_eyes:). Then I won a free set DCX set from Drop & decided to grab DCX Hyperfuse. Which I found much more attractive in person than I ever did looking at renders & pics of it or any of the GMK runs.

Prepress does pop nicely on the smokey/clear case bud!

This inspired me to create a new thread: Doubts of the Undecided

I hope it becomes a long-lasting thread hit… :dart:

I did something similar with HSA Hyperfuse when Vala Supply had their anniversary sale a few weeks ago and snagged it for 40% off. I’m not generally a fan of a purple and teal palette, but the colors work really well together.

hah not at all! Like you, I generally go for PBT specifically because I prefer the texture and lack of shine, but the consistent shine across all these caps certainly has appealed to me this time. :slight_smile:

Swapped cases on my GH80 build. Gonna have to change the caps next. Thinking Hineybeige or OGs for this one.

Another rescued NightFox - I picked up a handful of these with the intention of customizing them for the myriad of printing equipment I operate, each piece of which has at least one computer tied to it.

This one’s actually more of a mockup, a mixture of the parts that will end up in this role and a PCB-sandwich that was ready to use. There are TTC Ace switches installed, but the final will have something inexpensive with a black housing - ideally something with an above average dust resistance, even for MX switches.

This is a “nothing fancy” build to be sure, primarily wearing an Artifact Shield keyset from Drop - but it still has a fun detail or two.

  • Riser feet removed and replaced with rubber ones for a nearly flat angle; this board is used on an already angled surface

  • CMY accent caps from GMK Prepress

  • Plate modded for “Aria” layout and PCB-mount stabilizers

  • Stock case screws replaced with torx ones from my pool of spare KBD67 Lite parts

  • “Burger” o-rings on the case screws, above and below the plate; not a ton of compression but does wonders for harshness, ping, hotspots

  • Good ol’ PE foam on either side of the PCB

No tape mod?

Not at the moment - though I might give it a try when I put in the other switches if I remember. I actually like the sound as-is; this case isn’t too bad for clacky switches with either force-break or burger modding, and maybe a little foam. I’m interested to see how that might change the already poppy / clacky sound.

Spooky digital zoom… I’ll pull out my real camera again one of these days

The alpha legends almost match the case color, very awesome combo!
