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.

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

The reason why I bought this set 
Also have the 10u spacebar for maximum meme in the future:p

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?
Switch: The Roselle switches are a truly innovative switch manufactured by BSUN.
Keycaps: MXRSKEY RETRO GREEK KEYCAP (Thick PBT \ Cherry profile \ Dye sublimation)

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.
looks great! What switches are you using?

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

Thanks! TTC Aces in this on alu plate. It’s pretty high-pitched with GMK, despite the Aces often sounding rather deep, more than it was with DCX Hyperfuse. I think the latter is still my fav on this board, but this is still good! When I try the FR4 plate, it should bring the sound back down a bit.
@Rob27shred Yah, thanks! The legends are virtually the same shade as the minty mods and mod legends on DCX Hyperfuse, but the Esc and Enter stand out more.

Nice. Aces can certainly be high pitched. I have them in my HMKB 75 with a steel plate and GMK caps. Very clacky and high-pitched, but fun. I would call them “bright, sparkling, or lively” if I was a wine maker.

I guess previously I’ve used them mostly with GMK on a FR4 plate in my Malicious, which is a massive aluminum hunk. They are always clacky and a wonderful switch. @pixelpusher
