hahahahaha, what’s actually hard to see is that after four years of almost daily use at work it is starting to get kinda gross and discolored. I’ve been debating what to do, I have 2 of the very nice marble keebs wrist wrests i use at home, but on the other hand I’m so used to the baguette and it looks so nice in pics i might just have to get another one.

Dream (top) and reality (bottom) side by side. I’ve just finished requirement specification for my own design called Forever Ambre.
Maximal screw and spacer size: M3.
Number and position of mounting points (for screws and spacers): as shown by pictures.
Dimensions: approximately 4" × 7.5" × 1".
Weight: approximately 3/4 lb.
The bottom and middle (keyswitch) plates remain 1.5mm thick aluminum. The top (keycap) plate is now made of 1mm thin stainless steel. This construction, not including a PCB, weights 280g.
There is another, same-weighted, version made of titanium the thickness 1, 1.5, 1 mm respectively. However, as the aluminum - aluninum - steel construction is already quite sturdy, and there should be no significant difference in the feel and sound between aluminum and titanium, I wonder if anyone really needs titanium.
Bottom line. A little secret: 1mm steel in place of 1.5mm aluminum does not improve mechanical strength, but allows me making high-quality top plate (w.r.t. sound, feel and look) with simple tools such as sandpaper.

Got my Prime_E built! Coming from my Realforce I’m surprised at how quickly i’ve gotten used to using layers. Switches are U4 Bobas, using Worldspawn’s acrylic case.

I finally made a wrist rest I’m happy to have on my desk. Still some quality issues to work out, but it gives everyone an idea of what I’m trying to accomplish in my experiments thread. Full write up soon.

Pros and cons of having the rotary encoder in the bottom left VS top left?

I guess I’ve always had it at the bottom left, except when I picked up a second hand Preonic, which already had it soldered in the top left. I use it enough that I find it easier to access on the bottom row.
