I think they’re the KBDFans EC 9009 Topre keycaps. Given that it’s on loan, I’m not keen even removing the keycaps to confirm (or doing anything that may affect the structural integrity of the board haha)

oooh thanks mate! This one is good, let me get some for my HHKB too 
UTD 360c - Have been using this big boi for the past few days. It’s gummy o-ring mounted with red alu full plate with retooled blacks.
Really like this board! The typing feel is really good (cushiony & bouncy), and with RT blacks, it’s really poppy sounding! The price is really good for this! But next up - I will try to get the Frog TKL Wanna add a green tkl to my collection

3rd and final Kara build until R2 comes. 
This is the strangest one so far.
- Clear Everglide stabs
- Box Jade switches (I have a ton of them from my early clicky days
) - Tokyo60 R1 keycaps (I’m all out of fresh caps at the moment, and I like the color)
Overall, it’s a very palatable clicky keyboard due to the mute mount, and PC plate.

That’s a wooden rail, not a desk. 
I love the keycaps you selected! Looks like a close match to the standard HHKB offering.

There you go, it’s on my desk!
The keycaps worked out nicely, even if they are exclusively for another keyboard (that I don’t even own )

When it became apparent that Rukia wasnt going to ship anytime soon (if ever), I went out and bought an AV3. Details:
- Layout: Arisu (Alice w/arrows)
- Case Material: Acrylic
- Plate: POM
- Switches: H1 (filmed, lubed with 205g0)
- Stabs: Zeal (lubed with 205g0)
- Keycaps: GMK WoB
- Cable: Pexon double-sleeve
Board is basically done, other than I will be looking for blank spacebars to replace the OG fix. Feel and sound are excellent, IV Works has an active community with an engaged creator. Very happy with it.

The build looks great. Unfortunately, I’m in the same boat with the Rukia – I bought a MGA Standard while I wait. From the last update that Hiney gave, the OG Spacekeys R2 GB should be shipping in August/September, and they have a CP & CR kit. There were a few proxies internationally, so I bet you will be able to find a local vendor with extras very soon.

I like heavier linears and I like lighter linears. It’s nice to switch from one to another occasionally.

My Frankenstein PC Maja that I keep switching between GMK Laser and ePBT Black Japanese on.
I think normal frosted PC just doesn’t look good with GMK Laser. At least not with the brass plate.

I’ve been looking for a nice metal tray, sort of similar to the Rama trays, and these are rectangular so not very close and the quality of course is not even close to a Rama tray, but these have a nice heft to them and are a good size for a lot of things like keyboard tools, screws, etc.
Thought I’d share in case others wanted something like a Rama try but can’t afford or get in on a pre-order, etc.
