Gotta love it when the displays make full-sized keyboards look small XD

Update; I just swapped the Keycaps to Royal Alpha (epbt), and really like the look of it quite a lot (alsow they work surprisingly well with my v2 c3 stabs, even though they are warped quite a bit)

I think the Royal Alpha works well on a gray board, as will the ePBT TA set in the works.

My daily driver, with new alpha keycaps – doubleshot PBT pseudo-Cherry profile.

ddrfraser1 · August 8, 2020, 3:56pm

Unique. Cool.

What is it? Shinobi?

It is Active Key (www.activekey.de) 112-key programmable POS keyboard. I got it for $130 shipped + tax.

Broke out the ol’ 4x4 macropad and popped on some Serika caps to match the Brutal60.

First time desoldering. Was not THAT tedious but it took an hour at least.

Rico · August 10, 2020, 9:36am

Good job!
Next time you’ll do it in half an hour
Is that a Das keyboard ?

skepp · August 10, 2020, 9:42am

Ty.
It’s a SteelSeries G6V2. I have one more but first after the desoldering I noticed that it’s 3pin so I don’t know if it’s worth the harvest.

5thoughts · August 10, 2020, 2:52pm

That’s intense! I don’t know if I could deal with the back space, insert and shift in that layout

dusan · August 10, 2020, 3:12pm

Shift is the easiest key. Because you can hit it two ways: thumb or index finger.

dwarflemur · August 11, 2020, 8:14pm

MX:SS built with creams with PEEPEE stems. The sound is v nice

Manofinterests · August 11, 2020, 8:23pm

Can we get a side profile shot? The board looks thick!

dwarflemur · August 11, 2020, 8:32pm

Of course, it’s a chonker, but the typing angle is pretty lax, which I appreciate. I’ve been using my modern m0110 at work for several weeks and that board has asuper aggressive angle, this is a nice change. The bottom has a giant brass plate, so it’s very heavy too.

that nines green looks slick with sandstorm.

best wrist rest ever
