What's on your workbench today?

Time for a themed build!

I’ve been meaning to assemble a keyboard to use with the consoles in the living room for a while now, and today’s the day.

Build specs:

  • CIY GAS67 wired kit
  • Included screw-in stabs w/ balancing washers
  • Gateron Baby Kangaroo switches
  • PolyCaps Code doubleshot PBT keycaps
  • MMi artisan “The Original Gaming Console” (OG Xbox)

For a couch keeb, I think the GAS67 is a great option: it’s light and far from precious while still being a pleasure to use.

I’d been using OEM profile pudding caps with this board since it’s got the North-facing RGB, but these long-pole Baby Kangaroo switches bypass any potential interference with shorter profiles - so these PolyCaps fit and perform just fine. My only minor gripe is with the space bar, which for some reason, wants to stick when mounted ʎlʇɔǝɹɹoɔ, but works perfectly as-pictured. :man_shrugging:

Yes, it glows green as soon as you plug it in.
