What's on your workbench today?

Re-built the Ikki68 Aurora for a good friend of mine who recently got his first law-firm job - he wanted something nice for the office.

I decided to try the “bar-wrap” method, which turned out pretty good. The OA stab clips don’t have the tightest grip on the wire, so even with foam supporting them they move enough to tick slightly on the spacebar. It’s minor but I’ll probably revisit that tomorrow before shipping this off - worst case I’ll find a fatter wire that’s a different color.

The specs:

  • Boba U4 silent tactile switches
  • OA stabs
  • Aluminum plate
  • Poron gaskets, center chips removed
  • Silicone under plate and PCB
  • Tromso hot-swap PCB (no battery)
  • MT3 Susuwatari

As-is, it sounds like this:

Probably gonna replace that stab wire - but not tonight. :stuck_out_tongue:
