Solenoid spotted, LETS GO!

After the DR-70f issue, I needed a win. So I worked on M0lly last night.
The keys are knock-off GMK Evil Dolch and I wanted these specifically for the dual-legend numpad. I have pre-ordered the real GMK set, mostly to make myself feel better about paying for fakes but also because I love the colorway and I want some shine through indicators. 3mm red LEDs used in the indicator ports. Also wired LEDs in at Caplock and Numlock in hopes of getting those programmed as indicators in the future.
Summary
All the hardware has been swapped out with red anodized aluminum versions.
Silly things that can’t be seen but I know are there, like the red hardware inside the case and the dyed PCB “cotton” (which I can tell you for sure IS NOT cotton because it would not hold dye)
Silly because it does not matter to anyone except me.
Switches are Akko Dracula, spring swapped to 65g.
Typing feels great, the switches have a good solid sound somewhere between clack and thunk. No echo or ping in the case so far. Overall, I’m liking it but we’ll see if it stands up to daily driving.

I just held it in place against an aluminum bottom plate, and even though this is a little baby solenoid that runs fine off the 3.3v rail on the Pi Pico… oh yeah. 
I made three hand-wire TKL-likes with aluminum plates, two of them with tactiles. The first tactile build is fine, just not different enough or fun enough to use much, but a proper case with room for a solenoid sounds like just what it needs. It might also be a nice excuse to finally put my SA Mitospeed on something.

Mill-maxing my Pneuma. Companion by my side as always.
And ready to take my seat at any moment, of course.

Looks great bud! Awesome to see it all built up! Also just so you know for future reference. The PCB works fine with the square unified USB-C daughter boards.

Sorry man, that is horrifying. Have you used the set before? If not, did you buy it recently?
First time mounting. Got them just a week ago so I’ve reached out to Omnitype. Hopefully they can supply an extra Y
I guess I can always use them with weird key there. Or use the modifiers as a mix set. The purple is quite nice

Fingers crossed they can. It is a really nice shade of purple.
