#customkeycaps

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

My 13-year-old #WASDKeyboard v1 is starting to show signs of wear and tear. The 8 in the numpad doesn't fire anymore, and some other keys have become less responsive – including one for my OS password.

The logical step is, of course, to go to WASD Keyboard's website… Except it looks like the company is no more. :NeofoxSad:

Now on a hunt for a #MechanicalKeyboard company that preferably also does #CustomKeycaps.

Is there any way to get a single replacement keycap for a Corsair K70 RGB Strafe with MX keys? I need a right ctrl, I've ordered one on eBay at the absurd price of £8.99 (plus speediest delivery (1st May) at £3.99) because that's the only place I could find in a few days that seemed legit enough to spend with lol.

On a side note, how can I get custom "Windows" keys to replace the Windows logo with a Tux or something Linux-y?

Almost 2 years of waiting for the wilba.tech Salvation, but it's finally home.
I've been preparing for this board for a year, and now that it's finally here, I get to build this beautiful board.

RAED linears, and some red hangul sublegends top of this clean af board. I had to put some plate foam to kill off some resonance with the fr4 plate, but overall it sounds clacky and crisp.

I'd say the highlight of the board is really the red shade. It's not as bright as I originally thought it'd be, but it actually turned out way better in person. It's such a nice deep red that really works well with the simpler keycaps.

The true leaf-spring mounting has just the right amount of bounce to make it comfy to type on, without getting overly soft or flexy.

The Wind X R2 is a 65% with a numpad that I decided to get because I thought it would be a good daily driver for work.

The layout's a nice compromise for those times when a numpad would have come in handy, but you don't really need the function row.

I lucked out with the recent in-stock sale that happened a few weeks ago. I was able to get a Bluetooth version in a color that matched the Osume tsukimi R1 means it was a match made in heaven. (Heck even the absence of a stepped caps lock worked out. Lmao)

I had to tape up the flex cuts that were on the PCB to get a more well-rounded and full sound, but I have to say— I'm pretty happy that I did that.

Got my hands on a 1-of-1 polycarbonate "Tofukorn" with a cerakoted brass weight. I got it for a pretty good price considering it was a fully built kit with broken in gateron KS3's.

It's a great low-front height board that I find really comfortable with. Copium-unikorn, maybe. But I'm pretty happy with it.

I just need to get my hands on a PCB with underglow to really take advantage of the polycarbonate case. 😎

The Nayeon TKL was a small GB designed and organized by abats.kb and troyr0x.kb

It's such a beautiful board that sounds very crisp with pewters and an alu plate.

I chose GMK Hallyu to match with it to really lean into the kpop theme.

I think this really works well together.
