I would prefer original keycap set, and something else for GUI key legend than Win logo, but nonetheless that is one mean board.

Unfortunately not mine but I'll post it anyway:

After searching for one for almost 2 years finally it's mine :

Spoiler:

This is a PlanarT/PLA/플라포커 of God knows the correct name 60% case, the design is by LZ and the GB was run in 2012. The case I have is a one off, test run for pink hard anodization, not very keen on the color but I will change it in the future.
The case is really heavy, 1.3Kg and the angle at first look might seem steep but it's just awesome. The typing feel on this case is amazing. For the moment I have the GH60 inside but it will get a better PCB soon.
For me this was the ultimate quest when it comes to 60% cases, and it was sheer luck that I managed to get this one, I have tried even on Korean forums without any luck.

Finally! I got the chance to take some pictures of an Omnikey 101 I bought from alh84001

I've been waiting since christmas eve for snow to come. Unfortunately this year it was a black christmas in southern Finland Today was the only day I was able to take it outside as it is "only" -15 today. Yesterday it snowed all day and today should be -25 and that even exceeds most recommended storage temperetures

So here is the two pics from my backyard I liked the most:

It looks like some kind of an offering to the White Walkers

That case is really very pretty! I can fully understand why you searched for it for so long and with such determination.

In my opinion, you shouldn't reanodize though, it's pretty in pink

Yeah DanielT ... get some GMK Valentine caps

[DanielT]

@Khers: Thanks My wife thinks the same, also I have started to grow fond of this pink and it's also a one-off. For the moment it will stay this way.
@wodan: If Valentine were Pink on Black I would have done that, but white caps on my boards... NEVER I had HyperFuse for a while and my eyes were hurting I can't stand white/cream caps, this is why I don't like the classic beige and the praised OG Cherry dyesubs.

[Yuubin]

I've been lurking for a while but now and I am impressed with all the cool stuff and useful information you guys are coming up with!

I have only basic technical skills and so far have been limited to swapping keycaps and minor modifications. Nevertheless, I wanted to show of my first two mecha keyboards that I am pretty happy with so far.

A Ducky One with MX browns and Cherry double shots.



The space bar is from a G81 and not in working condition. I tried adding a center stem with epoxy glue but it didn't work. So, I'm still looking for a matching/compatible 6.25u space bar.



Adding a center stem to the windowed caps lock key was easier although it is not perfectly level with the surrounding keys.


I got a used Novatouch from ebay classifieds after reading the thread about the board being discontinued. The only thing I did so far is swapping the original ABS keycaps for black on black PBT double shots. I like the feel and sound of the keyboard but I'm still typing faster and more accurately on the Ducky. I guess, I just need a little more time to get used to the Topre switches.




To add a little more switch variety I will probably try to get my hands on an Apple Extended Keyboard II next. I still remember those fondly from the nineties.

Nice!
How did you make the cable?

Zenith G80-1192HAG with Original ANSI Cherry Dyesubs and Doubleshot ISO kit.

[seebart]

Wow gogusrl, I'm not a Cherry fan but that's very nice. I don't think I've ever seen a Zenith branded G80 before, impressive!

This is the only keycap set I own that has allowed me to put an "FN" legended keycap in both locations.

[alh84001]

Mhm, that is a tasty set.

[atrere]

It's not a keyboard yet, but it will be in a few weeks.

Love the combination of video and music. Are you dissecting its plate? Frankenboard in the works.

Zenith G80-1192HAG with Original ANSI Cherry Dyesubs and Doubleshot ISO kit.

The beige tone of the Enter key looks a bit off the base set's.

[gogusrl]

Yes, I know and it's been bugging me to no end.

The enter key is brand new GMK doubleshot. I have a dyesubbed ISO enter but it's icon only and super shiny. Gonna try with some original Cherry doubleshot Enter but again, I have icon only.

@seebart, it's not the only Zenith branded Cherry G80 because I also have a G80-1192HAX

I was considering to mix and match Cherry double-shot key caps with dye sub ones, as you did, but I wondered if they may match, considering your sample I think I did well not getting that dye sub set to match with my double-shots. You may want to use all the modifiers of the same type, the alphas appear to match almost perfectly.

[Nuum]

My Phantom with new keycaps, they are a mix of WOB keycaps from a newer G81 with bottom row from a winkeyless G81 (A-profile!) which I got proxied from Poland from ettasian (Thanks again!). The red WASD caps are from EliteKeyboards, the red Esc is from a fellow forum member, the black Spacebar is from Originative, the original one was shiny as a mirror. The Enter key unfortunately has a big ugly mark.

The pictures are not as good as I would like them but the lighting is rather gloomy right now, but meh.
I still need some better WKL blockers, the ones from Signature Plastics would be nice, but shipping is prohibitive. Small GB anyone? Or is anyone in Europe ordering from them soon?

[scottc]

Oh wow, you actually got the board I linked in the end? Looks fantastic!

[Nuum]

Yup, but just the keycaps and innards, the case went to ba7777. Thanks for pointing us both to that board!

[scottc]

No problem at all, I'm really glad you guys both got what you wanted out of it. I assumed neither of you had gotten it!

[Nuum]

Yeah, I'm really glad that ettasian was willing to split the board so both of us were able to get what we wanted.

[Menuhin]

It's a nice, clean looking TKL with a simple and elegant black/red/white theme.
The 75% that I want to build will have a similar color theme.

At the bottom row for the Winkeyless setting, did you desoldered the two switches before installing those switch blockers? Or you just left the switches there and installed switch blockers on top of it?

FYI, SP's switch blocker is designed to fit onto a Cherry switch, but will keep the switch in a depressed state when installed.

[Nuum]

Switches are still there, if you look closely I drilled a hole into the right one so I can still press it with something thin like a pen. It serves as FN button, e.g. for programming mode.
Being depressed by SP's blockers is no problem, I can just blank them out in firmware. I actually have some off-white ones from a Tipro around, they are similar to the SP ones and they work fine.

[scottc]

I remember andrewjoy got a Tipro board with a load of blockers quite a while ago, and I believe I asked/he offered to send me some but I don't believe I ever got a response to my PM. You might try asking him.
