Thanks Ellipse! It's a tank!

Since you wanted pics I got one with all of the "lights" on. This thing don't need no RGB!

That's a thing of beauty. I can't wait for mine to come in

I think the B122 is in the same sized case, right? Height wise, I mean, obviously it's wider.

[Ellipse]

Yes, I noted on the product pages:

Dimensions (all are approximate):
B62: 341 x 210mm (13.4 x 8.3in)
BSSK: 406 x 248mm (16 x 9.8in)
B104: 491 x 248mm (19.3 x 9.8in)
B122: 535 x 248mm (21 x 9.8 in)
All beam spring case heights are 39mm (1.5in) in the front to 49mm (1.9in) in the back

BEAUTY! I can't wait for the B122s to start going out (!!!)

Looking good! I love how the divot looks on Ellipse's keys--I only hope the MTNU Susus I have waiting for their new home will measure up.

Speaking of the keycaps, are these the same profile as OG beamspring keyboards? Or are they a custom profile similar to SA/MT3?

[Ellipse]

The keys are custom and are not made in line with any standard MX profile. As you can see in the various photos all of the keys do not vary much in height. These keys were the closest production keys I could find with characteristics similar to the IBM beam spring keycaps (color scheme, font, PBT double shot, each key about the same height).
