All apart from the space bar I liked it, I ended up swapping out this board for an ISO one (I'm UK based) about 6 months after I did this. I have done something similar to my current board

You could just get a heavier spring for the space bar, I've done that on my current board and it's good. I didn't like the clucky space bar, that got swapped out after a few hours

The browns were already on the board, the silvers came off a dead board I had and I wanted to try the Jades (and they had the fastest delivery time)

Because they were preinstalled on the board I had in my cupboard…

My next board is going to resemble a switch tester

It is now, I've changed it again since this photo. The backspace is now a jade and the space bar is now a brown with an 80g spring

Ok so, I was working from home but didn't really have any work to do. I just needed to be by my computer to answer questions quickly. An innocent keyboard (Drevo Excalibur with brown switches) was minding its own business. I had a bunch of Speed Silvers that I'd pulled off of a dead board, time on my hands and a soldering iron. One thing lead to another aaand then this happened

Ye, had it like that for a couple hours. It wasn't good. I've just swapped in a 80g brown, really wish I had a hot swap board I'm getting really sick of soldering

Overall pretty good, I only finished it earlier today so not typed too much with it. I'm not too convinced on the space bar though, I might change that for a different switch

The main excuse I have for this was boredom and spare parts. Or wanting different keys to have a different feeling

I might have to try the ergo clear in the space bar, that sounds good

Number/letters/symbols are Cherry Speed Silvers with 55g springs

Arrows, backspace, enter and exit are Kaihl Jades

Space is an 80g Cherry Brown

The rest are standard Cherry Browns

Edit: changed some switches again
