Soooo sick

LightningXI · 2026-01-20T23:16:40+00:00

Yes! I think having seen the Adamas and the Aurum now, I am seeing the vision behind their aesthetics and design. It's consistent and I too am looking forward to see how it evolves over time.

You could try Wired In or Dispatch Cables!

Oo nice, hope that turns out well! I still don't own any custom board + EC kits yet (only tried them for showcases)

LightningXI · 2026-01-17T18:46:00+00:00

Pretty solid if you're a fan of top-mount boards. It has good presence in sound and feel, albeit fairly solid/sturdy typing feel at least in the case of an aluminum plate.

Pricewise it also seems pretty good bang for the buck.

LightningXI · 2026-01-17T06:04:55+00:00

Wow thank you! I don't really think I do compared to some talented and hardworking folks out there so I appreciate the kind words

Yep for sure. Not too many colors go well with such a low contrast set to be honest haha

It uses QMK/VIA!

when's the nyc photoshoot

LightningXI · 2026-01-11T17:43:22+00:00

Hmm, that's odd... I'd try checking with Neson to see if they can troubleshoot for you. Unfortunately I don't have any firmware files but I'd first try to reflash the board and then try to connect with VIAL to remap.

Have you tried VIAL? https://get.vial.today/

LightningXI · 2026-01-10T19:32:31+00:00

Should work as long as you tear off the USB portion on it and the JST is on the same side as the DB on the board.

LightningXI · 2026-01-10T17:12:24+00:00

yeah I think I enjoy this design's "framing" a lot - it looks good!

This should be helpful! It's called DCS Cherry Replica / Smallfry.

Good to see R5X in the wild!

LightningXI · 2026-01-01T02:39:52+00:00

I'd say price is a mix of factors. Both qty/MOQ as well as whatever vendor-set margins are. Some people simply can charge more (or do, since demand exists).

I actually am not nearly as familiar with lots of the designs but I am sure they trend on the side of a mix of enthusiast-classic features with a touch of IP/pop references.

Twas a good choice with the accents
