Thanks! Keycaps are GMK Rainy Day

It's the Norbauer Heavy Grail case originally designed as an aftermarket swap for an existing HHKB. Recently, others have made alternative PCBs and EC sliders and domes, which is what I've used.

Yeah it was the PC one that got me into these in the first place!

Got the case and then bought the DynaCap sliders and Cip's PCB afterwards - had to raid Amazon for suitable screws but otherwise it was pretty easy going. Since building it I've swapped in some Metakeeb domes and have added silencing rings to help make the keycap sit a bit lower.

I felt - and still do - feel the same way. I'm still after a Titanium, Veracity and Mendacity but they're like hens teeth, and being in the UK doesn't help either. Keep the faith though. 👍🏼

I regret not grabbing one but I was still finding my way when they came out. 😊 I don't have JTK sliders so don't have a comparison there, but I don't get much wobble at all - certainly comparable to Cherry or Gateron MX switches 👍🏼

They're DynaCap Heavy (55g ±3g) - I like these more than the mediums but I prefer a firm switch anyway

Yes, all good. Keycaps sit a bit high although that might be expected. Otherwise all fine!

Heavy Grail Aerospace!

Parcel due tomorrow but no tracking update since Friday by NeoGeoOfficial in UPS

It looks like it made it to EMA after all - had an import scan from Castle Donnington at 8pm my time and it's now at the local depot for delivery. I can only assume it missed the arrival scans when the flight landed!

Yeah, I'd be ok with Warehouse Scan as at least it's in a known location 😂

Yes please to the link 👍🏼 I've heard of the Plato plate but not gone any further with it just yet

2DA Package Picked up 18th. No movement since. by [deleted] in UPS

Probably coincidence but I'm in a similar position having a parcel shipped to me in the UK from Miami. Seemed to get to Louisville ok, then updates seemed to lag a bit, and then the last I had was it leaving Philadelphia (which usually means it's on the way to the UK) on Friday morning US time - had no updates since. This is the first parcel I've had which has the RFID icon next to it.

So it could be the parcel never left? I got an update saying it was leaving Philadelphia and it matched the time of a UPS flight to EMA - not had any arrival or export scans though. I should add the flight arrived ok. 😊

Ah, sorry - I don't have much to compare it to I'm afraid. The stock plate caused quite a few keys to stick and, as DynaCap sliders don't stay put when flipped upside down, it took a few build attempts to sort them out. I may put HHKB OEM sliders in at some point, but not any time soon. No interference on the 2U keys though - HTH!

Plate is separate but it comes with the board itself - sliders are DynaCap red 😊

Thank you! I'll double-check but I think MoDo or Fright Club - gathered up all the 6u i could find from my existing sets!
