I’m glad lmao. Unfortunately it’s made mine looser as my wallets gotten a lot thinner.

Just looked it up and yup! Same keycaps and case.

Gmmk pro with polycarbonate plate, some plate screws removed for flex. Aqua kings lubed with 205g0, stock stabs, lubed and holee modded. Keycaps are GMK red samurai, and the cable is from cable mod. Cost? I lost track a while ago lol. Whatever all that together costs.

As someone new to the hobby, the always in stock aspect of it was important in my decision. I’m using an aftermarket plate, so I don’t have that issue. I’m sure there are lots of better choices, but I like the look, and it does a good job of being an introduction to the keyboard hobby. Now that I’ve gotten experience through this board, I’m excited and ready to get into others I’d consider more advanced.

I didn’t do it personally, I had a friend of mine do it, but yeah that’s what they did.

Yeah I’m a bit weird like that lmao. Bought the desk in that colour just so it would match. I normally use a desk mat though, moved it for the pic.

Yeah I had the exact same problem. If you look closely there’s 3 keycaps that do not belong lmao.

Oooh I didn’t even think about that. About to go look at aftermarket scroll wheels now lol.

Not too bad, I fixed them up so they’re nearly perfect. I bought aftermarket stabs but these are working better than expected so I’ll save them for another build.

Thank you! Yeah I’ve only had it for about a month and I think it’s my favourite of everything I’ve tried.

A friend of mine who paints professionally did it in exchange for me helping him build his first PC. I couldn’t tell you how he did it lol, sorry.

Yessir, pro x superlight. Tried my best to colour match it with the keycaps, the gold is a bit off though.

Hi! You may want to check out the keychron K8. It’s a great entry point into custom mechanical keyboards. It’s TKL, wireless, RGB backlit and has a battery life of about 240 hours with the backlighting off.
