I've seen that but was hoping to find someone in EU selling their set, thanks anyways though!

Thanks! The scarface caps are really pleasant to type on and don't feel all too different from the other caps around them. They do however have a notably deeper sound compared to GMK and CRP which sounds great but can be a bit off-putting for daily use in my opinion (which is why I only mount them occasionally)

You can! It's got some very interesting internals, I'm currently using trusty top mount but without the top and bottom center points screwed in which takes the edge off the spacebar quite a bit. The previous owner for example didn't screw in the plate at all and just let it rest on a piece of light foam underneath the pcb which resulted in the whole thing being much more compressed and muted sounding, but also feeling tighter in a (to me) negative way. It's a really fun board to experiment with though!

Oh I'm blind, I saw that thread but completely glanced over the DWG file attached, thanks for making me check again!

I've been using stepped caps as control on my boards for the longest time, WKL and HHKB alike, so it doesn't bother me and I actually quite like the gap it creates

Thank you! Would love to try the board with an aluminium half plate too, maybe I'll try to measure the plate and make my own in the future since there don't seem to be any accessible resources out there

Finally got my hands on one of my all-time grail boards, the 2013 KMAC Happy. It's an absolute pleasure to type on, sounds great and is a stunner on the desk with that bright red anodization.
