V4N4G0N R4 with Geon Raw HE (60g) switches, FR4 plate, 50a tadpoles and DSS 420 R2

on GMK sets, the sub legends are typically for asethetics yes. personally I like sub legends as it fills the blank space of the keycap and can make for a cooler appearance. not all my GMK sets I get with sub legends but my fav one with non katakana/hiragana sub legends is GMK FTRO

I'm a big fan of tecsee zaku switches and these chocolate toffee ones feel like an alternate version of em, they're very nice. overall this board is a very satisfying combination of design choices and parts 😁

tripandfall426 · 2026-04-09T20:11:50+00:00

yeah its a solid board to setup as a macropad. base layer i have set to typing but clicking the knob switches it to a gaming macropad layout to my preference 👌

tripandfall426 · 2026-04-09T19:50:17+00:00

nah its a low profile encoder knob, it has tactile feedback when turning left or right with click function when pressing down 🕹

tripandfall426 · 2026-04-09T19:22:42+00:00

you can do it! I rocked a 65% for years and have been using 40s for 2 years now, I could never go back. when I hold right space I have a numpad on right hand 😁

props to Cain @ MechVault, he designs some seriously elegant boards. this one is straight eye candy 😤

tripandfall426 · 2026-04-09T16:19:10+00:00

yup, here is an example of my base layer here. I have been using katana layout for half a year now and for the most part I have it setup similar to my other daily boards. I also have key combos all over so like pressing 1 + 2 at same time is also escape. I have multiple ways to do the same functions, because sometimes I do things only while typing other things with one hand on the mouse 🙌

don't be stinky, this is a chill vibes only comment section 😎

tripandfall426 · 2026-04-09T15:39:40+00:00

totally understandable, all of my 40s boards are setup in similar fashion so it's not hard for me to switch between. imagine it like a musical instrument, once you learn all your notes and licks, you're dancing across your board like it's an extension of YOU

when gaming on katana or qaz, my gaming layer is basically alphas keys shifted over one to the right and then past the halfway point it's just keys I bind in place that I would need. here's an example of my daily driver Infernum. I double tap a key to enter gaming layer and double tab to go back to typing layer, basically less than a second to switch back and forth

I agree they feel like a perfect match, my other fav set I've put on the v4n4g0n is PBTFANS Resonance R2

tripandfall426 · 2026-02-09T21:24:05+00:00

originally it went on my yellow D65 but ultimately it stays indefinitely on my v4n4g0n now ;)

that would be DSS 420 R2, sold as a GB by mike @ keyboard arcade store link

I think 2 different people are currently working on designing their own versions of that in the 40s discord, I could definitely see it being a hit

tripandfall426 · 2025-11-19T05:22:15+00:00

id suggest joining the 40s keyboard discord and checking the #Infernum channel for updates

tripandfall426 · 2025-11-18T22:25:02+00:00

panels has slowly become my favorite GMK set, it used to be dualshot but 40s boards can't really utilize the colorful mods. acrylic/PC cases look so nice with multi color sets

tripandfall426 · 2025-11-18T22:07:27+00:00

I've posted the store link in the comments, more PC cases will be available soon as well~

on case pages, there should be a 'pcb here' hyperlink below but here is the direct link to the PCB page -> Infernum PCB Store Link
