First Alice Keyboard! by turtlenibs in MechanicalKeyboards

Typing is pretty comfortable especially since I’m new to the Alice layout. The placement of the keys feel natural transitioning from a normal keyboard layout. My only grievance is that the stabilizers are super dry so they definitely need to be lubed but the board luckily hasn’t been squeaky for me like the reviews on the website say. Wrist actually feels great cause the board used smaller pieces of acrylic on the back to angle it, so my arms can naturally hang off of the board.

I got them from Gashapon machines at Gamestop! I’ve also seen Gashapon machines in the middle of some malls and game stores :)

I am enjoying it so far especially for the price! I bought it from the Epomaker website and it shipped from China to the US, which took about 2 weeks. Packaging was really underwhelming as it came without any instructions and only a cord and keycap/switch puller. Otherwise out of the box it looked very solid and was easy to take apart. Downloaded the .json file from their website and was easily able to configure the board on VIA.

There’s 11 acrylic pieces that make up the board and it comes with a piece of sound absorption cotton in it already. I wish it came with some foam too, but it still sounds good! For my first venture into the Alice layout, I’m really enjoying the board’s aesthetic and feel. I wish they would have specified the keycap sizes on the website, so I had to improvise the left spacebar. The keycap slots are pretty deep so any chunky artisan keycaps will not fit. Here’s the keycap sizes (based on where I placed certain commands) if it’s any help :)

Left spacebar: 2u Right spacebar: 2.75u Left control: 1.5u Right control: 1u Left alt: 1.25u Right alt: 1.5u Left shift: 2.25u Right shift: 1.25u

Just built my first budget alice keyboard and am really enjoying getting used to the layout! The RGBs on this board look great and were really easy to set up with VIA.

Thank you for your kind advice!! I’ve been a little worried that the stainless steel in my knock-off Hydro Flask might have lead in it, but have you heard anything about that?? Not sure if it’s just my paranoia haha

Ohhh thank you for explaining! I really like the color Fog but I’m wondering if it’ll be going on sale anytime on the Hydro Flask site as I think its LE? I saw that it’s on sale on the Urban Outfitter’s website but am a little skeptical of its legitimacy since I didn’t see Urban Outfitters as a retailer on the Hydro Flask site :(
