Well I fell down the custom keyboard world.

Yeah I had a feeling it would be gone in a matter of seconds. Just like cloudline around this time last year (I think Jae @ PT said that sold out in 12 seconds)

Honestly I am just waiting for my next boards to arrive and now that the zoom65's are just waiting to be QC'd, sorted and packed that will be the next board for me to build.

If you want the best then GMK is the only real way to go i think. Prepare to pay big money though and GB waiting times are going into 1 year+

I mean there are more GMK sets being released by the month now and they are starting to work through their backlog. I mean it is still over 12 months for most sets still but they have shipped a lot of sets in the last quarter and now they have the second plant up and running it should help a lot.

I guess it just depends on what colour schemes you are looking for @Raymond Lin when it comes to the keycaps you want.

I have a mixture of keysets now and honestly I think the quality on all of them have been outstanding. I think my GMK set feels the nicest to the touch but the ePBT and nicePBT sets equally feel good a different sound profile and not as much warping as I have seen with other dye-sub based sets. I think the only issue I have had is with the first round of nicePBT Noel and the pink spacebar looking a bit more peach in places due to the fade of the dye. So I do hope in the future that it is run again as a GMK set.

I looked at them, most of the colours are not to my liking unfortunately, plus they are all sold out.

I think my taste lean more towards what Novelkeys’ offering. More white key caps with simple muted, pastel colours.

GMK Minimal + Colour kit. I's sure i saw a set come up on Ebay and discord, it's a nice set. PBFTfans do a set too i think.

Wow, £109 for the base set, £50 for the ISO Enter key expansion, another £30 for the colour accent.

With shipping that is going to be over £200. If I put some NK Creams, and perhaps a £200 board we are at £500!

Things can quickly escalate!

I have already spent way too much already, like double of what I thought I would this time last week.

I just ordered a coiled cable Tom from KBDfans…and a case from ocuk that fits the keychron. I guess these are 1 time purchase and I’m not going to have a collection of them

Check out PEXON for Custom Coiled cables. I got a custom Patina cable from here to match my Mode65 colourway. Super nice and super soft/flexi without being too rigid.

I said 1 time purchase! I don’t need a second coiled cable lol.

I’ll show pics when they all arrived. The key caps and gateron oil kings should be here tomorrow. The Gateron yellow and keychron Q1 later in the week. Oh…also ordered 2 artisans too lol (it’ll make sense when they arrive!). The coil cable probably next week.

Reminds me of Delight, nonsense lol.

The keycap set is IFK Delight. One of my favourite sets and the novelties for it are just a joy to look at.

Oh I see you have been hit by the minimal bug as well, super surprised how fast that has sold out even after another restock. I probably should get myself a WOB or BOW set at some point but I just have so many sets on order I am trying to wait until I really need a set like that because all the other sets I have won't fit a themed board.

But good news hopefully if PT can get the zoom65 EE's out this week and then I will be rebuilding/building both of mine (my existing Olivia Light edition & Blurple EE) time to get lubing up some switches now.

Isn't Delight a collab with Hipyo Tech? Or am i thinking of another colourway.

Yeah i mean its literally just BoW with a colour accent but its one you would probably inevitably needs to use and just works with everything. Hopefully getting mine within this week at some point.

The only board im looking forward to now is the XOX70, there's nothing else thats really interesting me right now.. well unless they release the Werk-One but i got a feeling that will be a unicorn like the Keycult. Super expensive but super premium meaning super hard to get.
