Let’s go! How many different profiles are we looking at?

Meanwhile, I’m shocked at the stock rotary knob… :D

SA, DSA, and 2 heights of Cherry. I cobbled this together with what I had to hand, and I don't have many extra knobs, and I don't want to pay Aliexpress tariff prices for these and stuff like springs, which I also need.

Fair enough! Do the switches below the caps follow the same “cobbled together” scheme? :)

The switches are an unholy hodgepodge of various springs, lube, foams, and frankensteined parts. Except for the Alphas. Those are all Gateron Quinns, and I hate them, and I am hoping someone wants to trade because I have like 100 of them, and nothing I do makes any part of them sound good to me.

Love the look and the layout, though non-ortholinear custom keyboards always make me raise an eyebrow

@Reverendender
I've tried for few months.
Very nice and comfortable.
Too difficult to get used to it.

I’m kinda feeling this, ngl.
