Together with Technofrikus and ScatteredDrifter, I started this journey. Technofrikus worked on the case. Therefore he reworked the […]
Coming from the initial Polaris built with tactile switches on a Fr4 half-plate, I decided to rebuilt the keyboard with linear switches based on a POM full-plate. The full-plate was necessary, as I mill-maxed the PCB and the switches needed some more stabilisation therefore. After the first try with the custom POM full-plate from 42keebs, […]

I built two custom mechanical keyboards for a friend of mine. The fun part: only the keycaps are in a different color but everything else is exactly the same. Specs: HS60 from mechboards Hot Swap, RGB backlight, south sided PCB (only ESC+1 is north sided), ANSI Gateron Black Inks V2 – lubed and filmed with […]
