fancy-mech - custom mechanical keyboards & extras
The idea was born to create a very special tofu without the characteristics of a regular tray mount. The first step was to think about a setup and PCB which could deliver that. I had the luck to get a contact in the MKD community to get a Plain60 Flex PCB and a half plate […]
EDIT: now be able to order your Stucco keyboard https://fancy-mech.eu/2022/06/09/stucco-order-now/ Coming from my Polaris and searching for another PCB, I found the compatible waffling PCB from 4pplet#4574. I ordered a 1,2mm replacement PCB but received a 1,5mm one. 4pplet informed me proactively about the mistake and sent a free replacement. So then I millmaxed the […]
Another project which made me a lot of fun: Modding a stock keyboard until it is just amazing! Therefore I bought a Ducky one 2 mini model version 1861ST and started some modding. What I did: cleaned the keyboard unsoldered the switches spring swapped the springs of the switches lubed the switches with Krytox GPL205g0 […]
General The kbd67 lite R2 in black I bought at candykeys was advertised as “the beginner board” across all keynerd influencers. I really jumped on the hype train and ordered the board during the GB phase. As you might have seen the tiffany version of the board, I really enjoy the black version much more […]
Just received a kbd67 lite R2 from candykeys in the colour tiffany. I just made some pictures during unboxing and of the final build. I built the keyboard with some Gateron KS-3 yellows, lubed and filmed, TX 75g springs. The stabs were lubed with Krytox 205g0. Some stabs need some further tuning. In general I […]
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, […]
the second iteration of my custom cables. Now I added a light MDPC sleeve, a magnetic adapter and a YC-8 aviator. Very happy with the result!
first custom cable made out of MDPC sleeve and a regular USB-A/USB-C adapter. Nothing fancy but I am happy with it.
