Build Log of a WhiteFox

Thumper · 20 Jun 2016, 09:45

I received my WhiteFox on Saturday and couldn't be happier.
It's build with Linear Zealious R1 which are stickered and lubed.

A big shoutout to Matt3o for this project. You raised the bar on a height which is really hard to top.

Spoiler:

This is a damn fine keyboard, I've expected nothing else from matt3o.
It seems that you haven't read the manual properly, you have put the space bar the wrong way (it's supposed to be the other way around)

Ohhh that was intentional?

Very nice build log. And a great combination of modifiers!

The upside-down spacebar matches the angle of a thumb better if one rests one's hand on the desk surface, rather than several inches above.

A wooden wristrest is what you need my friend! [WINKING FACE]

Nice build Thumper! I'm not really a fan of how Cherry beige looks with bluegaloo, but the CMYW makes it really pretty. I do have one question for you though; why did you get Zealios when you were going to spring swap and lube them anyway? And your spacebar looks like an uncomfortable eyesore...

Nice keyboard

But the spacebar is wrong

I know there is a thing called "flipped spacebar master race" but it is wrong

Well, i just swapped it for ligher springs and lubed the spring. Not the switch itself

Other than that, if i would have lubed a linaer switch i would have still gone with zealios as they are white as costar stabilizers .. and those are used in the WhiteFox

Any recommendations?

Sure, but if you're going to lube and spring swap, why not get Gateron clears instead? Wouldn't that be exactly the same thing? Significantly cheaper.

@OP could you warp the images inside a spoiler tag please?
The thread is continuously scrolling down, it's hard to read the answers that way.

Thanks!
