Cool. I got mine from a trade a long time ago. The PCB's are extremely fragile btw.

Just out of curiosity: Is your SKCM White the Pine or Bamboo version?

Thanks

It doesn't actually, just looks like it. It's sitting on top rather than actually seated in the plate.

The Mitsumi Blue Bar? I got that from Chryos. The world's shortest travel switch

Idk what it would even be used for, no keyboard that's for sure.
