2 Days later, it's done (my first DIY)

[derzemel]

Yes, it took me 2 days in total to get this done (half of the time was swapping the springs and adding sip sockets in the switches):



But for my fist time seriously soldering stuff.. I am extremely happy

Testing the fit:



Here is the mess (after the picture I cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol to get rid of all the flux):



Also added foam rubber sheets in the case for a bit of noise dampening:



In case you are curious this is the part list: Leeku 1800 pcb, Alu Plate, Vintage MX Blacks with 55g springs (except the space which has the normal mx black spring)

I await you judgement now!

P.S.: sorry for the crappy images

Wow looks real good! Liking the case ofc

But why do you need 6 escapes??

Because I am mad (also colored ESC keys are my "artisans")

Hey, this looks really cool! The leeku PCB landed in good hands
And Purple GMK mods .... damn I must get my hands on some of those

Very nice! I'm having an 1800-itch that I may or may not have to scratch. Your pics just made the case stronger for the former.

Thank you very much for passing me the Leeku . It was an awesome build (and a very tiring one too )

Yes, the 1800 has become my favorite layout (of the common ones). It's an itch you can happily scratch

Fantastic Unicorn Puke!

It's not a joke, I actually like this board a lot
This is not quite my favorite layout but I admire you for the small right shift, I'd like to have that one on my HHKB style Poker
