So, this thread is kinda a combination of the "It's in the mail" and "What did you add to your keyboard today" threads whom usually are located in the picture sub-forums.

So, i'll start off with this picture;

The circumference of LED is like WANG.
Cherry MX Black?

Nope, rafi hall effect sitches.
Thanks to sixty.

And to those that misunderstood this post: You're supposed to take pictures of things you buy/add to your keyboard(s) (or elsewere). AKA a circlejerk.

I'll contribute to the thread then. Got everything working a few days ago.

Phantom with clears/whites, ANSI with the extra ISO button at the left CTRL button.
Caps are a mix of SP DS mods with freshly retr0brighted Cherry black on white DS caps.

Damn, huttala. that's very sexy!

Actually I might do that so I don't have to put on the ugly top case (it's from a PLU board).
Good idea, thanks man!

Is that E/€ key a Cherry DS? I haven't seen that from Cherry before. Very nice.

Yea, those do exist in DS, i got one from a G80-1501.

Those 5 extra keys are what i find most intriguing about the phantom. Being a lefty (mouse), my right hand likes to be around the nav-cluster in "internet mode". I image i'd put shortcuts like copy/paste, ctrl+k and similar there. Also you could do a full Numpad on a fn layer.

Yes E/€ exists as DS from Cherry

Nice! I need one of those for the Skidata keycaps...

Very nice board! Wish I could find one in ISO.

The fruits of basically just one week:

-The ErgoDox kit arrived
-The Matias switches from 7bit got here
-Finally, an IBM SSK in my house
-I picked up a Kinesis Classic QD for a very friendly price
-Paranoid made me a beautiful Filco cable
-I finally found the time to solder together another HID Liberation Device
-IMSTO's dye subs (Dvorak) got dyed (this actually didn't work out that well)
-On top of that, my GF turned up with a model M she got in a thrift shop for free.

Well, the dye didn't catch evenly on the keys: the color is significantly lighter in the legend's area. I guess it has something to do with the dye subbing process. You can spot it especially on the keys that are much larger than their legends, e.g. on the enter and the shift keys.

Maybe a pass through the dishwasher would remove residue from the previous dyesubbing.
Could you post a closeup of the blue caps (if it doesn't tick you off too much)?
