Keybaytech Blue Cheese Switches

PC Plate

Keycaps: Drop Gmk WOB, DMK WOB (Hiragana), KBDiy WOB SA (I love WOB, if you couldn't tell)

No sound test as my lubes arrive later so no lubed stabs for now :)

Forgive me, I am not good at subject photography

EDIT: I DIDNT PUT THE KITS NAME, IT IS A QK80 MK2

Which board is that? This is definitely a clean, sophisticated build! Hope it keeps you happy for a long time and would be cool to hear a sound test once you lube those stabs! No pressure though lol

That's a QK80 MK2.

It is, IMO, a special board due to the very tasteful implementation of the screen. I agree with you... what a beautiful build OP has right there.

Thanks, glad you guys liked how it looks. I had a hard time selecting keycaps and realized regular wob looks sexy

u/stillthatguy_jake 1d ago

WOB is great and that profile is perfect for that board!

u/NightcoreSpectrum 1d ago

True, I prefer this cheap SA profile keycap (sound and feel) more than the GMK one (more pop). My previous prebuilt came with ASA Keycaps from akko so I got really used to the feels of that profile.

I hear ya! Depends on the board for me... but I'm a huge fan SA and similar profiles. They ALWAYS look good regardless

I literally put my phone down and thought "Watch, it's probably a Qwerty Keys board!" Thank you for the info. And yes... Definitely one of the most tasteful screens I've seen... the little strip under the screen made me think QK
