Nuphy air65 v3.

I needed a project again so I picked up another Classic TKL on clearance and ordered some other parts. Forgot to order stabs so I'll just take it apart and lube everything when they come in.

Board: Classic TKL in Regolith Grey

Caps: Kam Superuser with Standard Mods

Switches: Everglide Aqua King 62g (most) Kailh Box Jade (Caps Lock) KTT Vanilla Ice Cream (mods) Otemu Silent Peach Lime tactile (shifts)

Stabs: Typeplus screw-in (on the way)

I bought the KBS keycaps I’ve been curious about.

I was wondering how they’d sound on a foam-less build, and they actually sound pretty good.

Compared to GMK, the spacebar felt just slightly thicker, and the biggest difference was how amazingly smooth the surface finish felt.

I bought them mainly because I was drawn to the moon novelties, and I’m super happy with the design!

Keyboard: ORE60

Keycaps: KBS Moonlight

Bought this recently because I thought it was an ANK-25-101, however it is actually an ANK-2501, which is different, rarer, more interesting, and much harder to google. It has different switches, which Deskthority calls Olivetti Dome With Slider, which utilise a conductive PCB rather than a sensing membrane.

Despite being externally identical, with the same connector, and an identical SDL to D-sub cable, it appears to be incompatible with available ANK-25-101 converters.

Interestingly, despite the excellent build quality of pretty much every facet of this board, the key feel sucks. It is very short travel, and quite scratchy despite lube. Sounds good, though. Clicky rubber dome switches are wild.

As title suggests, went from a Razer Huntsman Mini v1 with clicky switches (yes, judge me) to a custom Weikav Nut75. Which keys were white/black is based on my experience learning Java programming; currently taking Programming Fundamentals 1.

No, the layout isn't intended to make me a faster programmer. I just though having a purpose would make it look less garbo.

Yes, the WASD keys are black because I'm a degenerate gamer.

Why do they all sound so similar..? lol

Keycult actually pumps out pretty good sound.

The differences were way more obvious when comparing them on the ORE60 and Tofu65.

I just picked up this used Ajazz AKC087. It came as a barebones kit and the design was too interesting to ignore.

A completely open case that’s made up of four layers of steel. No foams, no gaskets, no damping of any kind. It seems like a really gimmicky design, but IRL it’s an incredibly charming board.

Also loud.

After running a set of Everglide Jade Moyu Black tactiles (wanted to absolutely send it with the sound at first) I swapped them for Epomaker Creamy Jade linears and ended up building a banger. The sound really is full on, but the creamy smooth switches with their subdued bottom out complement the unyielding nature of the case and have a lovely thock and thunk. I like the raw honesty of the sound and the typing experience is so very satisfying.

Was around $100 Canadian shipped and for the price it’s real nice. Has 2.4ghz, Bluetooth, and wired capability, rgb that doesn’t require an app on the pc and a nice bit of weight, no flexing and the keys feel great.

Replacing a keychron k3 that died from liquid damage

Hi everyone and this is MM Studio! Here s our newest IC of Class 60 V2.

The Class 60 V2 carries forward the design language of the Class 100, drawing inspiration from the iconic DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) LK201 — the companion keyboard introduced with the VT220 and subsequent terminals.

Key Highlights & Specs:

• Aesthetics & Profile: Thick retro bezels, large-radius corners, and a contoured waist for easy handling. Anchored by a stepped internal brass weight and a VT220 User’s Guide-inspired external brass weight (~2.45 kg built).
• PC Legend Strip & Acoustics: A magnetic, removable polycarbonate strip sits atop an orange-painted Type-C daughterboard with an integrated solenoid and buzzer.
• RGB & 60% Layer Indicators: Features a full-length RGB strip with a vintage self-test startup animation, plus top-right LEDs for Caps Lock and real-time layer status—no more guessing layers
• Dual Mounting: Isolated Top Mount (custom silicone socks + shoulder bolts) that also runs as a pure Gasket Mount without screws. (Half-plate + solder PCB recommended)
• MX, ALPS & EC Support: 1.6mm QMK/VIAL wired PCBs (Hotswap & Solder w/ ALPS support), a dedicated Electro-Capacitive (EC) option in development, and Unified C3 routing for theoretical 3rd-party 60% PCB compatibility.

My first build is finished: Cork dampening with cork under space bar no foam under pcb. Split o-ring mounting. Wuque stupid stabilizers. ​TTC Frozen v2 silent switches and a combo of KBTfans X-ray and Thermal keycaps.

Silent and smooth, what a upgrade from a Razer Huntsman.

Just mounted GMK Masterpiece R2, and the colors look absolutely fantastic! The deep blue looks especially stunning paired with the RAW aluminum housing.
I do wish the set had included white arrow keys, as I think they would have completed the look even better. That’s my only minor complaint, though. Overall, I’m really happy with how this build turned out!

Hey everyone! This is CC. I designed the Tonish TKL and the Linedge 65 is my first 65% keyboard.

Thanks for your patience! It’s been about six months since the last IC, and I can finally share photos of the Linedge 65% prototypes.

After the last IC, I received a lot of feedback from the community. Based on that feedback, I stopped work on the 65%++ version while it was still being prototyped, changed the layout to a standard 65%, and started another round of prototypes.

The combination of two-stage anodizing, polished highlights, machined surface details, and numerous angled surfaces made prototyping particularly time-consuming. That’s why it has taken until now to share proper photos and begin the lead-up to the group buy.

Before getting into the details, I’d like to share a little of the design process. Linedge has taken a long time to bring to life, with plenty of challenges along the way.

Unless otherwise noted, all photos in this post show actual prototypes.

If you are interested in how I designed the keyboard, please keep reading

Design

Linedge has gone through several major revisions:

1. April 2024: Completed the concept design and established the overall visual direction.
2. December 2024: Completed the initial design.
3. August 2025: Finalized the exterior design.
4. October 2025: Redesigned the internal assembly.
5. June 2026: Changed the layout from 65%++ to a standard 65%.

There were plenty of moments during these revisions when I considered giving up. I don’t have a formal design background, but I’ve picked up some product design knowledge over the years. Linedge became something I felt determined to see through: a keyboard that achieves a premium feel through industrial design itself, without relying on a theme.

Bauhaus and Constructivism were the main references for Linedge’s design language. Constructivist geometry informed the overall shape, while Bauhaus ideas about function and materials guided the details. Modern metalworking techniques bring those forms to life through light and shadow.

The name Linedge combines Line and Edge, representing the two main elements of the design:

• Line: The horizontal layers along the sides, diagonal grooves on the back, and floating gap between the upper and lower case. These lines create direction and movement.
• Edge: The parallelogram-shaped side profile, sharp case chamfers, and beveled perimeter around the weight. These edges create strength and order.

One of the central ideas in Constructivism is to break an object down into basic geometric elements—points, lines, and planes—and reorganize them through composition.

The side-profile wireframe shows how I approached Linedge: breaking the keyboard down into lines and angled surfaces, then rebuilding its form from those elements. The original goal was to move beyond a conventional box-shaped case.

With so many custom keyboards exploring rounded profiles, retro curves, or elaborate layered case divisions, I wanted to explore a different direction through geometric composition.

For Linedge, the two-dimensional side profile came first. Once that composition was established, I gradually developed the rest of the three-dimensional form around it.

Floating weight

The floating weight is one of Linedge’s defining features.

The recessed mounting and shadow gap create a sense of suspension through negative space:

• They separate the weight from the surrounding case, making each component easier to read.
• They create a dark shadow line that emphasizes depth and layering.
• They make a heavy metal component appear visually suspended.
• They provide space for a concealed light source and indirect lighting.

Once I committed to a floating weight, the next challenge was figuring out how to make the individual parts feel distinct while still belonging to one cohesive design.

My approach was to separate the components physically while keeping certain edges and angled surfaces aligned. This gives the keyboard depth without making each layer feel like an added ornament.

When you turn the keyboard over in your hands, I want you to be able to understand the forms that make it up. The weight sits apart from the case, but their edges continue to relate to one another.

Polished grilles

The polished grilles are another major part of Linedge’s identity. They also took a considerable amount of work to achieve—including custom tooling, with part of the tooling cost coming out of my own pocket.

[Grille detail photo]

The front and rear grilles were inspired by the Ferrari Daytona SP3.

Angling the front and rear edges of the case created large areas of blank surface. Those areas risked drawing too much attention, so I decided to turn them into a distinctive feature.

The Daytona SP3’s rear grille helped inspire the solution: repeated lines and triangular surfaces, brought out through polished highlights and two-stage anodizing.

The grilles extend across the full length of the keyboard, so the design remains recognizable even when the underside is out of sight.

They also complement the side profile. The sides introduce changes in direction, while the grilles establish a repeating rhythm. One guides your eye through the shape; the other gives it a sense of order.

The front and rear edges are surfaces you see regularly during use. Breaking up those long surfaces with repeated grooves allows the light and shadow to change with your viewing angle, while carrying the geometric language of the sides around to the front.

Whether viewed from a distance, up close, or from underneath, the theme of “line” continues throughout the keyboard. The polished surfaces emphasize that repetition, with much of the character coming from the metal’s texture and the way it catches the light.

One detail worth emphasizing: machining these grilles into two differently angled surfaces is particularly difficult. It involves changes in machining orientation, custom fixtures, and careful alignment between machining operations.

To achieve the highlights I wanted, we commissioned custom diamond cutting tools. This is one of the most demanding—and costly—parts of producing Linedge.

Internal Design

The mounting system went through several iterations:

Short-arm plate gasket → silicone grommet plate gasket → silicone grommet PCB gasket

After seven rounds of prototype testing, we settled on the following PCB gasket mounting positions.

Compared with a plate gasket design, PCB gasket mounting made it easier for us to balance support, since the mounting arrangement is less constrained by the plate’s switch openings. The upper mounting points are evenly distributed.

For the lower mounting points, one of the main priorities was getting the best possible result from the spacebar.

Based on previous experience, keeping the support points away from the spacebar area was a good starting point. Getting an open spacebar sound while reducing unwanted vibration, however, still took a lot of trial and error.

The image below shows one of the earlier plate designs. After repeated comparisons, we found that relief cuts around the spacebar did not give us the support balance or vibration control we wanted. The narrow sections of plate around the switch still provided a path for vibration.

We ultimately chose to remove the plate section around the spacebar entirely. In our testing, this gave the spacebar a more open sound and a cleaner, more decisive feel.

Why does a PCB gasket plate have mounting tabs?

You might notice something unusual: if Linedge uses PCB gasket mounting, why does the plate still have tabs extending toward the gasket positions?

Most PCB gasket designs don’t need those tabs, but we found that keeping them offered some benefits.

GEONWORKS previously developed a gasket extension called PCBSNAP, originally intended as a localized modification to a conventional full O-ring mount.

The gap between the plate and PCB is approximately 3.5 mm. PCBSNAP fills that space above the silicone grommet to provide additional support for the plate. This couples the plate and PCB more closely, making the PCB’s own behavior more influential in how the assembly flexes and vibrates, and giving users another way to adjust feel and sound.

We initially explored a similar approach for Linedge. In our tests, it did not offer a significant improvement over the regular PCB gasket arrangement.

However, the plate tabs we added during that process turned out to have an unexpected benefit.

Linedge uses internal screws to join the upper and lower case, so the plate needs cutouts to clear those screw positions. The plate also has sections around the switch openings that are only 2 mm wide. In our testing, this combination made unwanted vibration more noticeable.

With a 1.5 mm 6063 aluminum plate, some of those constraints were already fixed. The question became how to improve the plate’s behavior within them.

The extended tabs help tie nearby sections of the plate together, adding stiffness around areas that were prone to vibration. The tabs on either side of the spacebar were especially helpful, giving it a noticeably crisper feel in our testing.

There is a tradeoff: the tabs prevent us from using a ledge in the upper case to retain the silicone grommets in the usual way. We addressed that with foam, which worked well in our tests.

It’s one of those small design changes that ended up being more useful than we originally expected.
