@Mondobizarrro Yea I picked the keycaps myself. I really liked the retro look.

I also picked navy box kahle switches (it along with the jade are the loudest switches on the market, the navy being significantly heavier.)

@freemo i use a model m from 1987, but i also have a corsair k68 rgb as a backup. Ive had no problems using it for gaming but i mainly got it cause i like how it feels to type on it. You cant beat the classics. If i were to get a new keyboard id probably get a full size gmmk with linear switches

@Mondobizarrro Yes I have a model T as well and used it for quite a while. One of the keys however has gotten a little funky and I havent had a chance to fix it.

I do love the buckling spring old stuff.

@freemo i wanna get "the new model m" by unicomp if mine ever fails since it seems to eliminate a lot of problems the old mold had after 40 years of wear and tear

@Mondobizarrro I just wish they made hot swappable modern switches that were buckling spring types with the nice loud click of a model m... oh well the switches I have are still pretty nice with a fairly unique and distinctive sound and feel.

@freemo yeah they feel nice but if i had proper mechanical switches i think i want something fast and on the quieter side since i live in an apartment

@Mondobizarrro you always have tactiles for that,all the feel none of the sound.

I myself love the sound, the louder the better. In fact I added a speaker built into this keyboard and controlled from the firmware directly. I intend to use it to make additional clicky sounds when I type.

@creamqueen awesome, triggering you just makes this all the more awesome... thanks for that!

@freemo nigga shut the fuck up you rape kids

@creamqueen LOL is making up random shit with no connection to reality supposed to upset me? Cause all it does is show your a nut job.

@wholemilk If you are comfortable soldering its worth it... Each of the three components took me about half a day, and thats with hot swap. Would have taken less time with direct solder.
