Great job and welcome to the rabbit hole!

At first glance your spacebar and Esc looked like they didn't have keycaps on due to the way their prints kind of meld into the deskmat.

Reply to Keep a look out for wild Oni on Halloween ;) by a_saker

Oni has a really nice set of blues. Normally I don't like light blue color schemes but this one just works so nicely together with the deeper blues and the high contasting white legends.

Nice to see someone using Holy Pandas for a change!

Would probably look right at home inside a landspeeder or inside the Mos Eisley Cantina even!

I love the novelties but personally not a fan of the color scheme.

This is awesome to see in an office instead of someone's desk.

Does your country drive on the left side of the road by any chance?

Reply to 3d printed as much of my first keyboard as I could. Even tried sequential prints for caps with a 9/16 success rate! Grey is pla, orange is pla+. Cherry MX Reds, Knockoff pro micro w/ qmk, 128x64 oled, XDA keycaps with a single G20 for fun. Design by Joe Scotto, ScottoGame on github by CodeMonkeyZero

Keycaps look like they belong in Factorio lol. Some of the keycaps look mighty wobbly though... is that due to the material used or is it the switches?

It probably doesn't cost much to make a smoke or dark colored acrylic insert there...

Reply to When keyboard becomes more than just a keyboard by orangeosh

Never thought I'd be saying this but vomit caps look real good on this! Probably due to the retro look though.

How many bags did you need to buy to get enough to fill this out?

Interesting mod to make to a CTRL. Did they not ever offer a non-diffused version of the case?

Reply to Got that translucent look! by eliminatedalljuice

How do the caps feel in actual use? I'm not sure I could get used to the smoothness of the tops as I prefer textured tops.

That's awesome! I look forward to seeing more on this thing.

Do you have a site that you're updating or are you planning on doing some sort of Interest Check soon?

Yeah I think you're right it's probably structural. And I agree the side bezels being smaller is much more critical though it would probably look nicer to me if the sides were bigger than the top...

Ooh you sir have caught my attention!

It looks like a metal case? Is it going to be plastic since wireless signals and metal don't mix too good...

I'd be interested in a wireless Preonic myself as I need the extra row above.

Move them elsewhere. I have my Home/End on CAPSLOCK+Q/E, PgUp/PgDn on CAPSLOCK+R/F for example. Ins/Del is CAPSLOCK+P/BACKSPACE.

Now your right hand can stay on your pointing device and you can move around freely. Helps to be using CAPSLOCK+WASD as your arrow keys as well.

I need to see some legs! Or at least the option to add some.

And of course QMK compatbility otherwise this is going to be a no-go because a 40% needs to be fully programmable to be a viable daily driver for anyone who wants to properly use one.

Also wish the top and bottom bezels weren't so big. No need for them to be...
