Picked up some pretty sweet keycaps recently! Stuck them on my first mech board... the MF68. Can't wait for my MF82 to land from Massdrop. Been waiting far too long for that to arrive!

Almost a week customizing the layout of my first programmable mechanical keyboard, an Atreus62, and this is what I've got. There's an Atreus original (42) in the mail so I'm trying to make the most of the keys I'll have on both. It sure is nice to have arrows under my fingers! I like the ideas in the Arensito symbol layer but I'm not sure how I'll fit all the numbers and punctuation into so few layers of a 42%.

Got a Gherkin recently. I was suppose to review this before a group buy on Massdrop, but it looks like there won't be a GB on there for now. Keycaps are from a Vortex Core, they'll be replaced by a different DSA keyset soon. I receive the PCB sandwich case in green. I didn't like the green color, so I covered it in Carbon Fiber. Overall the keyboard looks very clean.
First impression, damn this is hard to type on. I have never typed on an otholinear keyboard let alone a 30% keyboard. The biggest problem I have is that by default, 'B' and the letters to the right of it are shifted over to make room for a backspace and space key. Problem with this is that it forces my right hand to press 'B', which I usually use my left hand for. I already tweaked the layout so that only a single space key resides between the letters.

Some thoughts on the Plum 87 with Topre clones. https://mansfield-devine.com/speculatrix/2017/04/mechanical-keyboards-plum-87-rgb/

I've posted my 50-key and 62-key Atreus keyboards, but I figured I'd post the second keyboard I'd ever built here today. I've been using this quite a bit lately, having just revamped the keymap for it. Like my other keyboards, I've got Dvorak as the main layout, but QWERTY and Colemak are both available with a few keypresses. The layout chosen stays persistent thorough power loss, too. I'll post an image of the layout here in a comment below.

My Atreus62 has finally achieved "endgame" status.

I finally got my chocolatier SA-profile keycaps, and added them to my 60% build.
I've moved the Carbon Cherry-profile keycaps to my old DAS.
