Fuji (Wisteria) colourway of the Cherry Blossomx deskmat collection which is currently available for Groupbuy pre-orders until the end of December. See link in bio for vendor stores (also tagged). Who else is fond of the gentle pastel purple of lavender? I find it very calming to look at this shade.

Graydient - embracing grayscale. Here's what it looks like with the Shibuya Scramble Crossing novelties [Japanese text modifier keys are optional too]. The world's busiest pedestrian crossing where thousands of people cross every few minutes (millions in a week). For an activity so mundane and 'pedestrian', it was fun to people watch and also participate in. I would love to visit Tokyo again. Photograph/deskmat in background by co-designer Dylan Chung.

Foamless Neo75 just hits different. 🎧⌨️ This build has that clean aluminum resonance with a crisp but satisfying low-end thanks to the Keygeek Explosion switches. The alu plate gives every keystroke a sharper definition, while the Neo75’s internal design keeps the sound full without feeling overly muted. And paired with Keykobo Nichirin? Yeah… this setup looks and sounds straight fire. ⚔️🔥 Volume Up for the pure raw acoustics. 🐉 Keebs : Neo75 @ne0_kb @keebsmark.id Swtich : Keygeek Explosion @keygeekofficial @keebsmark.id Keycaps : Keykobo Nichirin @keykobo @moriimx @boba.types @keebsmark.id #cinematic #content #keyboard #asmr #video

NEO75 might be one of the cleanest sounding foamless boards right now. Built this one with an alu plate + Keygeek Explosion switches, and the result is that perfect balance of crisp top-end with a deep, controlled bottom-out. The chambered Neo75 design really lets the natural acoustics breathe. Paired it with Keykobo Nichirin and the whole build just feels straight out of an anime frame — bold accents, clean contrast, and way too photogenic on desk. ⚔️✨ This Board sounds as good as it looks. 🔥 Keebs : Neo75 @ne0_kb @qwertykeys_australia @qwertykeys_international @keebsmark.id Switch : Keygeek Explosion @keygeekofficial Keycaps : Keykobo Nichirin @keykobo @moriimx @boba.types #cinematic #content #keyboard #setup #asmr

The ND104 by @chil.key with prototype PBT Rex keycaps. Full size keyboards are uncommon in this hobby, but they're perfect for those new to mechanical keyboards or need the numpad for work. This comes pre-built with doubleshot keycaps, smooth switches, and a satisfying volume dial. It is an easy recommendation for those who want a mechanical keyboard which can be used for both officework or play, and aren't sure if they yet want to dive into more custom and expensive designs. 100% layout is "normie" but ultimately the most versatile, and the worldwide standard for a reason. Not everyone has the budget or wish to flex a $500 limited groupbuy/raffle keyboard. Although one can admire a Lamborghini, a Toyota RAV4 will fit most people's needs. This keyboard I would posit is like the new wave of feature packed affordable EV SUVs with luxury features that was previously the domain of more expensive brands. It'll do what you need and more in comfort with some extra bells/whistles. Using it has reminded me of my initial beginnings years ago and my humble needs at the time. Ultimately expensive niche keyboards in unorthodox layouts are fun, but for your average user starting out it is not functionally superior or easy to adapt to. The pre-built in-stock options these days is at such a fantastic level compared to 5 years ago that it's kind of taken for granted how good 'entry-level' keyboards offerings are now. As someone whose collection mainly consists of 60% to 80% keyboards that are bit too expensive to leave at work, this feels perfect for me to leave at the office as a daily beater. I also forgot how much I miss the convenience of a numpad. Maybe I'm getting old af. The screen is not essential, but it is fun and adds a little spice to an understated aesthetic. Many thanks to my local store @garastudio_aus in Sydney for the opportunity to try this out. Thought I'd also explore to see if there's any interest in these pixel stylised keycaps based on the classic Dino run game too. Its an old project but think it would be nice to do some more budget friendly dyesub designs too

From the depths of the ossuary, GMK CYL Skeleton arises. This keycap design embraces humanity's morbid fascination with skeletal remains, and the macabre aesthetic of skulls and bones. Here, the semitranslucent outer layer lets us view the inner off-white structure. The ossified effect is not pretty. It's disturbing, gnarly and raw. This design is also a shout out for my fellow healthcare workers. It represents how one feels after years of training, exams and those brutal afterhours in hospital 💀. Thanks go to @vheissudotme (& @novelkeys ) for the skullcap mold. Also s/o to @mikeydigit for the renders. [although it was an April fool's joke, I'm hoping to get Bae x Bae made as a child kit with this project🤞]

KKB Nichirin on the QK65 MK3 just HITS 🤌🏻

Introducing the Bae x Bae keycap Featuring fully articulated affection in double-shot keycap form, this design explores themes of connection and permanence. Romance isn’t dead. It’s just… reduced to its essentials. When everything extraneous is removed, what remains is a love to bone, I mean a bone to love. For the people here who don't have a bae (like you), don't worry. Swipe right to see the "ISO Lonely" novelty keycap for you. (This highly questionable Big Ass Enter (BAE) novelty design came up during development of GMK CYL Skeleton when I overlapped the ANSI and ISO Enter Skeletons together...) #aprilfools #skeleton #mechanicalkeyboard #keycap

Now this build is 100% my cup of tea: @keykobo Nichirin, designed by @moriimx and @boba.types on a gray @aiglatson.studio Constance TKL.
