Cloudline v2 by @jjw_concepts topped with @philippwade's @gmk_keycaps Digital Nightmares. Really enjoy this board - there's so many little details that contribute positively to the aesthetics and feel, as well as quality of life as a builder. Easy top TKL choice out there.With artisans by @ennui_apathy @azi.keycaps @prime_caps @zearoh

Slate Zero by @atelier.magnus - a board that boasts a clean, simplified look with a completely level typing angle (0 degrees, truly). It is comfortable in use with its silicone gaskets and it also has the option of a 5 degree riser. A feature I enjoyed seeing was the Win/Mac toggle in the back.This Champagne colored unit is shown with uniform profile DSA Skull Squadron keycaps by @spkeyboards and matt3o.Typing sounds on my YouTube.

The Seal80 by @sensy.lab. This one is a special board especially for those looking to change it up with vintage switch builds. Instead of the usual MX switch build, I decided to go the other way and tried a linear Hi-Tek Space Invader build and a clicky SKCM Blue ALPS build. Overall, a very solid top mount with classic design cues and plenty of fun options for customizability.I hope that more of the community can embrace vintage and alternative switch options like @sensy.lab has done here.Thanks maxgpdx for loaning SI parts and @ises4ever for helping accommodate all these PCBs and plates.Any artisan makers wanna make some artisans for SI? GB for Seal80 is live until Apr 24 via @divinikeys @toro_keyboard @unikeyboardsofficial @monacokeys @geonworks @ilumkb_ @aiglatson.studio @jae_prototypist @mokb.store @zfrontier_inc

The Touchstone by James of @cannon.keys. Easily one of the most stunning full-size keyboards I've seen - comes with a bit of classic keyboard (top mount to boot) and a punch of classical modernism. Inspired by modern art, the keyboard itself becomes the piece. The mixed top colors, the play with materials and textures at the bottom -- it's wonderful.With White on Black and Classic Black on White @gmk_keycapsArtisans by @level.caps @trmkcaps @brew_caps @nightcaps.keycaps

Artifact or keyboard? Follow-up to the @artifact.industries Stratum-80. This time with the Charcoal top, which swaps easily thanks to magnets.The PCB designed by @yiancardesigns features a neatly constructed script. On the back it deciphers to: "verba volant, scripta manent / stratum80 / sol-3 earth-691 3018ad". The Latin translates to "spoken words fly away, written words remain" - a fitting nod to the "found human artifact" nature of this design ️Modern Dolch @gmk_keycaps by @omnitype / @qoda.studioArtisans by @haon_tra @mastonon.kaps @level.caps @prime_caps
