it will arrive soon after like a year of delay because of covid and then the suez blockage D:

any good 60% board recommendations? would prefer a board with a metal housing

yeah my instant 3 questions are:

1. custom or pre-built

2. if custom, group buy or in-stock

3. if custom, does it need to be hotswap or can you solder

I thought about it and you might be interested in trying the Bakeneko on cannonkeys, it goes live later today:
https://cannonkeys.com/blogs/updates/the-cannonkeys-bakeneko60

it's an in-stock 60% with o-ring gasket mounting for $130, and it's made of aluminum

the downside is that it's cast aluminum rather than cnc machined, and it's painted rather than anodized. so if you're after the most premium aesthetics/machining you should probably look elsewhere. but I'm pretty confident that if you want

a) 60% layout
b) great sound and feel
AND
c) an all-metal case

that it would be really hard to beat this board below $200

dream(s?) is a pretty sick keycap set imo. Very unfortunate that more and more companies are moving to only selling their keycaps with generic boards, had to blow 150$ for a 110% Sea Melody kb from varmillo for the keycaps set.

realistically they could probably sell them for 100$ a pop and farm cash

IBM Model F keyboards. Currently typing on a 5291 "Bigfoot" keyboard that I customised, but I have a boxed XT on the way, as well as a brand new F62 from modelfkeyboards.com. Got a very pingy AT as well.

Finally got around to taking photos of the board I built last winter:

https://push.dubthink.com/2021/07/denseboard_mk1_top.jpg

I wanted the most compact 104-key I could get, couldn't find any good options, so I made my own. Lefthand numpad is objectively superior for RH mouse users and I will die on that hill - not sure why there aren't more options for it out there.

Laser cut aluminum frame with SS standoffs, kailh speed bronze switches, hand wired matrix, teensy++ 2.0 controller, MT3 Susuwatari keycaps. Finding a sculpted keycap set that fit this layout was honestly the hardest part.

Agreed! Thought about getting a 75% layout and a separate numpad to put on the left, still havent pulled the trigger tho
