Custom Franken-Set on my Lofree Hyzen (NicePBT Cyrillic + YMDK Mars Green)

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share my latest setup and a quick modding story.

Specs:

Keyboard: Lofree Hyzen
Alpha Keys: NicePBT Cyrillic Sublegend Classic Beige from CannonKeys ($65)
Modifiers: YMDK 143 Keys Mars Green Cherry Profile PBT ($23.99)

The Build Story: I initially bought the YMDK Mars Green set for the aesthetics, but a few of the alpha keys started binding/sticking on the switches due to minor tolerance issues.

Instead of scrapping the setup, I ordered the NicePBT Cyrillic set from CannonKeys and mashed them together. The beige alphas with green sub-legends from NicePBT blended seamlessly with the YMDK green modifiers!

The 1.5mm PBT from CannonKeys solved the binding issue completely, and the mix gives the board a unique retro-industrial vibe while sounding deep and thocky.

Thoughts on the combo?

Lofree Hyzen: little indicator light next to the left arrow key

Been using Lofree Hyzen for a week now and I’m honestly in love with it - it’s absolutely fantastic! Everything feels and sounds amazing.

My only tiny wish list item for a software update would be the ability to remap that little indicator light next to the left arrow key in Lofree HUB. It’d be awesome if we could assign it to Caps Lock. That way, if I ever swap out the stock keycaps for a non-shine-through set, I’d still have a clear, dedicated Caps Lock indicator. Would be such a nice quality-of-life feature!
