10 years, slight yellowing, but still feels amazing to type on.

Rate my setup

Finally get my setup where I want it. Keyboards are up on the wall now which solved like my biggest headache. The chair is still my favorite thing tho. How's it looking?

I turned spare mechanical keyboard switches into a clock for my first original 3D design

This is my first original 3D design project.

https://makerworld.com/models/2904133?appSharePlatform=copy

I wanted to give spare mechanical keyboard switches and keycaps a second life, so I designed and printed a clock that uses them as hour markers.

The body is fully 3D printed and uses a standard quartz clock movement.

It's still a prototype, and I'm already planning some improvements, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I'd love to hear any feedback or ideas for future versions.

warm vintage desk setup 🌍

A foreign trade coordinator from Jiangsu, China who decided early that tech and vintage could coexist — not as a contradiction, but as a deliberate system. LED glow dialed back to near-zero, warm ambient light kept. Everything within arm's reach. The design principle: 'function over aesthetics, and if you have many hobbies, your desk needs to be big enough to hold all of them.'

**Gear list:**

- Monitor: ROG PG32UCDMR

- Monitor arm: Ergotron LX PRO matte black (desk clamp)

- Keyboard: SingaKBD RubreHaku (custom build)

- Keyboard cable: GeekCable custom

- Mouse: FINALMOUSE UIX (purple)

- Mouse pad: GMK CYL

- Chair: Herman Miller

- Riser: Hexcal Studio

- Storage: vitra / NESON DESIGN / Walden Woodworkers vintage pen cup / 制吉家居 / IKEA / Hay / MUJI

- Hub: Dockcase (card reader + chassis extension)

- External SSD: Kingston XS1000

- Charger: Anker 250W desktop charging station

- Speaker: KEF

Hexcal Studio anchors the system — keeping power, cables, and surface space unified beneath a desk that was already doing a lot of work.

Nuxros Kraze65 Proto - Vintage Colorway, Brass Alu Machining Weight Variant

Keycaps & Artisans

  • GMK CYL Classic Arabic
  • Amano Studio Green Hween Mask, Wildkeycaps GMK Green Alert, Hunger Work Studio/Binge Hidden Hunger, Triggidy/DaftProphet Corn, Wheat Green Party Hat

Internals

  • Metakeebs EC ready-to-build 35g dome weight bundle
  • PCBSnap (FKM 60a)

If you're coming to KeyCon in a few days, I'll be bringing this with me. Try it out!

First impressions are that the EC bundle is a nice way to get newbies into EC without having to source everything (although that in itself is fun. I'll be doing that for the CCRSEX). While I am a 60% o-ring enjoyer, I never actually have tested out PCBSnap (or KeySnap), so this was my first experience doing so, as that's the mounting style for the Kraze.

Honestly, from a sound perspective, I dig it, and while you have to be a bit careful when placing the internals into the case itself, being able to not have to mess with gummy snake o-rings is definitely nice. Although maybe that's a skill issue, as I've snapped one in my face one too many times.
