Logitech Alto Keys K98M (KBS Mac Color + Gateron Lanes)

Recently purchased a Mac mini M4 (before the price hikes, luckily) as a family computer. I really wanted to have a "matching" keyboard to go with it, and having something like a full layout was preferable for my wife and kids. So I tried to emulate the looks of Apple's M2452 and M7803 keyboards from the late '90s and early '00s. I don't think the photo really does the translucent case justice; it looks great in person.

For the switches, I replaced the stock Logitech Marbles with Gateron Lanes, since one of my absolute favorite typing experiences is Alps Orange on the Apple M0116. These aren't a perfect substitute, but they're close enough and they sound great in this case with the gasket.

Now I just need to figure out what to do with the stock Logitech keycaps and the Marble switches!
