Schema M60 - Mounted with Keygeek Explosion & GMK Mictlan Renaissan + Centinela Extension
The board is pleasing to build, pretty straitghforward : unscrew, put gasket, screw back. You can have a lot of fun with this board : clacky, classic, tactiles... it can welcome everything with ease. Would say a clacky build is more "interesting" to me, a MX Black adept - Keygeek Explosions were a really good surprise !
Gotta say this board could be one of my favourite 60% to swap from time to time with another to enjoy my games. It's light and easy to move on the desk, thanks to its design. Can't wait for my own unit.
Big plus : it's compatible with any third-party 60% PCB ! Tried a Khor on it, fits perfectly ! However, concerning this one, please remind you'll need a EZMate cable instead of a full JST one.
Don't hesitate, the gb still runs !
Been a long time in the making but it’s finally done. An EC 60 in Tsangan layout with the extreme tactility, once only possible with BKE Redux Extremes. When Astro Domes announced their BKE inspired domes it set everything into motion.

For Fathers day my fam got me a X-T3 now I can have more fun 😁
The Gok 7V has been my go to keyboard as of late. Built with HMX Yogurt S' on an aluminum plate and topped with a combo of GMK Taro/GMK Monarch keycaps. Archetype Artisans to add a little more character. A small detail was also added with a KDA custom 7V Badge.
Has my endgame been reached?
Probably not..

The MTNU profile is the one I prefer and therefore would like to see more of. Though there are sets dripping out, it is nowhere comparable to the flood of CYL profile sets being pumped out. So instead of just complaining about it I have been mulling about whether to design some options myself and run ICs and hopefully GBs for them. And for that I want to juggle ideas and get this community's thoughts and suggestions.
First, let's look at what we have currently available, particularly what could be considered "fundamental" areas. As I see it the "classic grey-ish" segment is satisfied with the Classic Beige, MODO Light, Granite and Foundation sets. As for black, we have the WoB set, which covers that substantial ground. The 800 in particular and the Mictlán sets sort of provides some satisfaction for the dark brown/retroish need. Venturing away from the foundational colours into more particular ones Skyritter fills the green niche and Rascals provides a burgundy colour and Space Cadette provides a grey-and-blue colourway.
As for coming sets, Welles is being produced providing a moody retro cream/maroon/blue set, a Honeywell colourway (white/red/black) is likely to be GB:d and it seems like there will be a Striker set coming providing a bright blue colourway.
Then there are quite a few sets that are basically unavailable, early MTNU runs that can only and seldom be found in the second hand market. Reruns of these might be a possibility, but that relies on GMK or the original creators.
So this leads to the main question: what colourways are most desired or missing? In my opinion, MTNU needs some more solid foundational sets to create a solid base to build the user base before pushing "exotic" or "niche" colourways. I feel that pushing fringier sets atm will risk weak sales and turn vendors away from the profile.
As for sales drivers, we have seen that accent sets are extremely popular; f.i. the Mictlán accents sold out long before the base sets.
TLDR; what MTNU colourways/sets would you like to see?

Feels and sounds great. Tried to get a sound sample off my phone but didn't do it justice so it's not worth posting. Will try to get a better one at work where I've got a decent mic.
Hey, just updated 36ribs project, added led under controller to make it a bit flashy, case now can be with magnets instead of screws to see another ribs on pcb. Here: https://github.com/TMRZ-1/36ribs

The main goal was to build a daily driver for my dev workflow. I wanted something completely wireless that fits my aesthetic. I used Kailh Choc Browns.
I documented the entire DIY process. Video here (it's in Russian, but I've added English subs):
I'm still tweaking my ZMK keymap, but it's pretty good so far.
