Polarity Works BT65 V2 PCB, KPrepublic XD68 low rise case, keycaps are...Idobao sakura or something? And I used some NK Cream Box switches I had lying around.
I needed some practice soldering, and I wanted to try a plateless build. Did not fit well. I had to dremel off one of the standoffs on the case so I could fir the battery that came with the PCB.
Looks cool, I found the ZMK tools super finnecky to work with and fam, it sounds like ass. It's like typing on a trashcan. But I wanted to see if foam and such was really just a meme.

Have you seen the left Ctrl?
Glittering-Effort-77 t1_jc7kvx9 wrote
Yeah, but still usable, not a big deal to me. OTOH the arrow keys are completely out of wack.

you don't like my arrow keys?? I feel like they could get me a job at a French car company.

i put the wrong key on and was about to take it off and then was like....naw, f*** it keep it dangling out like that
Plus I have been legit trying to practice using the heel of my hand to hit ctrl

Look again, I fucked up the SECOND row. I put a stab down for r-shift, that meant I had to use the larger Shift key, and thus I decided to put the arrows in like that. Which I really like and I am going to do it again.
Are you more dead inside now?
Want me to roll the arrow keys straight up the right hand side?

You're too dangerous to be kept alive.

So how do you use the left control key? ;) Surely that would hit the bezel unless it's a really low profile board. Sticking out over the bezel really really triggers me LOL
Deathnote_Blockchain OP t1_jc9lpx7 wrote
It's a low-profile case and those are DSA profile caps, so no problems with it hitting the bezel.
It's really fucked up looking isnt it?
