That's one slim setup you got there! Does that secondary screen work well for you? Seems like you're looking at it at an extreme angle!

That backdrop is super cool, I'd like something like that for myself ugh

Never used a Keychron… I would still go with AKKO, Cool little badge on the back, semi transparent, lol graphic tape mode included. Crazy flex with or w/o the provided foams… it’s a good deal IMO

Can I ask how you routed the cable? It seems like hollowing the angled branch would be hard. A long drill bit?

It’s just a CIY65. With some cement bring up the weight and plastic sound and black automobile paint to make it look a little higher end the plate is painted copper.

Only normal mod is like a half burger. So the only the back row of screws and they are on o rings. So it can flex in the front of the board.

What’s the 980, the last one on the keyboard wall? First thought it was the translucent blue TM980 with a custom blocker above the numpad, but yours looks more like a teal color. Could just be the lighting.

Naw. Nothing that cool. It’s the Click Labs’ CL98. But it is a custom badge. “Hammered” spray paint, you can buy anywhere has a cool reaction when you spray one color and then spray another right on top! I love it!

What's your thoughts on the last keyboard? (YUNZII IF98?)
I've been thinking of getting one, honestly not completely sure how it feels or sounds from the little to none videos on it.
And would you happen to have any other suggestions that are around that price point?

I love my Victrix BFG (PS5 tho), that diamond shaped d-pad is surprisingly comfortable and accurate.

What kind of customisation does the app provide? Unless recently updated it doesn’t support my controller yet.

Nothing worth while IMO. This is my second one and I didn’t use the app at all with my first one I just over locked them both times. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference. it performed amazing w/o the app

Fair enough, that’s my experience as well! I never encountered them in the wild tho so figured I’d ask.

Nice. I've got an odd shaped nook (sloped ceiling) so it's nice to see how people do theirs. How did you do the backing and the lamp, if you don't mind.

headed2shredded OP t1_jebtrs7 wrote

Of course. It’s just an old bed frame a neighbor threw out. With card stock behind it and faux moss from micheals

The lamp was a dead branch I sealed it with some polyurethane and routed out the back and put the cord through it and used hot glue to hold it in place. The actual fixture is from the dollar store I took off the decorative pieces and painted it

Dude_with_the_skis t1_jechsx6 wrote

Yo I gotta ask, did you build your PC case yourself? It looks like wood and tempered glass (looks awesome dude). If you did build it yourself, how did you figure out where to place the mounting screws for the motherboard?

Also is that a water-cooled system inside?

Either way looks great!

homegrowntwinkie t1_jecnnp9 wrote

Bro. This is fucking endgame level setup aesthetically speaking. Did you BUILD that case yourself?? Or did you find it somewhere or what? I must know. I also see your GPU is mounted outside, and what is the big ass fan blade thing inside?

1

headed2shredded OP t1_jecqizj wrote

Aye! Thanks my dude!

I did, but I made it out of a bamboo shoe rack from goodwill and some scrap plexiglass.

The gpu is on a long PCIe extender.

And the fan is cooler master’s G100m low profile fan. Just painted it a bit to match the style.

homegrowntwinkie t1_jed7g26 wrote

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Hows the thermals in the case? I'm assuming not too great, but if you did it yourself I could totally be wrong.

2

headed2shredded OP t1_jed8ppm wrote

Wait why would the thermals be bad?

2

homegrowntwinkie t1_jed9whg wrote

Well because wood is known to not be too great at heat dispersion/dissipation, but certain metals usually are. I also didn't notice where air vents might be(but again that might just be I haven't seen them yet) But if you say it runs like a dream, I believe you. I love the look of this setup and have been wanting a wooden case for a looong time now. Just gotta find one that has good thermals.

1

headed2shredded OP t1_jedaomx wrote

Yea, I got you there is no wood touch any component. It’s just an open air case, so there isn’t really any over heating issues. The only thing enclosed is the PSU. You can kind of see the grate above it. The biggest issue is dust because their are no filters. Lol so in a couple weeks if I don’t can air it we will have some super terrible issues

What do you think of getting one later cut and just do an open air type thing too?

homegrowntwinkie t1_jef0phe wrote

OH I saw the reflection of the keyboard on the front of the case, and assumed there was plexiglass covering the side of the internals you can see and was like "hm. This seems like there might not be a good amount of airflow." But now i see that panel is actually open and is just me assuming things!

Also, I'm unsure what you mean by getting one later cut?
