Following up from the other day... Rebuilt the Tokyo60 kit (Coyote colorway, which, when did Coyote become a thing?), this time with:
- Gateron Ink Baby Kangaroo switches (like them more than the Halo Clear switches, but they’re not my absolute favorite; may redo it yet again, when I lube the stabilizers, with maybe Boba U4T switches?)
- NovelKeys screw in stabilizers replacing the stock ones from the kit, which were totally tweaked and basically unusable
- DROP + Tokyo Season 4 Dyesub PBT keycaps for the HHKB layout
- Generic M2-0.4 mm screws (4mm length) to mount the board to the case (missing from the used kit I bought)
- Nillkin keyboard risers (“feet”) affixed with adhesive to the bottom of the board. I probably could have gone with something fixed (I’m just using these without the collapsible feet extended, to get like 6mm tilt up for the back edge), but I didn’t know that before I tried these...
I could not initially figure out how the inserts were supposed to go into the sleeves but after watching some lubing videos I figured it out (and it's obvious in hindsight). Next up, I suppose: Actually getting some lube and finishing the stabilizers (I’m just running them dry for now). This is my first non-prebuilt, and it’s been a fun learning experience!
If anyone’s supremely bored...

What layout is it, and you thinking of clearing out some space? It could sell easily on mechmarket
