That sound is satisfying, reminds me of big rain drops hitting the ground or a slanted window.

where did you buy that plate from?

[north kayak]

I got them from this store https://omegatype.co/en-us/products/custom-cut-plates?variant=43442243010734 but keep in mind that you have to include a plate file that depends on your case

[frosty brook]

sound great! Do you have any problems with the hall effect when using the carbon fiber plate?

[north kayak]

no issues that I know of at 0.4mm actuation and 0.6mm rapid trigger

[reef hollow]

Any issues come up with this build? Specifically the plate? How do you like the cerakeycaps? Thanks

[north kayak]

the only issue was with the cerakey spacebar; I had to order a heavier spring to hold it up. until then I just used a normal plastic spacebar

[north kayak]

updated sound test with cerakey space bar

[reef hollow]

I see, the spring has no issues with the lekker switches? Thank you

[mystic vector]

where did you find heavier spring that fits lekker switches ?

the size that fits the switches are the 0.3mm wire diameter, 6mm outer diameter
for the length, i tried 15mm and 20mm. 15mm felt like the same as the stock switches, 20mm with cerakey spacebar (which is around 15g? heavier than a normal spacebar) felt similar but slightly heavier than another switch i have which has a 65g bottom out. so I would say that the 20mm spring has somewhere around a 90g bottom out force? unfortunately there isn't an inbetween length so i'm not sure if i'd recommend any option if you are using normal keycaps

[north kayak]

also pinging in case this is helpful

[mystic vector]

Got the Cerakey too but trying to search for a workable solution for the spacebar. I'm not a heavy typer and it bottoms too easily for my liking. Thx for the tips

[gusty girder]

were there any interference with the north facing lekker switch and the cherry profile cerakey?

[north kayak]

Ooh forgot about this, I can't remember. There may or may not have been interference, because they are slightly different from standard cherry heights. I just know that I flipped the Q A Z rows to south facing just in-case.

this is sick

top mount with carbon fiber = chef kiss

rebuilt with jades & pp plate for anyone that reads this

[obtuse pine]

Where can I purchase this case?

[candid oracle]

Dunno which one is that but you can search for TOFU60 REDUX CASE which is similar. I also have mine into the acrylic transparent one

[obtuse pine]

Thanks for the reply.
I just learned they no longer sell the same one.

Thanks for letting me know! I'll look around some more and if I can't find it, I'll buy it!

[north kayak]

I agree with musedoubler. The acrylic tofu60 is probably the most similar as you can have a brass weight as an addon.

I got my case on r/mechmarket but unfortunately there hasn't been anyone selling this case for awhile. Maybe you could post a buy request but I would go with the other case
