Just received my hhkb variant of the OG60 Retro. Build quality is fantastic. Looking forward to building it up this weekend.

Nice! I left the HHKB layouts to my HHKB, WKL felt more true to the G80 this was styled after - the sound with Gateron Pro Silvers on this board is superb (I used the PC plate)

Nice. How's the typing experience on the PC plate? Do you know if it differs a lot from the FR4 plate?

Planning on using lubed and filmed black ink V2s on mine.

I chose the PC over FR4 as I've built way too many (hundreds) of FR4 sandwich keyboards, and don't care for the feel or sound whatsoever anymore. It's got a good amount of flex using the gasket mount.

IMO - FR4 plates are only good purely for how cheap they are, nothing more.

Just built my og60 up. Do you feel like the sound of yours on key press is a little metallic? I noticed they keys by the edge of the case, like tab, backspace etc sound a little more metallic when typing.

Hey - no metallic noise whatsoever. I used all included foam, the PC plate, gasket mount, with Gateron Pro Silver 2.0 switches.
