Beautiful board! Love the colors you chose. After I get the zoom65 in May I think this will be my next board I go for. How does it sound? Any mods on the inside?

Thank you! I've really been enjoying it in the first couple days of full use. Here's the exact build code if you'd like to see more of the internals with their configurator: V0C1D2C3A4B5A6B7B8B9A
No separate mods on it - I just lubed the stabs, but otherwise straight out of the kit. The factory lube on the Oil Kings is great, and I wasn't tempted to redo it. I wanted a relatively firm board, and the combo of the internal materials I picked nailed the snappy and responsive typing feel I was hoping for.
I would describe the sound as fairly thick, smooth, and muted, with a gentle higher-register clack. Somewhere between a little woody, and like little marbles clicking together. Probably 50% quieter than the MX Browns I had on my previous non-custom board. I'm pickier about typing feel than I am about sound, but even so it's a very satisfying sound profile. Hope that helps!
