How about we help complete the build with a nice keyboard cable? I'll shoot you a DM

I have never used any kind of silent switches. I hear they sort of sound and feel dead, but what are your thoughts?

So this is actually the first silent switches I’ve purchased. I bought them specifically for office purposes. I don’t want any thock or clicky-ness sounds while I’m in my office. So far they are exceeding my expectations for what they are being used for :)

Your bottom row should be 1.5u - 1u - 1.5u - 7u - 1.5u - 1u - 1.5u. Otherwise known as Tsangan bottom row.

I checked your kit and you have the keycaps for it.

Heads up that NicePBT is made through CannonKeys, not Kinetic Labs.

Looks great regardless!

Looks beautiful. My set of November Fog should be arriving today and I think this might be a sign

Are these that green?, they look more blue in the other pictures I’ve seen

The set colors for November Fog are really impacted by the lighting and colors they’re paired with, which helps the overall colorway blend into different setups nicely. That leads to some variance in photos. The mod colors are a green mostly, but have tones of blue and grey in them too. It’s meant to be a muted, natural tone. The alphas have a bit of blue/green tiny as well. The Nice PBT version alphas shift a bit more green/earthy in some light, and the GMK version will shift to a very pale blue that has a hint of green in it. The reason for the (subtle) difference was largely around optimizing based on the production process of dye sub vs colored ABS while maintaining the feel of the theme.

Love the board and combo, OP!

I nearly made the same mistake when I got my Tiger Lite. For some reason in my head it was a 6.25u spacebar because I didn't read the layout properly, so luckily I double checked before buying my tx stabs. When I actually got it built PBTfans was nice enough to include the 7u bar in an additional bottom row with the tsangan caps in my neons, which helped me not to forget again lol.

Visually yes they are, and really apply more to 7u spacebars.

Though more importantly to me they have the added benefit of giving you slightly larger ctrl and alt keys, and makes the win key harder to hit by accident. For me that means 0 accidental win key presses when crouching, or since I play MMOs keyboard style, when I'm hitting an additional hotbar combi (i.e. alt+something).

And if I wanna rage quit, they give me a nice big alt key to alt F4 with XD
