I think it’s kind of mediocre sounding but not too bad. I tend not to focus too much on sound

I've had great success on 3dp sound improvement using plate foam :)

Thanks. I might do that but it’s got a few rough edges I would want to fix so I’m not sure when it might happen

Would probably look right at home inside a landspeeder or inside the Mos Eisley Cantina even!
I love the novelties but personally not a fan of the color scheme.

The PCB seems ok but I did have an issue at first where half a row of keys wouldn’t work (possibly because I scratched some traces). I couldn’t fix it, but I bought two of the PCBs just in case and I ended up desoldering it and redoing it with the replacement

This is SA Tatooine on an XD68 PCB with a carbon fiber plate and 67g Zealios switches. I picked this board mostly because it had a layout that would allow me to use all of the novelties that came with SA Tatooine (aside from the alternate Enter key).
I designed and 3D printed the case in beige PLA filament and then sanded it using progressively finer sandpaper until the surface was extremely smooth. It looks almost like polished wood now. I’m actually pretty impressed. I wasn’t sure if I would like the color scheme, but I think the beige/tan works to balance out the colorfulness of the rest of the board, and also brings to mind the sand of Tatooine.
