• Keychron Q1 with alu plate

• TX Stabs lubed with krytox 205g0
• Aifei SA Keycaps

I wish to mount a keyboard with SA keycaps, they looks incredibles.

Love the combination with the mat. Very sweet kweb and great pic :)

Those keycaps look a lot like MG profile.

How much were they? All I found was an aliexpress listing that's no longer available.

The aesthetic is great but typing with them is quite tiresome because they are so tall. But maybe it's just my problem...

You're probably right, but there is something inside me that compels me to buy it hahahaha.

I have some SAs on a Keychron Q7 and I dont find them hard to type on.

What deskmat is this

looks clean~~

Definitely not just you. Started with an Akko board with ASA caps. Loved the sound and thick/thock, but I stumbled so freaking much. Tried Cherry/XDA/OEM and like them all much better, and want to try DSA since the smaller surface seems to be easier to find. Cherry has been my favorite so far. Currently trying out some MT3, since they were on a $25 sale for the Captain America ones, and they seem to be a happy middle. Not quite as tall, but I don't stumble too much, and kinda digging the sculpted feeling.

Satisfying T H O C

I haven't build a custom keyboard yet, but maybe this week all stuff I bought will arrive and I will be able to build it, so... I'm not familiar with most of the things you have mencioned, but thx for the info anyway, i'll try to check it all and I hope you can see my first custom build soon, I'm so excited with it.

I haven't gotten too into either. Just changed Keycaps and switches, which you just pull off with a tool. Pretty simple, like keyboard Legos, and a good start to see what keycap profile you like, and what kind of switch with how much force/push back. I believe u/badmark has a YouTube channel Mech Tech with some videos where he breaks down how to do those, as they are most people's first step.

I'm practicing unmount and mount, soldering and undoldering, opening switches and lub it to in a 60€ keyboard, but thanks for the info anyway.

That looks really clean. I'm a sucker for blue themed keebs so take my upvote!
If you don't already have a custom cable for this, send me a PM and let's see about setting you up with something from us at CableMod :)

same deskmat as the qk65 post! Are you the same guy?

That actually looks so nice🤯

OP just won the /r/mechanicalkeyboards powerball

Looks like The Great Wave Off Kanagawa https://deskpads.gallery/product/the-great-wave-off-kanagawa

I just PMed you! Love your products and really glad you liked my build 🥰

Yeah hahaha I had to make the most out of the setup so I took some shots of my two favorite boards right now

They are definitely SA profile, but the angle and thick bezels of the Q1 make it look like a lesser profile.

I think they were something around 50€ from AliExpress, but the shop were I got them is gone now.

If you try searching for aifey sa keycaps you should get some results, hope it helps !

While I love SA profile, it's true that it can be a bit hard to type on it because of the eighth. But if you use a wrist rest, I find them super comfortable and easy to hit each keystroke no problem

Guess it's all about preference at the end of the day, but the looks are unbeatable imo

Yep! That's right. Awesome desk mat that goes well with lots of colors.

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I will try to post more photos of my boards from time to time :)

haha 😂 both seem to be great boards!

Did you go with the 1.2 or 1.6 for the TX stabs? :D

I went with 1.6 stabs, Q1 PCB is 1.6 mm so theres that. Hope it´s helps!
