During the covid lockdown, I got lucky and got one of the Bauer 2. I finally had some time to build it and I now can retire my loyal sticky razer friend.

Now I know why people love mechanical keyboards :) It feels amazing to type.

I used Tealio linear switches, after I completed the build I realized the W key was incredibly sensitive to any movement had to desolder and replace the switch. Now it is perfect.

Very nice build! Is that a Bauer? I’ve only seen the Bauer with a like WKL 65% layout, really wish more keyboards had this layout, the double blocker is an interesting look.

Gotta say this keyboard is pretty cool but it is probably overkill for me :) During covid lockdown there weren't many options to pick from and when I got lucky for the raffle I pulled the trigger.

I also got treasure type-9 during the lockdown and I think that one looks even better. It is a 9-switch macro keyboard, that is going to be my next build.

Yep, it is Bauer 2, I don't know the difference between the Bauer and Bauer 2 :) I really love this layout and it works really well with the game I am playing (HOTS). With my retired Razer keyboard, I found myself pressing the windows key a lot during gameplay, which was pretty annoying.
