While stuck at home, I've had a chance to indulge in all sorts of my hobbies (I have too many, please send help).
I've been into mechanical keyboards for about five years now, but only recently built my first custom keyboard after discovering how reasonably priced KBDFans kits were last year. I joined the group buy for the KBD67v2 MKII last fall, and first it got delayed by Chinese New Year, then it got delayed by COVID-19, but I finally got it in April.
I love typing on this. Zealios v2 are a joy to use. I have a couple more keycap sets arriving in the next month or two (again delayed)...can't wait to see what they look and feel like on it.
KBD67v2 MKII (hotswap version)
Switches: Zealios v2 62g - Lubed with Tribosys 3203
Stabs: Cherry MX - Lubed with Tribosys 3203 and dielectric grease
Keycaps: MiTo SA Laser
Numpad: YMDK Macro Pad (Cherry MX brown)
Gamepad: Logitech G13
A few build photos:

Wow, I love this. Have a keyboard that simply had English/Japanese on it would be great enough, but the custom keys look awesome too. Great job. =)

Is the hiragana layout the same as it would be in Japan? Wonder how hard it would be to learn to type hiragana easily on a keyboard lol. I have no problem doing the romaji and having it switch to hiragana, but straight hiragana would be amazing to learn.

Another of the long-delayed group buys I joined last fall finally arrived. This one is the GMK Camping keycap set.  This is another somewhat unusual set, in that the hiragana legends came on the base kit by default. On most kits, the alphas are always basic...to get special ones with different legends, colors, etc, you have to spring for another add-on kit, as in this new set on Massdrop. I've got one more keycap set coming, GMK Nautilus Nightmares. Hopefully soon, but who knows with all these pandemic delays. I think I like how the SA Laser set looks on my Massdrop CTRL, so I'll leave that there, and I've got SA Vilebloom on my Realforce Topre board. So it'll come down to either this set or NN for my KBD67v2. And maybe I'll sell the one I don't use...they're pretty spendy. 😅 |
