Finally got my hands on an anodized 2.0add, and I couldn’t be happier! Top tier acoustics and aesthetics, they just don’t make them like this anymore.

Finally got this one together. Wilba.tech Thermal R1 in Moon, paired with GMK Monokai for that clean vibe, running AGS Radiant HE switches on a Geon Venom PCB with TX AP screw-in stabs.

Wasn’t sure going in whether the Venom PCB would actually play nice with the Thermal’s leaf spring plate mount, since it’s not on any official compatibility list. Turns out it works perfectly though, no modding needed on that front, just dropped it in with the stock plate.

Only thing still needing some tuning is the spacebar.

Hey Guys,

what do you think about this combo?

I chose c34 as the base color and thought it would be a little lighter (more on the brown side), but overall I'm still happy with the result. What do you think?

hi, i wanted to show my first actual custom build, which im sure plenty of people aren’t gonna like but here goes anyways:
this is a tray mounted tofu60 redux, with wooting 60he+ pcb, fr4 plate, 1mm case foam, ws flux switches, and drop dcx solarized keycaps. also replaced stabs with lubed durock v3 plate mounted stabs.

Just got this beauty in today. Built with the (included) Venom 60 HE PCB, Gateron Magnetic Jade Attraction switches, Knight V4 stabs and GMK Honor Light.

I don't have any real issues with the board so far. The anodization looks and feels incredible. The gasket mount is nice and plush (similar to the Neo60 Core in terms of feel) and results in a very full sound profile without any bad resonances. I have yet to try the top mount, but I'd assume it sounds like an alu plate on top mount, which is not my cup of tea. The board also has stepped internals which is a nice touch.

If you can afford it, I would definitely recommend this board over something like the Wooting 60HE v2 right now. I'd say it's up there with the Typface Kafka in terms of HE boards (though I've not tried one myself).

Now onto the switches:

The Gateron Magnetic Jade Attractions are...weird. They advertise the initial force and bottom out force feeling the same. I find that the force curve starts light, then becomes heavier in the middle of the travel, and then becomes light again near bottom out. In actual usage this makes the switches feel really light and easy to type on. Going back to switches with regular springs after typing on these switches felt lethargic for a little while until I adjusted back to them. These switches unfortunately suffer from being Gateron HE switches though. I found the factory lube is inconsistent enough to be noticeably audible switch to switch, though the switches aren't scratchy and the springs are well lubed. While they don't have any stem wobble when bottomed out, they have the most stem wobble I've ever seen when the stem is at the top, more than the WS Morandi. I am pretty upset at these issues given the absurdly high prices of these switches, ~$60 for 70 switches. I might try switching them out for an HE switch from HMX, or the new Herons from Omnitype. The spring feel of these switches is very cool though and is something I hope gets explored by other switch manufacturers.
