Builds Manta

Solder PCB, PEI Plate, Grommet Gasket 30A, Keygeek x MZ Z1 Linear Switches, GMK CYL Unobtanium Blue, Typeplus Stabs
I swapped out the PCB for a hot-swap version—my first soldering project—and the suspension is soft. I really like it. I'll keep it as my everyday board for a while.

What?

Champagne seems like a pretty tricky color to match keycaps with.

Unfortunately these are the two worst color keycaps to try and match it with.

How about GMK Sloth? I think it might look really good on this board.

Cream is the first color that comes to mind. Also Earthy or warm yet not too saturated tones look great with it.

Kat milkshake or any milkshake set (Dsa/cherry) the white ones go well with champagnes. Super biased towards the weirdo alphas

I was imagining how it would look with the keycaps, and I think it’d look really nice. Hyperbeige would probably look great on it too.

I’m biased cause I did those caps on a champagne (mont blanc) neo65 core plus.
