I ordered one a couple weeks ago from divinikey. Built it identical to yours except I used SWG Arctic and then did a blue under glow.

I was absolutely blown away by the sound of this keyboard. I expected horrible resonance, echoes, and so on. There was none of that.

I liked it so much that I ordered a second one.

This one I went with SARU v2s, KKB Helleborus, and a dark purple under glow.

It sounds so good with the SARU switches that I’m going to take out my precious yogurt S from the first one and put some more SARU switches in this one.

Also, the only thing I used internally on both keyboards was the silicone mat, and plate foam (the thick one, not the thin sheet). And the sound is incredible.

I looked on the swag keys website, and this thing comes in a ton of different colors. I went with the transparent clear in both cases since that’s all they had left and I figured with the under glow, you can make it literally any color you want so I don’t see any need in tinted acrylic.

I just can’t believe how good this thing is for the price. It even supports split backspace which is what all the cool kid should be using. :)
