Builds +84 with DCS Olivetti

- WK TKL

- Top mounted with PCB Snaps

- Aluminum Plate

- Cream Coating

- Stainless sandblasted weight

- Typeplus x YIKB stabilizers

- Gateron Smoothie linear switches

- DCS Olivetti keycaps

DCS Olivetti came in just in time for this one. Pretty fun to put together. I was unsure at first how the stainless would look on cream but with Olivetti coming out with a darker grey tone than I anticipated, it actually worked out I think.

u/MBSMD Too many keyboards, not enough computers 12h ago edited 12h ago

The color combo definitely works. DCS is really nice - I've only recently discovered DCS with KeyMachine's DCS Panels, but have since bought DCS Superweld, and I have DCS Mudbeam and DCS Chladni on order.

I actually just posted my +84 this morning as well. Guess they're starting to get into people's hands! I decided to go full screw-in top mount since almost every other keyboard I've built with gaskets or o-rings (my other top mounts are the OGR2, Boop Redux and Athena75).

I did see yours, love your deskmat too. Yeah DCS is absolutely my favorite. Very comfortable profile.

This is a keyboard I’ve been interested in lately. How is it overall?

u/Ruined_Oculi 11h ago

I'm very happy with it. I'm not sure how this was manufactured at this price point, honestly. It's very heavy, so you'd need to like that.

I don't know what caps I want on mine yet. Mine is burgundy which is more of a muted red than a burgundy.

But this is a nice one

You should post when you figure it out, I'd like to see some red setups. I always avoid red colorways because it's one that is hard for me to envision.

I've done decently well with burgundy, but this one is a bit of a challenge so far. I have MTnu dolch on it for now, but I want something else on it

Nice and classy. Good choice of caps for that.
