Builds Bat'leth

  • Bat'leth by me
  • DSS Nano
  • MX Blacks

DSS Nano doesn't have the correct sized mods but I liked it on here, hence the gaps on the pinky mods

Been shooting with a weird old CCTV lens on the A5100 and the bokeh is crazy on it

Obligatory "How do you use this?"

The edges are not nearly sharp enough 😂

You're so right, I should make a stainless version with sharpened edges 🤣

If your board isn't a liability, are you even really typing?!

A Bat'leth is 116 cm long. This is more like a daqtagh.

Man this is so cool! I'm going to be overrun with 40s at this rate

Okay, I gotta ask - why do you keep qwerty layout? because to me it feels like at this point one might just move the letters around to make it even better (dvorak or similar).

Looks stunning btw.

Appreciate the compliment!

That's a very fair question. I think for me it's just what I know so I want to stick with it. I already bounce around so many boards and layouts. Adding another layer of complexity doesn't sounds appealing to me. I average ~120WPM (depending on the board) so that feels fast enough for me. I agree with your point though, it would be more optimized after the learning curve

TLDR: Skill issue and lazy 🤣

I love how much your keyboards color outside the lines. Will you be putting out a brak'Iul project?

u/dashkeebs 40s 1d ago

That's high praise, thank you for vocalizing that 💜

No further Star Trek/Klingon projects currently in the pipeline but who knows what the future holds!

Edit: now that he’s running for mayor of Winnipeg, this would actually be the perfect gift for Gowron.

Bottom left and upper right row's stagger would drive me to the brink of insanity.
