This is keyboard #3 for me. I think I am finally there. Good feel with the Glorious Pandas (pre-lubed), good sound with a custom internal pad (poly-fill layers wrapped in tape and cut to size). Matching green metal knob from lovemyswitches (turns out knobs from guitar effects pedals fit well and come in a huge variety).

Anyway, I think I am done. My attention has been shifted to classic typewriters. I recently fell in love with the early 1970's Galaxie Twelve in Atomic Blue. (look it up, you too will be smitten). Now THAT is a mechanical keyboard!

Looks really nice. Where did you get the keycap set? I have a V6 (lower end version of the Q6) and I have been looking for a full size keycap set that includes the four macro keys. Unless they were an add-on of some kind?

It was a full set with soooo many extras. I would be surprised if there is any keyboard it doens't cover. It was on etsy. The store is jellykeycaps. It took a while, shipped from China, but the quality was excellent. Highly reccomend. I paid $71 for the set.

Extras are really nice if you decide to pick up a macro pad and you want to match the style.
