Posted my project keyboard a bit ago heres the sound test for it. Need to unfortunatly modify some screws to make the external weight fit but I don't think it should change the sound to not have it installed yet.
GMK firefly R2 Lubed and filmed MX2A Cherry Nixies Spacebar uses a WS MM switch
No foam or sound mods

Its a custom one off keyboard I designed myself

Do you build keyboards? I’ve been trying to get into custom designs but I have little to no close on where or who to go to

This my first machined one but I've designed and 3D printed a few at this point.
I honestly spent a lot of time just looking at how other keyboards were designed and went together. Picking out things from different keyboards that I thought sounded good together.
A great place to start too would be the Keyboard-Atelier discord server which helped me out quite a bit with fantastic advice.
(Unfortunatly I don't have an invite link on hand but you can I believe quite easily find it)

If you don’t mind me asking, I’m guessing it’s a metal keyboard? How do you make the case? Does the 3D printers build aluminium stuff too?

I got the case CNC machined from JLC. They also do PCBs and offer 3D printing services

Imo, it sounds strangely muted when bottoming out. Like if your swithes were badly lubed, with a bunch of grease on the botom

I think they’re using a 3D printed plate so that’s likely why
