And here are the legends!

Need to redo one blue wire which is bad for some reason, but it accepted the code seemingly without other issues.

Who likes LEDs?!

And with that I think this build is finished!
I still need to drill a whole in back for the cable, and add some rubber feet maybe.
I might make a second one for the right side, and hopefully I can fix some of my errors on that one.
But it works great, it's so satisfying pushing a cube and generating a cube!

That is awesome!

Thanks andrewjoy, i'd like to something a bit more elaborate for the next one, but I'm not sure what yet.

Yeah I love this: the case, the caps, the leds, the labels, all look great.

Although, the little bit of overhang on the flat plane label makes me fidgety.

When I see this kind of thing I'm reminded how much I'd like to get a custom dye sub setup like https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyb ... _own_caps/

Yeh i took care of that corner, hehe.
I would love to take a stab at that, method. If i ever get a laser engraver I want to try the powder method as well.

I was thinking of getting a wooden case made for standard filco etc TKLs but do it as lots of layers of wood ( a bit like the acrylic cases.) End grain plywood can look quite good if its decent stuff and finished well.

Plywood is under-rated as a medium.
Especially modern plywood, it's much more robust these days.

Have you seen the Taobao Alps relegendable keycaps?

I have now!
Interesting, now LED holes though, can't be picky and choosy with Alps though.

Perhaps drill a hole in the bottom pieces so the LED shines through?
