This weekend I built a keyboard! It's a Tofu65 case and KBD67v2 PCB. It's not a hotswap, so soldering the switches and such is required. Keycaps are GMK Metropolis. Here's the finished product:pic.twitter.com/WtYR3XDGJ1

Here's the spread. I used PTFE lube on the stabilizers along with dielectric grease for the wires. I used bandaids to soften the bottom out after clipping off the little feet in each stab. They are Cherry clip-ons.pic.twitter.com/WZm0mV1NUo
Be sure and test-fit the bottom row! I had some minor misalignment that I caught before soldering. But missed some stuff on the return key.pic.twitter.com/1dirtsLsBV
Upon adding key caps I realized that the foot of a stabilizer had wiggled loose. I had to desolder 1/3rd of the switches so I could pull the plate up enough to reposition. I was cursing heavily here.pic.twitter.com/QdoNs6P0f7
Some quick work with the iron and a pump got us room. Phew. Now on to a bit of foam in the base of the case to aid with acoustics.pic.twitter.com/j3jL4qJ4jA
With the soldering done, I reveled in my accomplishment. You might notice the return key's left stabilizer looks a little out of place here.pic.twitter.com/1ayhwbq9Mo
