Yeah, I silicone pour the BBox and have tried to grab them all but I’m bound to miss one or two. They sound amazing with the silicone.

I do the same thing! I pour small amounts of silicone into each injection mold crevice. Maybe I will try concrete next time or something if I am feeling really wild

There was (is?) a concrete keeb gb. It looked amazing. Not sure how the sound profile was. Not being able to trust too much in YT’s sound software or the creators audio input, surface, etc. Maybe I’ll sacrifice one of my Cyberspace Bbox to use it as a mold for concrete then make a silicone mold of that…..hmmmmmmmm

I got one of them - Mason60. My suggestion is to make your own. The quality control was not great (bubbles, tray mount anchors just falling out, etc). I built mine with a POM plate and banana splits. I'll say that if you use cherry profile keycaps the sound is pretty meh on it. If you can stomach SA it is a much better choice to bring some of the sound profile out.

Oh I love me some tall caps. SA is guud. MT3 (ugh, Drop) are more favs. Did the case have any rebar-type material? I would think the tray mounts would have been metal. I would have welded/soldered some metal onto the standoffs and embedded them into the concrete for better stability. Any mount gets a huge amount of pressure from striking keys since the pcb is trying to move. Maybe I can figure out a 2 piece method and really get some decent rebar inside. Got a pic of the mason?
