Specs:

  • Keychron Q6 (Gray, barebones)
  • 62g V2 Zilents - Lubed and filmed
  • NicePBT Black-on-Gray caps
  • Custom cable from Mechcables

A couple months ago my tech-nerd dad told me that his old Matias keyboard had died, and that he'd just been using a chiclet board from Apple. Well that wasn't going to stand on my watch, so I took a literal stack of keyboards over to his house and we had a 45-min testing session: Linears (MX Reds, Black Inks, Silent Alpacas, etc) tactiles (Zilents x2, MX Browns), clickies (MX Blues); TKL, 65%, Alice layouts; GMK and PBT keycaps; DSA profile, Cherry profile; etc, etc.

He liked the Zilents a lot, and wanted another full-size board. He chose the Gray aluminum case for the Q6, and wanted Black-on-Gray caps. I'm not a huge fan of the mismatched grays between the caps the case, but it's alright.

Super fun building this as a gift!

Anyone not in the hobby would think that you're obviously overexaggerating...
