Keyboard
This is an excellent intro to 40% boards, with arrows and some other useful keys. The layout I programmed for it is really nice. Left thumb is Shift, or tap for backspace, and right thumb is space. There are lot of tap/hold and tap-dance functions - the board is programmable with QMK, and even VIA compatible. Before you buy, I can have a call with you to discuss the layout you'd prefer, and I'll program it for you. I know what I'm doing with QMK
Pro-Micro, so USB Micro cable required.
Switches
The switches have a really custom layout - all NovelKeys Silk Reds, which are fully POM linear switches. They come factory lubed with Krytox 205g0, and TaehaTypes has described them as the best stock linears he's tried. These switches are really light, so here's where the custom stuff comes in: I switched out the springs on some particular switches with 62-67g springs (can't remember which tbh, either way it's heavier). These are from Tealios, and I also put in the stems from those switches, so that they're easily identifiable.
These switches are the ones your strongest fingers rest on - SDF, JKL, and the split space keys. This greatly helps prevent accidental keypresses at rest, while having all keys at a really comfortable weight. Note that the switches are all soldered in.
Stabs are lubed with dielectric grease, and there is no rattle whatsoever.
Keycaps
I'm including the Tai-Hao Dark Tunnel keycaps. These are doubleshot PBT caps that were released fairly recently. I'll include everything except the numpad, which I used in a macropad I built for a friend. The set sells for R800 new, so this essentially TKL set is worth around R600 or so. It's a really nice set, but I've got other caps that need some love.
