Some content for lemmy. HMKB-90 with /dev/tty caps and self-lubed Glorious Pandas. Took me forever to lube especially because of the awful ping noise of the pandas.
Those caps are gorgeous!

Matt3o’s work is always top notch!
/dev/tty was actually the reason I got into the whole mechanical keyboards thing a few years ago. They seemed so perfect (and they do feel incredibly good to type on!) However, they are really quite tall and I think cherry profile is more pleasing from an aesthetics point of view. Love that he went on to create the MTNU profile caps but I just do dig the "roundish" looks of them ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I never really figured out the true colours of the /dev/tty keycaps.
The ones I have are greyer. I know I am not alone as I have seen photos and posts from other people where the keycaps look more grey than white.
I think this heavily depends on the color of the board itself, the lighting, the camera you took the photo with and so on. Getting to display colors accurately on a screen is incredibly hard.
