Mom, can we have battleship?

We have battleship at home.

Okay, so technically this battleship is still in drydock, but I soldered 117 keys/buttons. I get to put the keycaps on early if I want!

I love the style on this one.

The yellow part is actually stacked on top of an identical laser-cut plate that's painted black. I need two for the right height, and I could change without too much work, but the yellow one felt more fun for this board, which is entirely unnecessary and verging on meme territory.
