Hand-wired, 3D printed case, laser cut switch plate, “laser dye sub” keycaps, custom layout.
Posted this on a couple of communities a while back, but I just subbed here and this board has actually worked really well.

I do think it's a really cool project, I am more of a completely custom keycap kind of guy but thanks nonetheless
Understandable. I stay cheap on my keycaps, but I do have some Akko SA-L on a (slightly) more traditional TKL-like I did before this one, and I do like my bright little plastic nuggets, though I fell down a different rabbit hole within the hobby.
These started as blank PBT in XDA. I needed non-sculpted and blank modifiers to accommodate all my no-stabilizers shenanigans, so I used "infusible ink" markers to color in the tops and then precisely heated them with my laser engraver and cleaned with acetone. Lasers and acetone would be very bad for ABS.
