It's the CSTM80 with an unreleased top decorative case. A little sneak preview of some of the things we've been working on.
We don't offer a full size CSTM line keyboard... yet
YanboWuI have some red electroplated key caps. They're awful. If this the road you're going down, please stop! There's nothing less durable than that kind of surface. (I also collect vintage Japanese robot toys. The electroplating never survives contact with human skin.) Some nice power-coated red aluminum with some decorative designs would be worth $100 to me. Even red plastic with some nice printing on it like the green ones would be great.
LukasMWill you guys be releasing a purely red CSTM80 decorative case—without the decorations on the rocky bird? I need it to match my pre-ordered lunar new year key caps haha
Effectively, yes. If you examine the files on a technical level, you'll see differences, but using keycaps interchangeably you would not notice a difference.
With more DCD keycap sets coming out lately, it's worth highlighting the differences a little more clearly:
▪️ DCD profile is exclusively a dye-sub product line (Drop Cylindrical Dyesub), made of PBT.
▪️ DCX profile is a double-shot product line, and can be either ABS or PBT (Drop Cylindrical X - multiple materials). Until now, we have only made ABS DCX sets. PBT DCX sets could have dye-sub sublegends, in addition to the double-shot legends.
I've never pulled the trigger on building a keyboard - now I'm ready - does this kit include everything to build my mechanical keyboard? Or is there something more that I need to purchase? (please be kind)
