Samsung Laughing Emoji FKLTKL
Since the parts of this custom build are not in the hardware list, here they are :
Case : Samsung Laughing Emoji - small run (5 pieces) custom fkltkl with black anodization and custom engravings. Concept by madlof, CAD by me, thanks to the discord peeps for ideas and inputs.
Switches : Orange Alps lubed with OKS with a single lock switch, desoldered from an Apple Extended Keyboard
Plate : Lasercut Polycarbonate
PCB : Custom PCB with support for Alps, SMK and MX by kelvinh_27, vial-qmk and beeper support by me
Keycaps : XDA blanks from Aliexpress, custom Olivetti inspired legends in mac azerty and DIY dye sub
I've been dailying this thing for about 10 months but working on it since December 2020. I used the laser engraver and toner method for the dye sub on the keycaps with custom Olivetti inspired legends, but as you can see it doesn't hold well. Legends started to fade after a few weeks. But I love my samsung, an alu Alps board that sounds good.
