The Wares
SALE PENDING: CTRL, Zealios, and HyperX in bundle
(1) $140 Drop CTRL Low Profile in Space Grey (TKL): Like new. Pic 1, Pic 2. Great board, I LOVE IT – bought two in December. I am literally daily driving one at the office with these exact modifications, but kept this one for home use. Over 3 months at home, I’d estimate it’s seen the equivalence of 5 days in the office. Also, it has small scratches from pulling switches for hotswap – common to every hotswap keyboard unless it’s never had switches pulled :)
Lubed & clipped genuine Cherry stabilizers with lubed band-aid modification on PCB; CTRL uses plate-mount stabilizersCustom cut (case & PCB) neoprene foamCustom flashed with QMK matthewrobo build –base layer,function layer,caps lock layer. REALLY convenient for on-the-fly modification to RGB colors, and includes neat reactive modes (video in action); can flash back to default if desiredIncludes original accessories/box: switch puller, magnetic feet, keycap puller, and grey USB-C cableNote 1: $5 discount if you let me keep the USB-C cable – I’m really not into the coiled/aviator cable sceneNote 2: $10 discount if you bundle with the Zealios. If using together, I recommend changing out the space bar switch for a T1 – can include for free. I preferred the springiness on the upstroke.Note 3: $5 discount if you bundle with key caps
(2) $80 Zealios 62g tactile switches (87 count): Using in CTRL. See home usage note above. I might have a couple switches with bent pins I can throw in for free.
5 pin clipped to 3 pin for hotswapLubed with Krytox 205g0 – LIGHTLY lubed to retain maximum tactility and responsiveness on upstroke. The stem legs and the leaf were NOT lubed. I’m a bit OCD so I can confirm excellent lube consistency across all switches.Note: If you want these filmed, I might have some Deskeys on hand – bring it up in PM and we can discuss possibilities and price change
(3) $15 Kingston Hyper X PBT pudding key caps: barely used black pudding key caps. I quickly found I preferred shine-through legends over pudding. I’m using white/blue Drop Skylights on my daily driver.
Shipping in a bag,nottrays
(4) SOLD $35 Drop Artifact Bloom PBT BoW key caps: barely used white key caps. I quickly found I preferred bolder colors and moved to white/blue Drop Skylights on my daily driver.
Shipping in a bag,nottrays
Can send additional pics upon request!
Extra note for beginners: For what it’s worth, I’m willing to support mechanical keyboard introductory conversations to any buyers via Discord – ask me for my tag in the PM. I started in December and it has been a bit intimidating even with a friend to help me along the way. Information is readily accessible, but it’s haphazardly located, and conflicting opinions tend to muddy the waters.
Cheers, friends!

thank you for that last paragraph - definitely super intimidating starting out. GLWS!
Thanks!
Yeah, don't get me wrong. It's fun to just blindly wade into the waters to some extent, but I'd also like to think a little informed decision-making can save you some major cash LOL.
