Check pages 13 - 16 for lighting effect and other hotkeys, so you don’t have to install dumbo GMMK software.
GRATS! POGGERRRRRRRRRS!

asdfghkl; thanks very much, it came with manual but too lazy to get the box now .-.
why dog fur already stuck between keys!
Here’s my two that I care about. Top is my daily driver G Pro X with GX Browns (which replaced my regular G Pro with Romer G tactiles that has some blue LED failure, I use that with my XP machine now). Entirely depends on my mood for the day on which I prefer, though I pretty much always prefer the Romer’s sound.
Bottom is a Dell QuietKey RT7D5JTW that I scored NIB for an absolute steal 6 years and a little over a week ago, and it’s muh baby. I’d absolutely love to find a NIB Alps version that isn’t abhorrently expensive, but I doubt I’ll ever get that lucky.
Eighty #391 + /dev/tty MT3 Keycaps Update!
Drop + Matt3o /dev/tty MT3 Keycap Set
Den touched it.
…No context.
Stuff Me Likey:
Stuff That… Uh… [Anguished Noises]:
Sound Sample: Modded Ink Black (150g) Switches + /dev/tty MT3 Keycaps
…TBH, I prefer the sound of the EnjoyPBT Blank Black Keycaps. Spacebar sound is particularly irritating. Although, I have the R4 Spacebar/Bottom Row (angled profile) in, and I’m noticing that the bottom row keycaps scrape against the R4 row’s keycaps sometimes. Might try the R5 Spacebar/Bottom Row (flat profile) and see if that changes things.
BIG BUTTS ()
Truth be told, I planned to use these keycaps with another board. The other parts for the other board hadn’t arrived, however (probably won’t arrive until late next month, TBH), aaand I couldn’t keep my eager hands off the keycaps.
From the start, the Eighty #391 plus the /dev/tty MT3 keycap set was meant to be a temporary arrangement. Like a frisky one-night stand – a new experience for that fresh and reinvigorating feeling, but not something that’s meant to last. Sometimes a memory is made all the more sweeter simply because it won’t be revisited ever again, no? After this fun little romp with some shades of gray, it’ll be back to good o’ black for my daily driver.
…Very hungry for a black and dark gray version of this blank keycap set.
( It exists. It’s called the Drop + Matt3o MT3 3277 Keycap Set. …I’ve already pre-ordered it. Self-control, wazzat?)
Eighty #391 Update - Freaking Flawless
Got my custom cable with aviator connectors!
I said it in my other post (Post your shinny new things!) and I’ll say it here too:
Everything about this purchasing experience – customization, communication, shipping, physical product – either met or exceeded my expectations. I do not enjoy actual shopping (versus window shopping) and placing online orders; too much vulnerability with the merchant taking my money first and then delivering on their promise later, too many middlemen in the process from ordering to communication to delivery, and too much hassle with customer support if there’s an issue with my order. But from the moment I received a message from the seller exactly 25 minutes after I received my confirmation email, I got a good feeling about my purchase.
Message with “Abby Z,” of StrikerCables (Dec 23)
Not a half-assed generic message like “Hello and thank you,” or “We’ve received your order.”
But a definitive and professional promise: I will get started on this tonight.
That’s excellent news. That’s especially excellent news for custom cables, because I’ve been lurking (Reddit, Discord, rumors), and lead times for many custom cable vendors are disgustingly long. I am a patient person, but not so patient as to wait two months or half a year for a freaking cable. Put on your seatbeats, peeps, here’s me throwing vendors under the bus:
YMMV, of course. I will acknowledge that most my sources are sample sizes of one, but one terrible account is enough for me to distrust a custom vendor. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I specifically went for StrikerCables’ custom cable listing because I wanted some particular options with my cable, and by sheer process-of-elimination, theirs was the only Etsy listing that met my criteria:
In terms of customizability, this particular custom cable listing offered a decent selection of colors, a very healthy selection of cable lengths, and more aviator connector options than I expected (GX12, GX16, and YC8). Here’s the setup I went for:
Well, that was easy. Surely no one’s surprised by now?
Exactly one week after I placed my order (Dec 30), the custom cable arrived in pristine condition.
Custom Double Sleeved Coiled Cable w/GX16 Aviator Connectors
That is the most genuinely pleasant smiley face I have ever gazed upon.

Coils are tight. Finishes are clean. Colors are sharp.
Eighty #391 + Custom Cable
All systems go!
Eighty #391 + Custom Cable + Danbos
I think Danbo enjoys it too.
Current Desk Setup - Top-Down Perspective
Do Danbos Dream of Boxy Sheep?
Need to remind myself to leave a glowing review on their product page. Too busy shilling, haven’t started on that yet.
Absolutely. Freaking. Flawless.
Do you know how many desks I have?!
This is going to be expensive lol.
…Oh no my hand slipped.
MelGeek Series Custom Cable from GeekCable
Lookit those connectors! Chonnnky!
Saw this on Etsy (also black + gold-ish colors reminded me of Den? ), but a little too late. Had already ordered mine from StrikerCables. Also, unsure about their customization options.
…Ships from China. One month delivery. Nevermind.
Den is once again saved by impatience.
I kinda need that keycap set tho.
I tried to ignore it, but I can’t.
Den-Fi’s GK64 Update!
With Halo Clears from Den’s Drop SHIFT!
Also I hear that halo-halo is bomb. Haven’t tried it before, though.
Halo Clear + Hako Royal Clear Switches - Visual Comparison
Top: Halo Clear Switch. Bottom: Hako Royal Clear.
Halo Clear has a MX-stem and a matte-like top housing, while the Hako Royal Clear has a BOX-stem and a clearer, more transparent top housing.

Can’t get over how sharp and clean the clicks are.

THAT’S WOT YER MOM SAID
Halo Clear Notes
More of my oddball switch preferences showing, as I kinda prefer the Halo Clears’ soft bump and muted thocks compared to the stock Hako Royal Clears’ sharp edge? But the stem wobble is a bit of an issue, and not something I can remedy easily, I think (switch films help for loose switch housings, but not for loose stems). Still, the Halo Clears are fine starter switches and a good fit for the Drop ALT/CTRL/SHIFT/ENTR – a light aperitif to wet one’s appetite for the keeb buffet.
If we’re going with the tapioca theme, I’d liken the Halo Clears to chewing on nata de coco (i.e. coconut jello)? There’s a slightly firm reistance before you bite into it, but after you get your teeth in, it squishes apart.
…Ugh, I’m drooling and I really really really want boba.
I think I may start equating all of my switch related experiences to food lol.
Danbo drew a thingy!
Uh, my Discord handle is there 'cos I was using this pic for role requests.
