Another "First Custom": Neo80 Cu

This is my first keyboard that really feels special, and I have another to build yet as well. (Same model, different plate options.)

I went with the Mont Blanc upper case color and the copper base and weight - I know... boring. But hey... it's sitting on it. It's not like it's visible.

I went with Swagkeys Knight v4 stabilizers, Gazzew Boba U4T v2 Silent Tactile switches - I've tried all three spring rates and these are the 68gm, my new favorite - and the keycaps are an MTNU profile called "R&D 1973", which are just a hair warmer on the gray colors than the ones in Modern Dolch light. (I also have those keycaps, which I'll use on the Silver keyboard. The slightly warm or brownish gray on these darker keys works quite well with Mont Blanc, which wasn't the case with the Modern Dolch.)

I set this up with the PEI plate and silicone gaskets. The first time I assembled it, I incorrectly installed the two little side feet that contact the left and right edges of the PCB. The small nub needs to aim up.

In any case, this is just an amazing product! I don't want to stop typing. At \~10.4 lbs, it is \*solid\* in every sense.

I hope to enjoy this for years to come.
