Good lord, such a clean board! Thanks for blessing me on this Friday morning Alex! 😄

[@alexotos]

You're so welcome!

[@MeganErin]

Thanks again Alex, I can't wait to get this in and take pictures of it too! Just wish I had FF to put on it as well, some day!

[@GantioKeys]

Ngl, I'm going to actually build this one tomorrow with the exact config. Awesome!

[@BlackipinoGambino]

I still really want the aloe colorway so badly. this board is gorgeous

[@grantzu]

Glad u like the univers so much it’s a goated board

[@SlickSpingo]

Arc60 is such a nice board. I really want the Peacock colorway.

[@AnnieTrist]

I didn't know Boris from GoldenEye builds keyboards. Love the content! ❤

[@geraltschori4375]

Realy beautiful *.*

[@MJonair1206]

really need another round of gmk future funk!

[@gk5947]

I dm’ed the designer and he said they’re working on R2 right now 👀

[@ImOnMy116]

love my Arc60, wheww that purple is gorgeous!! Mine is a sort of off white, currently built plateless with L+F+broken in browns (and blacks on the mods). Really need to pick up some of these Machiatto switches!!

[@bren.r]

Have an arc60 plate less build with stock Zakus. Considering spring swapping to something lighter but figured strengthen my hands is easier than resoldering 😂

[@ImOnMy116]

@@bren.r hahaha, hey man, I can’t blame you! Desoldering is super tedious / time-consuming unless you have a desoldering gun. I bought a Pro’s Kit SS-331 for about $130 a year or so ago, and it was probably the best money I’ve spent since joining this hobby 4 years ago (specially if you regularly do soldered builds).

[@TheLastArchive]

Really hope the Arc60 gets another run

[@nickthaskater]

Plate fork doubles as a great jig for straight plateless builds.

[@Billy_The_Frog]

Everytime i watch one of your videos, i'm tempted to buy a new keyboard. And then i have to spend 10 mins convincing myself i don't need a 6th keyboard.

[@brocky]

3:06 to 3:17 was wildin

[@RandomKeebs]

Not exactly related to the build in todays VOD, but Univers is def my top keeb of 2024. It’s so mf gooood.

[@dashanyuan2403]

This board would go well with KKB Helleborus. Still beautiful anyway!

[@DKV230]

Hi, how can you paint your mouse like that. It look so nice. Is it a decal sticker that you applied or you paint it ?

[@swazy3130]

Did you do toothpick mod on cherry clip ins

[@kevinyh98]

Are these switches factory lubed? Or did you hand lube them yourself?

[@emotionalavocado2336]

:(will futurefunk ever come back

[@nathanlichtenberg]

first!

[@fnvfanMSPR]

I honestly disagree with plateless builds being crooked. It looks crooked because HMX switches absolutely suck for soldering.

[@mikokb]

Do they? Why is that? 😮

[@alexotos]

I mean, it depends on switches FOR SURE, but sometimes it's also the PCBs that have different tolerances. There are a lot of variables!

[@djchetcobra]

only did two boards with soldered HMX so far but I haven't had problems

[@GantioKeys]

A similar issue I had with Clouds too, having to test out different switches say from Gateron for instance has a better fitting.

[@fnvfanMSPR]

@@mikokb Because HMX switches have smaller plastic legs and smaller housings

[@HajjiNaki]

if only it was a 65% :/

[@shentobento1079]

nah

[@HajjiNaki]

@@shentobento1079 its my opinion stfu
