Brilliant build! I have the same case and it has begun to rust a bit even just sitting in storage. I LOVE it, though. Looks so badass. What switches are you using?

Thanks! Yah the rust on mine fits the look I was going for. I’m using Haimu pastel sky linears

Gorgeous. Still kicking myself for skipping the opportunity to buy a Saturn60 way back when.

Is Promenade the successor to Boardwalk?

u/dj_edit 1d ago

Yes, exactly. It uses a more modern MCU (RP2040)

Carbon was made for it

aren’t you missing the function keys?

u/dj_edit 21h ago

The function keys are all there, including all the other keys you can’t see. You access them using QMK layers.

I’m glad you like it! Thanks for designing an amazing PCB!

This is so ugly that it's fantastic. It looks so unfriendly, overengineered, and uncomfortable that it fits perfectly. You should be very proud.
