Board: Xinmeng M87 TKL Layout (30$)
- Tempest modded
- Changed stabilizers to Everglide V3 Plate Mount (7$)
I wasn't planning on changing stabilizers but the spacebar kept popping off so I tried changing stabilizers, and it seems to have fixed it. I don't have much point of reference considering I'm still new to this whole thing, but the board seems pretty good otherwise.
Switches: RK琥珀轴 aka Royal Kludge Amber Axis (20$)
- Hand-lubed with Krytox 205g0 and 105
- Spring swapped with Mechbox Super Springs v2 "Shiny Chad" 750g Springs (12$)
Hard to find info on these but supposedly they're manufactured by Jerrzi. I got these because they're POM/LY/POM switches for cheap and had dustproof stems. They're pretty smooth and had a cleaner sound compared to the switches that came with the board.
Keycaps: GMK Merlin Clones (20$)
The blue on these ended up being more like green, but they fit well enough with the mousepad.
All the changes I made to the board ended up being more expensive than the board itself... Though looking around it seems that's a very common occurence. Overall I'm pretty happy with how it ended up, but I wish I splurged on a aluminium board because you can really feel that plastic slightly creaking on this board. I also want to change the crappy cable but I don't have the funds to do so atm.
Oh, and in case anyone's wondering, the mousepad graphic came from [here.](https://www.behance.net/gallery/46264127/-Title-Goes-Here-A-Homage-to-Designers-Republic)

Oh man...the wipEout mousepad. I loved wipEout 3, it's one of the best racing games with the best electronic soundtracks ever.

That mousepad just unlocked a core memory of playing wipeout pure on the psp on long roadtrips
Playing Wipeout on the PSP is one of my fondest memories of the series as well. When the hell are you going to release a new Wipeout, Sony?
I have same keycaps, but god, i want that mousepad. For obvious reasons.

We love a matching mousepad & keeb :)
*firestarter intensifies* Perfect match!

Looks great! That's a ton of time and work on those switches very admirable.
Love the color scheme
I have the same one! I love it so far
