    Log how to turn a game console into an SFF PC - or - the fastest APU build to date

    The back looks livable imo, if anything they aren't quite low enough/centered. Front is disappointing because it's so damn close, like 2mm. Case looks great, I can imagine how annoying it is to be that close. I've done that more times than I care to count when 3D printing stuff 😂😂😂

    "SFF" Keyboards

    Perhaps it's because they are lubed, but Outemu Brown on my Drevo Calibur seem to have a more pronounced bump. The films help with key wobble between the top and bottom halves. Some switches don't need it. For example the Gateron Milk Brown switches I got on my 1UP pad were very tight with no...

    "SFF" Keyboards

    So my kbdfans order came in yesterday and between last night and during the day today, I was able to assemble my keyboard. And I think I am in typing love. Lubed and filmed all the switches and lubed and clipped the stabs. Foam between the PCB and case. My previous posted PBT keycaps from Mistel...

    Log My K39/Velka 3 inspired custom SFF case design. (noob design)

    I did a similar design but a little bigger as I used an SFX PSU and 120mm fans The link to the whole thread is in my signature if you want some ideas on how things might fit at a larger scale.

    "SFF" Keyboards

    My grab bag came yesterday and I got a decent haul. Missing a few keys but enough to get by, and they gave me a ton of blanks as well. Only downside was that the spacebars were 7u only 😔 I fit my current keyboard with some SA profile keycaps to test out that profile and see if I like it. Most of...

    "SFF" Keyboards

    Love the Ursa colors. I just ordered a grab bag off pimpmykeyboard so I'm excited to see what I get. Also ordered a Super16 diy macro kit from 1UP keyboards. Oh and a St. Jude's novelty key from Drop 😬. Should probably stop now before the wife questions me too much 😅😅😅

    "SFF" Keyboards

    They also have this less expensive option in the 65% layout. Also a hotswap PCB. Need switches and keycaps like the 60% option above https://kbdfans.com/collections/65-diy-kit/products/kbd67lite?variant=34375192510603 I went with a 65% because I preferred a few extra keys that I use...

    Accessory Mechanical keyboard as a gift

    This depends on a lot of factors. What size keyboard does he want? What kind of switches? RGB or no? Wired or wireless? What kind of case? There is a huge long thread with lots of info already in here: https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/sff-keyboards.713/ The cost will vary wildly...

    "SFF" Keyboards

    Yeah it's not a complete set like GMK or anything, but it does come with the smaller shift, split spacebars, and 1u FN, ALT, CTRL keys, stepped caps lock, and a couple others for 65% format. Which is kind of rare I've found for a set this inexpensive. It has the keys I needed so definitely worth...

    "SFF" Keyboards

    After scrounging the internet to find a decently priced keycap set that I could live with until I found what I really wanted, I found something on Amazon that had glowing reviews and was pretty inexpensive. They arrived yesterday and I have to say, the reviews were not lying. For the price, they...
