Finally built a keyboard with my ideal 60% layout

Been thinking of doing this for over a year and finally got round to it. Found parts. Spent hours soldering, lubricating, stuffing with foam and programming QMK. So happy with the final result. It's a joy to use.
Gateron yellow switches. YMDK PCB, backplate and case. Ali Express keycaps.
It's a budget build and none of this is high end......but it has still worked out really well.
Good choice on the Gateron Yellows! They're really lovely switches, especially for the price.
I switched from always using browns. Liked reds to start with but now I'm really happy with having linears with slightly more resistance. Highly recommended. Might not be the best switches out there, but they're cheap and readily available.
