I'm building a Glorious GMMK mechanical keyboard for a friend. I'm using Cherry MX Silent Red keyswitches with GMK QMX silencing clips just for that extra little bit of silencing. The GMMK features Kailh hot swap clips under the motherboard, so the keyswitches slot right in without any soldering. Oh and there's a lovely set of SA profile keycaps. Here's all the stuff featured:

PS I do realise the 'date of birth' for the keyboard is in the future, but that's when I'm handing it over
That little box hanging off the BBC keyboard is where the electronics live. I wasn't quite able to fit them in the case. Given enough free time and some boredom, I'll re-engineer it to fit inside. Oh and don't ask me where to get a case for the BBC keyboard - it took me years to find that one; they're very rare.
