One of my absolute favorite boards in my collection; Please join me for the original build of my Cruel World CW88 F13 TKL mechanical keyboard. I build it with a polycarbonate plate, Gateron UHMKNOWN switches, and TX AP Long Pole Stabilizers, topping it with GMK Space Cadet II one of my all time favorite sets.

In the soundtests at the end I compare the three hardness of gasket available for the board.
