This is keyboard #3 for me. I think I am finally there. Good feel with the Glorious Pandas (pre-lubed), good sound with a custom internal pad (poly-fill layers wrapped in tape and cut to size). Matching green metal knob from lovemyswitches (turns out knobs from guitar effects pedals fit well and come in a huge variety).

Anyway, I think I am done. My attention has been shifted to classic typewriters. I recently fell in love with the early 1970's Galaxie Twelve in Atomic Blue. (look it up, you too will be smitten). Now THAT is a mechanical keyboard!

This looks great, I have been tempted by the 9009 colourway but have not pulled the trigger on it yet. I really like the beige retro schemes. Did you buy this as a barebones board? If not, what was your thoughts on the KSA keycaps those Q Pro boards come with?

I did buy this barebones, but just before the pro was availabe in white, I bought the fully loaded Q6 (non pro) in dark grey. The keycaps were good! The grey one has since somehow found its way to my son's apartment, but I liked the stock keycaps.
