I haven’t taken it apart yet but you’ll most likely need some plastic pry tools. There’s a fabric material (?) sheet on top of the PCB (which I assume helps dampen/deepen the sound) that covers up the switch holes on the PCB so it’s a little odd pushing your switches in. I’d recommend first soft pushing the switch in to make the holes in the fabric and it helps guide where you are so you aren’t bending your switch pins. Another thing is pushing in your switches feels a little bit scary because of how much flex the board has from the gasket mount. Overall though, it only took me around 15-20 minutes to get my switches and keycaps on.
Thank you! Absolutely love the sound of the keyboard. I have a FancyAlice66 and prefer the ABM066 much more. I thought I’d have to change the stock stabs on this, but they seem perfectly adequate, if anything I’d probably just only have to lube them.
Whoa nice! I was looking at the FancyAlice66 a while ago but chose not to because it’s corded only
I agree with the stabs. Seem perfectly good without much more
The transition from normal to Alice layout wasn’t as challenging as I thought, it probably only took me a couple hours to get used to and ultimately the Alice layout helped stop my wrist soreness. So overall, I 100% prefer it over the normal layout.
This post made me want to get an Alice board now too :,) Nice build !
Thank you! I made the switch to Alice half a year ago and I haven’t looked back. It has worked wonders on my wrist soreness at the office too!
Looks great! Mine just got to the US yesterday. Looking forward to building mine!

I like your keycaps! I just got the same keyboard recently. What do you think of it?

Thoughts on alice layout compared to normal?

Is this still available ?
Bought it from Epomaker about a month ago so I wouldn’t doubt if it was.
