My first keyboard build!
It's a special edition Font Awesome version of the Mode Sonnet. I did all the things: foam, extra weight, lube. Despite the fiddlyness, building this was surprisingly relaxing!
As a retro keyboard guy (Model M SSK as daily driver) I wasn't sure how this 75% layout would work for me, but it types really nice. It took me less than 17 second to get used to the arrow keys.
The keyboard kit was a gift from the team after having worked on the Font Awesome 7 release 💖
