=======================================================
Keyboard: Monstargear Acrylic XO (80% TKL layout)
https://www.monstargears.com/51/?idx=278
Switches: Ethereal Pandas lubed w/205g0. I also thinly lubed the legs, cuz I'm evil. In all seriousness, I managed to get it thin enough that the tactility is still decent.

Stabs: Zeal Plate Mount Stabilizers (older better version) on Shift keys, Enter, and Backspace. Stock stabilizer w/Holee Mod on Spacebar cuz I ran out of Zeal stabs. All stabs are clipped and band-aid modded.
Keycaps: Artifact Bloom Rainbow, ZMKC Pocket Game Console Artisan (Pause), HolyOOPS Aluminum Novelty Keycap – Game Pad (Backspace)

Foam:
3mm black Neoprene + 1mm black EVA below PCB
2mm white EVA below plate
I cut the plate foam by myself, but I probably should have asked if someone could do a custom order.
Cable: KDBFans Colorful Handmade Custom Mechanical Keyboard USB-C Cable

Wristrest: Alopow Resin Wrist Rest

Other:
KBDFans Switch Pads (https://kbdfans.com/products/kbdfans-switches-pads-2-versions)
Reverse Tape Mod (1 layer)
I did the Tape Mod, but didn't want to put it directly on the PCB. Instead, I place the tape on the bottom foam because that foam is already pressed against the hotswap sockets to begin with.
=======================================================
0:00 WPM of a Turtle
I tried a Monkeytype test. Maybe I should have set it to alphas only to decrease the number of awkward pauses.
1:34 Modifiers
Yes, I used EK Switch Hitter to press mod keys.
