To encourage more posts, here is my daily driver

Zoom65 EE with case and PCB foam
GMK WoB
AEBoards Naevies V2 stock

This is my sixth keyboard (fourth custom). The experience has been extremely good considering the mostly stock setup.

Though I am going to stick with this for a while, I do know my next will be a split ergo. Do share your suggestions for a wireless split ergo.

Tight, I like it!
Volume knob in the top right corner?
- Yep. Rotating the encoder knob controls the volume, while pressing it toggles play/pause.
Very clean!
- Thank you. I was aiming for a clean and minimal aesthetic with the setup.
  
  I plan to post my entire desk setup on a relevant community. I am not sure if there is a community yet to share desk setups similar to the battlestation subreddit.
  
  Have you found any battlestation subs on lemmy or kbin yet?
i've got a split ortho keyboard called corne (you can check my post history for assembly and final result pics), and for a split ergonomic keyboard i'd strongly recommend going for a wireless version (if available) and i wouldn't recommend ortho layout unless you're super committed (if you ever type on smth like a laptop, switch back and forth between ortho and non-ortho is a huge pain, while switching between split and non-split is perfectly fine)
Love the wood wrist rest
Ooh, that's clean!

What's the '00' key for? Layer or just two zeroes?
- Thanks.
  
  Yes, I do use it to switch layers.
  
  Having said that, it would be pretty fun if it just inserted two zeroes. :D
That is a thing of beauty.
- Indeed! Thank you.
  
  Please do share your setup!
  
  I use a laptop with the stock keyboard. Which I realise is probably sacrilegious here.
Forgot to mention the two accessories in the picture.

Orca’s wooden wrist rest

Zambumon’s hexagon desk pad
- Thank you for this! I was going to ask about your palm rest.
  
  No problem. Glad I could help, and induce some engagement within the community. :-)
  
  Look forward to a post of your setup/experience with the hobby.
- Yeah, those are doing some heavy lifting for the aesthetic here.
  
  I remember looking for a wrist rest a bit back, but it was hard to find something that was a combination of:
  
  Affordable
  
  Real wood (not epoxy)
  
  Didn't scream it's branding
  
  This one is real sleek.
  
  Real wood and absence of/minimal branding is what I was looking for too for the aesthetic I was aiming.
  
  I can say the wood’s finishing has aged really well over the three or so years of use.
That wrist rest is amazing! I mean, obviously the keeb is nice, but that wrist rest...
- Haha. I agree. Orca’s wrist rest elevates even the most boring setups.
  
  I agree! Right now, I have an old 80s computer drawer, which I use for my monitor and the keyboard. It's definitely not "pretty", but I love the antique look. I'll try to post a picture later.
Any info on the wrist wrest? Does it warp at all?
- I have mentioned about the wrist rest in another comment of mine here. I bought it on Etsy.
  
  As for your other question, I have not noticed any warping in the board in my 3 years of use.
