I ended up buying the BM60EC and a wooden case (rosewood) to go with it.
Here are a couple of example builds of the board:
- BM60EC with Vilebloom keycaps by pedrorq on Reddit
Seems like it's a fun build. I like the spacing of the layout, and particularly the fact that there are no blockers or gaps in the layout, but it is a little strange that the switches are north facing on the PCB.

Keycaps
I don't have a set of caps, but I did buy a PMK grab bag a couple of years ago, so one option is to make a keyboard like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/896pz4/this_is_why_i_got_a_grab_bag/ - Gross.
If RAMA ever ships my Soya CAPS, I'll put them on instead.
Update: Purchased these SA caps from AliExpress in both Green, and Green/White colourways, and was thinking I could combine them to make something similar to Dasher/Dancer, which is one of the most sophisticated keycap sets I know.
The keycaps didn't quite turn out like I wanted.
Now I just need to find a good knob...
Knob Options (or knobtions, if you will)
The BM60EC comes with a stepped (not linear) infinitely spinning encoder, and looks similar to this encoder from LCSC
- Chapter 1 Copper Knob
- Was looking for wooden knobs, and found PickKnobs on ETSY that makes guitar and keyboard knobs out of interesting timbers. I could probably ask for a custom width of knob, as I think in the space, I'd need about a 16mm diameter knob, rather than 18.5mm.
- Eventually settled on this knob from SwedenKnobs on Etsy - looks very cool, and nice options for customisation.
Stabilisers
Durock V3 kit from Switchkeys. Tried Epsi mod and the stabilised keys sound nice.
End Result

More pics to come.
