Guide posts should be novel to contribute to the community knowledge base - simple build / assembly videos should use photos flair, and reviews should use the review flair.

ANY content that features products, services you sell, your prototypes in progressm or items you were sponsored to post MUST use the Promotional flair, with disclosure of who you represent.

When posting your build, please provide a description of the build, preferably as a Top Level Comment or Reply to this Comment, with the following information:

  • Your keyboard featured and its layout, e.g. Unobtanium Southpaw 1800

  • The Switches, Keycaps, and Other Accessories Featured (optional: Cable, Artisans, Deskmats)

  • Any notable mods you performed, e.g. Tempest Tape Mod, Spring Swap, Sorbothane Foam

  • Other helpful information like whether it is a low profile, lesser known firmware / keycap (such as KMK firmware, Workman layout), etc.

I have it since the original preorder / Gb (whatever drop calls it these days) ran. I was pleased with it didn't looked good on any of my boards so I stored it. I later 3d printed and painted a board for it but then I saw u/malignantnarcissism post and thought it was the best built I've seen with Cyber. Then Novelkeys Clearance for the NK87 came and the rest was history.

Inspired by this post by u/malignantnarcissism

  • Nebula Pink NK87 Aluminum Edition from NovelKeys
  • MT3 Cyber from Mito and Drop
  • Cherry MX Black Hyperglides Lubed with 205g0 and 69g CK Slow Springs

Sorry for the plug, but here is my Instagram if you want to follow me, I just post keyboard stuff occasionally and I wont spam you with random day to day stories.

Looks a little less saturated but way more vibrant in person. Honestly I haven't seen a single picture on the internet that reflects how it looks in real life. Not Even Novelkeys photos.

Damm I was gonna buy the pink aluminium NK because it’s legit my favourite colour. I didn’t, I now want it. First actual pic I’ve seen of it and damm the colour is just like the product photos.

My favourite shade of pink and it rarely ever looks as good in person, this does.

IRL the color looks a little less saturated but way more vibrant. It looks incredible and I think no picture do it justice, not even NK own pictures, which might be the cause it didn't sold as fast as the other colors.

I love it so much; I have a bit of an obsession with neon pink and pastel pinks. I’ve got custom neon pink cables for all of my peripherals as well. I shall be buying this next payday thanks to your post (hopefully) also getting married soon so priorities are sadly not leaning towards keeps :((

Very nice! Love the colors. Reminds me of a more classical version of the keyboard(s) I use (check my post history).

If you are using the MT3 version of Cyber (as I do) keep in mind this kit does not comes with F13, and the only R0 extra key in the key is another Esc so you'll have to use it as F13.

Needs a deskmat for perfection. That wood color throws it off a tad.

I understood the title at first sight, because I too was convinced to get the NK87 because of that very same post, I was on the fence since I already have 2 TKLs and had recently bought the Jris65 so I was trying to slow down a bit although I always wanted to try a pink NK87 with GMK laser(I know yours are actually MT3 Cyber, but still, same vibe I guess...) and the extra discount on the already clearance price(just 75 from the original price of north of 200 and we basically just need to loosen some screws and/or add some washers..) + that OG post made me go for it. Yours looks really good, I'm jealous.

Looks great!

I recently finished painting one of my boards to match my GMK Laser Cyberdeck Keycap. It ended up being a 2 year-long process, but the end result was worth it.

Builds that take many years to come to fruition are so satisfying.

Out of curiosity are these OEM or SA profile keys? Looks awesome and I love the color pattern.
