That looks rather good for semi-temporary!

Sweet! Good light in that location. What keyboard is that?

My 2nd Filco is falling apart and my go-to keyboard is no longer made. I'm on the lookout.

Thanks, there are two big windows in the room so getting a lot of natural light which is awesome but also requires a super bright screen

The keyboard is a custom built QK65 with Alpaca V2 L+F linear switches and Cherry Notion keycaps. It's my first mechanical keyboard ever. Went deep in with the first one and probably will stop here (unlike audio lol)

That looks like work, but those are some mighty clean pins. Here's the lazy man's approach:

The G5 is more of a conditioner than a cleaner, although it works great if the pins aren't in terrible shape. For the really cruddy/oxidized ones, the full strength D100 is my favorite elixir. Brush it on, let it sit for 5+ minutes, then hit it with the Dremel. Like @jonathan c , I follow that with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue.

While you’re Head-Fi housekeeping, clean out your insides with this from a can……
