Welcome back to nearlucid.
Today we’ll be looking at the Blueberry, a seamless 65% from a new designer, Toffee
Studio.
The board will go for $379 dollars, including a polycarbonate plate and PCB.
While this included PCB is solder only, this board is compatible with a few other 65% PCBs,
including the KBD67 and Savage65.
Aside from the color choices, you do have the option for a polycarbonate bottom, which
helps show off that gamer RGB and might also affect the sound, so we’ll test it as well.
We also get decent layout support with the included PCB, including everything shown here.
For some reason this board doesn’t include feet or feet cutouts, so I just slapped on
some leftovers I had.
I recommend doing the same, so you don’t risk scratching up the bottom.
Let's get to the build.
The entire assembly process from foam config to software is outlined in the assembly guide,
found at assembly dot toffee studio dot com.
I’ve got TX Stabs in here lubed with 205g0 and BDZ.
On top goes the plate foam.
This is missing some cuts to accommodate the stabilizers, and I had to manually tear these
out.
After that goes the POM plate.
I’m going to do something a bit bold and solder in stock switches.
These are DD linears, which are smooth and loud long poles.
Its a little hard to solder around the LEDs and USBC port, but overall the process went
smoothly.
Now that the inner assembly is done, we can get back to the case.
I’m going to unscrew the case screws and get to installing the gaskets.
Blueberry comes with different top and bottom gaskets.
The bottom gaskets are much thicker than the top, allowing for more flex.
With the gaskets installed, we can place the inner assembly inside,
Reinstall the case screws, And on top goes GMK Thinkcaps.
