  I got it through the GMK Amethyst group buy, but it is a pretty generic pattern so there are probably a bunch like it out there.
context: AND a purple 3D printer! Omg this is amazing! >
  
  I may have a bit of a purple problem... >
  
  Haha no way! I would LOVE that setup! 
  Maybe in a white desk to make it pop more >
  
  I tend to agree. I got into woodworking during the pandemic and built the desk before I even knew about the rabbit hole that is mechanical keyboards. I could re-finish the top with a white stain but that would take away from the character of the ambrosia maple. Just couldn't bring myself to do it. >
  
  Oh damn you made it? Good job. It (also) looks very nice >
  
  Those colors look great together! I'm a big fan of purple myself. And that stormtrooper pen holder is awesome! >
  
  Thanks! It was one of the first things I printed on my 3D printer and one of my favorites. >
  
  Usually not a big fan of purple but you have nailed it with this combo. Well done! >
  
  Looks great. Happy for you. I see the keychron logo on that rest. Is that no longer available? Just purchased a v10 and didn’t see that option when buying. >
  
  Ah, Thank you! I searched palm rest and it sure as heck didn’t ahow up.
  Cheers! >
  
  That purple aesthetic is amazing! Welcome to the Q10 club! >
  
  Keychron makes great keyboards!  I'm honestly surprised at their quality for the price. >
  
  how much did the recoating process cost? and what color did you originally get? >
  
  What pens are those? >
  
  They are fountain pens from a company called Kaweco.  My wife bought them both from a local shop as gifts but judging from their site the lighter one has been discontinued but you can still get the darker purple one. I quite like them. >
  
  Never used a split keyboard. 
  Are they more comfortable? >
  
  I find them very comfortable to use but I also have carpal tunnel so an ergonomic layout is pretty much required for me. I've been switching between a YDMK Split 64 (completely chopped in half \~60% keyboard) and a YDMK Wings (Alice style like this one) for the last year and a half before upgrading to this one. 
  The completely split one was the easiest to get used to as the button placement matched a standard keyboard, just with your hands at different physical locations. 
  The Alice layout was more work to get used to but I found it to be more comfortable and easy to use once used it long enough. Plus I just like how it looks better than a standard keyboard. >
  
  Stunning setup & accessories! What kind of mouse are you using? >
  
  Thanks! It's a Steel Series Aerox 3. Functionally it's a fantastic mouse but it's the only part of the setup I wish I had gotten in a different color. The "Royal" purple it was marketed as doesn't quite match the color on the site but I can't complain too much considering how hard it is to find a good quality mouse in purple. >
  
  Gengar's desktop. >
  
  Gosh, the purple is so good 💜 >
  
  FP enjoyer by any chance? Is that a Kaweko? >
  
  Indeed they are! Only have a few FPs so far but those are my favorite. >
  
  Get some kind of audophipe to match your ser up (or maybe I didn't see them), and I think some of the folks over at r/mechanicalheadpens would appriciate this! >
  
  Well that's an incredibly specific subreddit, but I can absolutely see a lot of people enjoying all three of those things. I do have a pair of Bose 700 headphones hanging from a mount on the side of the desk although I wouldn't exactly call those audiophile level headphones. They mostly just do a good job at blocking out the noise from the kids while I'm working.   
  I also think if I picked up another expensive hobby my wife might leave me lol >
  
  Looks so cool!… the little sell laptop looks… less cool. Sorry >
  
  haha no worries, it's my work computer so I've gotta live with it. There's a three monitor setup above it that which hooks up to both my desktop and work laptop, so the keyboard isn't wasted just on the dinky laptop. >
  
  Amazing!! 
  The desk mat seems familiar, what is it?
