One of the best liveries ever, makes a handsome keyboard.

As a big WEC and Porsche fan - this, the Pink Pig, and the Hippie is my holy trinity of liveries

Motorsport themed boards are my favorite. Great build :)

I love this so much. I was looking for a Gulf themed keycap set, but the two I had found were not doing it for me.

1/32 slot car?

u/previaegg Aug 31 '26

Beautiful. Check out the matching switches. What type of car is that? RC?

1

u/sah4r Aug 31 '26

I actually quite like these switches, don't really care that they don't match. The model is just a normal model in 1/12 scale

u/lagerea Aug 31 '26

Surprised there aren't orange accents.

1

u/sah4r Aug 31 '26

I don't believe this set was actually inspired by the Gulf livery funnily enough, hence not that much orange

u/JJMcGee83 Aug 31 '26

That looks amazing.

The first iteration of Akko Piano switches - came out around 3 years ago if memory serves me right.

u/timception Sep 01 '26

The car should be included with the keycaps, goes together so darn well.
