This is what the custom keyboard hobby should be like for the majority of people, instead of $300 kits that you'll have to wait 6 months to get

@ConsumerTechReview 2 года назад

I agree. Also a lot of times it's way more fun trying to make a board sound super different than just getting a case that you barely need to do anything to!

I picked one of these up as a secondary keyboard for work, Its incredibly good, I have done the foam, tape and added some wheel weights to make it more heavy and less hollow. All lubed stabs and switches make this board lovely to use for long periods of time. I have also added an internal 2500mAh battery and USB charging port to mine to make it easier to charge up.
