Reply to comment by SlashdotDiggReddit in Finished my first ever mechanical keyboard build! The KBDCraft Kit Adam! Amazing since the case is made of LEGOs! by Reddit_newguy24
Yes I did but I ended up pressing the switches down harder into the board and it seemed to have fixed it.

Definitely very deep sounding because of the 1.6mm of thickness in the housings. The spacebar especially sounds very thunkey.

Because it is the best, no debate. And it is not like other ‘premium' options are available within short period of times. You’d have to wait for a Ferrari as well and would get a Fiat at every corner.

And boy am I glad I did it. I wasn't expecting the weight it's got - feels more premium than any other keyboard I've used!
Right now it's got Gateron browns, but I've also got some extra Keychron K Pro browns and Gateron G Pro browns (included with the board since I got it on eBay).
I'm gonna give it a shot with these three sets of switches, but I think my next step will be foam and/or tape modding, and finding a new set of keycaps. If I get lucky I'll find the iqunix hitchhiker set for a little cheaper on eBay, or I might custom design a Buzz Lightyear themed set like I saw hipyotech do on YouTube.
I'd love to hear y'all's recs for mods, macros, or anything else!

That was my first thought too when I saw that picture. The whole point for me to get a TKL and now an 80% was to narrow the gap between my left hand on the keyboard and right on the mouse.

thanks Ill take a look. I usually like straight cables with aviator or LEMO connectors the most so those would add a bit more character to those cables haha.

God I love the colors on this set, but I want them in another profile other than Cherry/OEM. My dream is a MT3 or XDA set

It's just a feature of that specific keyboard (Drop Alt) - welcome to the hobby!

That's also not that hard pantone is literally made for this very purpose and everyone is using it for overseas manufacturing. You order your plastic in pantone xy and since they are looking on the same standard you will get exactly what you asked for. They are also an established business I dont think they still struggle with things like finding a supplier who can make a specified color

There are similar ones on AliExpress, although they're not quite as nice. The search is kind of broken though, so you might be looking for a while. Maybe search for "usb connector shell" or something similar.

Because they were produced in Germany for one, labor is treated well there.
The other big reason is too much demand from designers and vendors for one manufacturer: GMK.
GMK won’t say no to a customer’s order, they just put it in the queue. So something that takes over two years to deliver is not being worked on all those two years, most of that time is just waiting in the queue for earlier orders to be finished. If designers and vendors went with other manufacturers and GMK queue was clear then a GMK run could be done in a few months, which was possible back in 2015-17.
GMK has invested in more molding machines and new robotic sorting, so queue times and fulfillment times overall from GMK should decrease. As long as demand doesn’t increase to meet new production capacity …
