Group buy sadly ended quite a while ago, but a new one should be coming soon with new designs!

I love the corne boards. I put lubed Milky Yellows in mine and it's soooo smooth. And I just bought a second one that allows me to snap off the last column to make it more like a 30%.

I got mine soldered by kriscables.com. It was not fully built, the build service only includes soldering, so I had to assemble parts, but that was a relatively low-skill endeavor.
There are other vendors that offer similar services, and a bunch of etsy listings that offer pre-soldered lily58's. That being said, this will be relatively expensive, a barebones board (PCB + components + case + microcontrollers + labor) without switches, keycaps and cables will cost you like $200 at the very least.

Qwertykeys published its own build guide for the QK75, which is what I used when I built mine. I tried to post the link but the Auto Mod bot deleted my post. If you google "QK75 build guide" you can find it.

Wow that is a big step. best of luck! It's well worth it. You can always try remapping and not use the outer column but no rush on that end. Enjoy the board.

Thanks βΊοΈ
I buy all the piece for the board at littlekeyboards.com.
The boba U4 are just perfect for this build, cause I want it to be somewhat silent and feel great (which I was pleasantly surprise when I (didn't) hear them)
I'm coming from a 75%, its a big step and the 6x3 is just perfect for that. Maybe someday I'll made one with only a 5 column, who knows π

Beautiful board. Where did you source the pieces of the board? Boba U4 silents with a corne sounds perfect and exactly what I'm going to build next, might drop the outer column tho. I currently use a Ferris Sweep and you'd be surprised how annoying hitting those outer keys become once you've found a way to get around it

Just use youtube. But all kits should have a build guide created by the makers. Try asking for it on their discord or look on the GB sale site for a tutorial link.
Alexotos building the QK75. Not a full blown tutorial but you can see the steps taken and Alexotos does a good job explaining things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRI93NcYLDg&ab_channel=alexotos
The GOAT's switch lubing tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44Wv4OGdmu4&ab_channel=TaehaTypes
The GOATS stab tuning tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNx1_d0HbQ&ab_channel=TaehaTypes
It makes me sad realizing people just dont turn to the same goats of this hobby anymore. I feel like names like Alexotos and Taeha are being said less and less often which is a shame. They build this community and still have some of the best tutorials out there to learn with.

Ah, too bad you can't make the meetups!
And yeah, they aren't cheap boards, but we think they're worth it :)
