When last I worked in an office I had both an MX blue keyboard and a Model M. Less disruptive than using the copier or talking about last night’s episode of the Bachelor over the cube walls.

Go for it! Be aware that you need to solder for this kit. If you're brand new to soldering (like I was), watch a few youtube videos on how to solder and practice on some old PCBs around the house (I salvaged something from a rundown radio in my basement). What I regret most is not paying for their USB-C soldering service (3 bucks) and not reading the build guide before purchasing. The build itself isn't necessarily hard, I'd rate it a 5/10 on difficulty. (considering you're new to soldering) TLDR, highly recommend. 👍

True. I had a keyboard with Gateron Blue once and they're so bad. My brother took the same keyboard, but with Outemu Blue and it felt so much more tactile and solid, for 2/3rd of the price. With Gateron Blue you can literally feel the click mechanism working, it's not a good feeling. I feel scammed by all the keyboard related sites placing these in top 10.

That being said I'm not using them anymore and I would definitely not recommend. Just go with Outemu or pay more for BOX.
