Although I’m someone who always takes his hobbies to the extreme (my homelab rivals my employer’s server room, my bicycle is a tricked out carbon time trial etc.), I somehow managed to reach my endgame with only my second mechanical keeb (Idobao ID87 Crystal with Durock Shrimps). I just haven’t found the perfect keys yet, still have some MT3 sets in different colors I want to try.

You should try it. It feel really cool and lighter than I expected. I like the feel of cool aluminum, and it sounds really good to me. However, I am a total noob to keyboard building so what feel and sound good to me, might be really bad for some of the guys on this sub. I built this because it was fun and cool. I wouldn't be a good frame of reference.

I will be honest with you. I stopped counting after I passed $400 and I told my wife the keyboard cost $200 so she wouldn't kill me. If she found out how much my hobby cost, she would be super mad.

I'm still very early in my custom keeb journey, I've only built one board so far and already ordered a second one that I would hope the board itself would be my endgame. Switches will probably be something that is going to take time to figure out, I currently have tactile switches but my next board I'm going to try linear and go from there until I figure out what feels best to me. I'm not exactly super concerned with sound as before I was using razer clicky switches and basically any tactile or linear switch sounds so much better to me.
