After all that color matching they better get it right!

Wow. Impressive, are you able to see if you can scratch that material off and find any metal points to re solder on?

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.

I wanted to add many features that came disabled by default or were unaccessible within VIA, like more layers, auto shift, custom tapping toggle, caps world, combos and mouse support 😊.

I started building gameboy before I built keyboards, so I wanted to see if it was a gateway drug. I ended up building 5 different gbc and gbas.
Added rechargeable batteries upgraded the speaker on the GBC too and added a little amp. Was pretty fun times.

It’s a shame they charge so so sooooo much for the barebones versions. Cause I’d kill for a full-size PCB only.

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.

Aluminum key caps? Didn’t know that was a thing. How is it? Is it for feel? Sound? Both?

What did you use QMK for?
tukuiPat t1_je2f2tw wrote
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.

Reply to comment by j_tant in Ok but the K3 Pro looks really good with Nuphy’s keycaps by Sixthsomatic
I like the feel a lot more. It’s like they pancaked an XDA keycap, whereas the K3 Pros still have a bit of an angle to them. Just feels a little bit more roomy.

You can literarily see it from across the room. I cut a small pice of sticker and cover it...which helps a lot....

Hand-wiring is always an option.
Somebody on r/HandwiredKeyboards actually handwired an entire 96 a while back, converting it to ortho in the process, when their PCB died.
