Based on what I've read, a lot of people who get WKL do it for the aesthetic, mainly.

I've had plenty of opportunities to get a WKL keyboard but always opt for WK (or HHKB layouts for 60%s). I work and game with Windows so I really get mileage out of it.

Thank you so much!

I got the Alu plate and so far I'm really liking it! IMO it's really the perfect middle ground if you don't want your board to sound too high pitched like with a brass plate for example, or too low pitched as with a POM plate.

I hope you enjoy building yours as much as I enjoyed building mine!

Thank you so much!

I paid a total of ~585CAD for everything (taxes and shipping/custom fees included) so that would be around ~440USD. It's definitely not cheap, but I'm so deep in the rabbit hole that I don't even think it's that expensive.

My cheapest board is a pre-built one that I modded and it cost me around 350CAD and the most expensive one I own (or I should say will own, as most of the components were from GBs that are still in production) is set to cost me ~1200CAD.

Needless to say I think I might have problem lol
