minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up19·8か月前Don’t forget keycaps! It’s where the real money is lost. That set looks like GMK Blue Samurai, which sells new for $150.

minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8か月前True. I was mostly thinking about having to buy keycaps aftermarket when the prices double/triple and having to source all the different kits. Personally, I think I have three times as many keycap sets than I do keyboards.

However from my own experience building your own keyboard is fun especially when the result is as good as you expected from planning stage. Pure bliss. Hello fellow 2hu youkai
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8か月前Have you seen how metal keycaps are priced?
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8か月前Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.
minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8か月前You’re right. No shame there, but definitely knocks a $100 or more off the price.
minus-squareCrafter72@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·8か月前Keycaps is where I always avoid because that’s what makes keyboard standout other than the overall produced sound. Still saving for my keycaps sets
minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·8か月前I was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it’s still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.
