Uy curious lang ako, sino dito ang nag-build na sariling mechanical keyboard? Yung tipong binili mo separate na PCB, switches, keycaps, plate — tapos ikaw mismo naglodge at nag-solder (or hot-swap lang).

Nagkikita kasi ako ng mga build sa online at ang gaganda ng mga custom boards. Yung mga Group Buy sa Geekhack at Drop, parang nakaka-engganyo tuloy mag-try. Pero ang mahal pala niya kapag sinuma mo lahat — case pa lang, switches, stabilizers, keycaps set, dami mo na mabibili na budget board.

Yung sa akin, nag-start lang sa TKL na hot-swap, tapos na-curious ako sa ibang switch feel. Ngayon naka-Gateron Pro na ako, PBT keycaps, at foam modded yung case. Malaki na difference sa sound at typing feel compared sa stock. Yun nga lang, naging hobby na — every month may gustong bagong i-try na switch o keycap set haha.

Ano setup niyo? Yung mga naka-custom build, san kayo usually bumibili ng parts? May alam ba kayong local shops na mabibili yung mga switches at keycaps na hindi sobrang mahal? Share naman kayo ng experience niyo!

If enthusiast ka as always, worth itz. Pag hindi Id say just get a hotswappable prebuilt. Saves you the hassle
