Oh boy, don't get me started on mech... With 6 of them and they keysets, I'm spending waaayyy too much on plastic 😄

Building one is really fun. And not as hard as it looks. Suggestion would be to found a already made PCB. Way easier and you won't have to fight with the firmware. You can check on KBDfans, they have quite the choice and are totally reliable 👍

For the switch color, I'd suggest you to check on the Purple Zealios also.

But, be careful, once you start that hobby, that's it, you're done...

Yeah I know is an expensive hobby lol. I really want to go through the whole process from scratch, but yeah for me the ymdk 96 pcb is almost what I want.

I'll try to order a switch tester for gateron and zelios to test them out. I really enjoy the cherry browns and clicky whites.
