So I have been looking into many different routes for a custom keyboard. I have a very specific set of requirements I'm trying to satisfy, and a (probably ENTIRELY too small) budget I'm trying to keep to. For example: My perfect keyboard must have TRUE RGB. It must have keycaps with a legible font that I can use until I can buy some PBT Pudding caps. It must be full-size, or begrudgingly TKL if I have literally no other choice. And it must be clicky (white, blue, or green switches) so that I can still enjoy it until the project is complete. Now, in my research, I came across the VAST selection of Hot-Swappable keyboards available on Amazon. Lo and behold, I find this keyboard...
https://amzn.to/2K8BXgtNow, this keyboard ticks all the boxes, but it would seem that the manufacturers (or at least the marketplace sellers, as they are likely just using an OEM keyboard) are adamant that the keyboard does not accept any switch except MX and their clones, such as Gateron or Outemu. So herein lies my question. Does anyone own this keyboard? And of those who do, have you ever managed to successfully swap in Kailh Box switches? I have fallen desperately in love with the sound of Kailh Box Jade Thick Clicks, and I am looking to complete this project under $100 US. Starting with a functional keyboard that meets all my requirements (save for the Box Jades) at $50 will be the thing that makes this project, or breaks it.
Now, alternatively, if you can't say you have this keyboard, or you are unsure whether I can use Kailh Box switches, I'd love to know if there is another inexpensive solution out there. I'm just so tired, honestly, of my options being limited to 60% (kill me now) or single color backlight, if any at all. I will gratefully accept ANY help you guys can give me.
Also first post here, so don't grill me too hard.
