Title: Endgame Clicky Keyboard? Amtelco KB163 with Chosfox Arctic Fox switches!

Engame Clicky Keyboard?
Making the Ultimate Clicky keyboard with the Amtelco KB163 vintage keyboard and Chosfox Arctic Fox switches!
The original keyboard was coming with Cherry MX Black switches and it was pretty satisfying to type on! But I wanted something special, and I think the case of this keyboard is perfect for clicky switches!

Awesome project. Love the board and how chonky it is. If I ever plan on using vintage blacks and actually harvesting them, I may do this and replace the switches just so the board doesn't go to waste (I want to use vint switches in boards but always feel bad about the amount of waste that harvesting usually brings) . I feel like replacing the switches like this would especially work well with a dolch-pac keyboard if you don't like the blues.

Don't worry! I keep these switches for some other project! Never waste anything old! :) Thank you!!
