So this is my first board I'm building from the ground up like this, never worked before with ps2avrGB. Luckily, I found a nice guide (

So if this is pretty much the board I'm getting, the only purchases I NEED are...
- ~70 Switches (Possibly going with Mod-M switches)
- Keycaps (GMK Hydro already coming. )
- USB Cable (custom Hydro cable also incoming)
The RGB underglow is already a soldered part of the board and the top side supports LEDs for the switches, but just simple, single-colored, 2-pin LEDs. Some OPTIONAL expenses are:
- LEDs (2-pin single-colored ones, 1.8mm size preferred)
- SIP sockets (easier LED swapping)
Am I missing anything else? I've got all my tried and true soldering equipment and basic tools already at hand so I guess the only thing left to find is some dedicated time to make all this happen in April! And if anyone has recommendations for those LEDs and SIP sockets and where to buy them, I'm all ears.
