Title: Need help finding a good keyboard kit
Post by: ConfusedNickYung on Fri, 21 February 2020, 05:17:45

Hi guys, i'm new to custom keyboards and all that. I'm looking for a TKL, aluminum body keyboard kit. Do you guys have any recommendations? Some of the ones that interest me are: Kyuu, Keycult no.1/2, Matrix 1.2og. Thanks.

Keep in mind those are extremely expensive. I would not spend more than 200 dollars on a keyboard of my own.
This product from Monstargears, a Korean company, is a sandwich mount and should give you a good enough experience for less money.

The only thing people don't like is the placement of the USB-C. I don't mind since I'm not looking at it most of the time. Nitpicking. :)

I like that one, but it's sold out!
