Post by: ilytze on Mon, 20 April 2020, 12:19:41

Hi guys, just registered and I enjoyed checking out those cool mod keyboards.
I am from Malaysia.

so far I see all the custom keyboards are so expensive...  :-X
Hope can learn from forum and one day close eyes just buy and build my own custom keyboard.

It means Interest Check meaning OP is checking the interest value in the _____ he's trying to setup a group buy (GB) for.

Welcome to Geekhack ilytze. You don't need to spend a fortune to assemble a keyboard, and you don't need to assemble one to begin with if you don't want to. There are plenty of affordable keyboards that can be modified how you like, and there are more and more switch variations being offered in cheap OEM boards as time goes on as well.

Thanks Maledicted for the welcoming words.
Yes I owned a couple of mechanical keyboards, but feel like working a custom ones as a project.
So many switches that I have not tried before :)
