Title: hello new member here im in trouble
Post by: keokio on Fri, 14 August 2020, 23:24:03

hello, so it started with some videos on youtube about building some custom keyboards since I've always had this in the back of my mind.  I watched a video where someone built a custom keyboard and gawked when he mentioned he paid $180 for just Keycaps!  Thats more than my entire keyboard! well, couple days later i got in on a group buy with a 6month lead time and paid $160 for Keycaps! im on keyboard layout editor planning on a custom 60% layout making sure all the keys fit.. lol im in trouble...

Welcome! I have way too many keycaps, so I had to put a moratorium on buying any more. My suggestion is not to buy keycaps unless you have a keyboard for them to go on first!
