Title: I want to build my first 65% keyboard
Post by: Mercypuffs on Sat, 10 October 2020, 17:09:02

I want to build a 65% keyboard but I don't know what to get like what pcb, case, and plate.
Is there anything else that I'm missing let me know.
Thank you

I agree. Lol.

Look into kbdfans, they have reasonable quality for reasonable price.
