im new and i need help for making my first mechanical keyboard

[l0g4n]

I found this keyboard on google and I fell in love .. made by b7ad
I want to do a same for me , but with different keycaps



I found a post on reddit which lists all the statistics and components used for this keyboard

case (full semi-clear)
PCB

Now come the doubts; maybe it's just because I'm Italian and I do not understand English but .. checking gon site I do not understand some things.




Controller SMD Parts Soldered refers to the USB port?
after buying pcb and case, you need to solder components such as diodes or resistors ? is required?

I want to understand all the steps required for the completion of this work.

checking components:

from gon


now I want to enlighten housing just like the picture of b7ad .. what switches i need to buy ?

and where can i buy keycaps like this?



many questions , I hope you can help me thanks

I'll try to answer to the best of my abilities:

• 'Controller SMD Parts Soldered' refers to the microcontroller that 'runs' the keyboard. I'm not entirely sure if the USB connector comes soldered on or not.
• Yes, it is required to solder in the diodes and resistors as without them the keyboard will not work.
• That list looks ok, although I suggest using a different keycap puller: the ones that are wire
• IIRC the PCB has the lights soldered in already, however in b7ad's picture there are no LEDs for the switches (none that I can see).
• Those keycaps are Hyperfuse DSA. Unfortunately you'll have to buy them from the community and are either rare and/or expensive.

If you want me to rephrase sentences for the translator, feel free to ask.
