Hello!
« on: Wed, 19 June 2019, 20:29:45 »
Hey everyone!

Just dove down the rabbit hole of custom keyboards and am finding tons of new stuff daily. Really excited to start my first project which will be a full custom.

Looking forward to getting into the community!

Looking at going for a 60 or 65%

Based on what's available (or soon to be) I'm thinking of jumping on a Fjell Classic and a Zeal 60 PCB. Undecided on keys and caps. Just bought a switch tester and plan on testing the typical Cherry line up and then some of the other vendors switches. Not sure on which caps to get but am liking a lot of the GMK ones I see. Maybe Oblivion or if the GB takes off, GMK Dracula.

Seems like I got into this too late to jump on any TGR 910's or Zeal Zephyr's though. I really like both of those 65% layouts.

You could probably track down a Zephyr on Mech Market. A 910 would be quite a bit harder to get at this point.

....and right you are! I was able to snag a mint Zephyr on r/mm and am speaking with someone regarding a 910 however, there is a little ding on the 910 which is holding me back right now. Am also looking at the No. 1/65 but those seem even more rare....

Great suggestions, thanks.
