i done this twice, i bought 2cherry 8000k's (or something like that) disconnected all the solder joints, wire soldered it all, and put both of them in a ms ergo 4k case that i customed. in the end i got exactly what i wanted, all for less than 30bucks, just a lot of learning and work, my second build i spent more for "aesthetics" and such tho. (oh i also repurposed an old ps2 controller, from a logitech)
my build logs has the price list for both projects, i don't know where my build logs went tho, prolly in the archive diy.
*edit*
found one of them, put it in my sig and it was a g80-8200 for both, i did the usual ebay dive for em 20 to 30bucks, horrible case but nice brown switches.
