One of my favorite hobbies is keyboard building, as I've posted about in the past. However, my favorite part of it isn't having the most expensive board or anything like that, it's having a cheap board and making it sound/feel expensive.
Now, the board I'm showing here today isn't exactly one of my cheapest. This is a GMK67 ($64.99) with Candy Shop PBT Keycaps ($55.99) from Kinetic Labs and Gateron Luciola Linear Switches ($67.50 for 90) also from Kinetic Labs. Not "cheap" by many standards, but those in this hobby can tell you...that's a steal.
I haven't used this keyboard for a while and just picked it back up today, it's still incredible. I'm not normally one to like 65% boards, but this one feels so nice that I can ignore my displeasure.
When building a keyboard, don't be afraid to buy yourself a tester and figure out what you like in terms of switch weight and sound. You won't regret it.
