deskthority

I've been wanting to build a keyboard for a while now since i'm tired of changing between keyboards so much just to find that I don't like them.

I know that I want something small since my current TKL is too big for my desk, and I know that I want heavier switches than what I currently have. I think that Kailh box heavy dark yellow's will be good for me. I also know that I want to have a hotswappable PCB since I can guarantee that in the future I will want to change switches again.

I put together a list of the parts that I have chosen so far and was wondering if they will all be compatible, since its quite hard to tell. I also need to pick out a case but I have been having trouble finding one that would be compatible. I also need to try to find a keycap set that will fit the theme and is relatively inexpensive, I would also like to try out SA profile.

This is what I have came up with so far:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Kailh-B ... 3c00w7qJSM #

(I'm trying to keep this as cheap as possible so that's why i'm purchasing off of AliExpress)



So, what i'm asking is, are these parts compatible? And would someone be able to recommend me a case a keycap set?

Thanks in advance.

Try kbdfans.cn, they have good prices and lots of stuff.

Get a hotswap KBD67 from Kbdfans. They have a good reputation.

Those parts should work. I'd recommend getting a Tai-Hao doubleshot keycap set.

If you don't mind using outemu black switches, you could consider these. They are extremely cheap at 10 for around 1 usd.

EDIT:
you could lube them with this cheap lube off aliexpress:

Though I probably would get some more expensive lube for something more premium.
