Скачать или смотреть I Built My First Custom Mechanical Keyboard!

I finally built my first custom mechanical keyboard that I plan to use in my day-to-day job as a software engineer for coding.

I have not built it from scratch however, mainly due to the lack of experience, but also because it was a lot cheaper this way :)

I used an affordable Redragon keyboard as a base, and changed the switches as well as the keycaps. I also added some foam, tape and band-aid, plus lubed the stabilizers.

The overall cost was around €100-€120.
