minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 个月前True. I was mostly thinking about having to buy keycaps aftermarket when the prices double/triple and having to source all the different kits. Personally, I think I have three times as many keycap sets than I do keyboards.

However from my own experience building your own keyboard is fun especially when the result is as good as you expected from planning stage. Pure bliss. Hello fellow 2hu youkai

minus-squarekamen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 个月前Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.
minus-squarederfunkatron@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 个月前You’re right. No shame there, but definitely knocks a $100 or more off the price.
