Reply to comment by DingoFar6605 in My son’s first custom keyboard by olderbutcromulent

It’s a really easy build (he’s 10 so we wanted to start with the basics) - Tester68, HolyPandas, & Retro Keycaps

You’re an awesome parent. 10 year old me would be ecstatic over being able to build this. Thank you for the resources to make my own 😁

Absolutely! The Keycaps were the most expensive part of this build but it took less than 30 mins for everything. We’re going to revisit it after he’s used to it and determine if we need to add foam, tape mod, lube switches, etc — the stock stabilizers are surprisingly great for such a basic, budget board.

For future reference, I’d avoid buying keycap sets from Etsy as the vast majority are dropshipped and sold for 2-3x the original price!

This set is about 1/2 the cost on average on aliexpress, but the board looks sleek and if I were your son, I’d be stoked 👌🏻👌🏻
