Oof that’s rough. Keep an eye on AliExpress if time isn’t a concern.

I got everything else from AliExpress but the Keycaps + shipping + shipping times (when I ordered these) made me look to other sites. It doesn’t always work, but if you add stuff to your cart and walk away, sellers sometimes send you really good discounts.

Yeah, that’s how my son prefers the setup (he’s currently on Windows but loves my Mac gear). If he switches OS’s at some point and we keep this keyboard, we’ll make the adjustment.

I would, but my son is using this with his Windows computer and is used to the layout. If it were for me, I would definitely put them in the correct order. If he moves to macOS we’ll make the adjustment.

Oof, I paid about half of that for these- I put them in my cart and left them there for a while until I got the coupon incentive from the seller. I would have bought them through AliExpress too, but the shipping time and cost redirected me to Etsy to try my luck.

It’s a decent no soldering, plug and play keyboard.
Pros:
- Easy to assemble out of the box (hot swappable)
- Very affordable
- Fun colors
- the stock stabilizers are surprisingly great
- Dongle + storage spot for the dongle
Cons:
- Hollow sound (easily fixed if you don’t like the sound
- No wired option
- AAA Batteries required

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.

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

Whoa! I love the look of this. Would you mind messaging me the link to this? I tried the searches recommended in the comments but no luck finding this :/

This turned out great, well done! I really like the random caution block below the space bar.
