Ok thanks lol. Not cheap to get a custom built keyboard

price is the main advantage of mass-produced prebuilts.

custom built boards have their own advantages: it's much easier to build them with almost everything that you plan to have (switches, stabs, case, form factor, mods, etc.) you can also tweak as much as you want to make customs perfect for you. furthermore, the price actually depends on costs of each part, e.g. if you swapped the case with a generic plastic case, the costs will be lower.

Collected the Logitech G613 Lightspeed Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard  and G603  Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse.

The Keyboard is very nice built with High-Quality and fine textured plastic. Typing on it feels very nice and crisp. Romer-G switch is really nice to type with.
There's no wire, so my desk stays cluster free as before ( Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000 ). There's no fancy RGB LED backligthning ,
it's fine for me as i don't fancy those leds, kind of distracting in my ambient room.

The Mouse is very nice built with High-Quality and fine textured plastic for comfort grip. This is my first mechanical Gaming mouse featuring both wireless and Omron Switches.
Clicking on it feels super awesome and crisp and clicky. The scroll wheel is one piece thick rubber and hopefully won't degrade like my old Microsoft Wireless Mouse 2000. Also,
there's no fancy RGB lightning for this mouse too.

I never actually went to Low yat and other stores that display the keyboard and press all the keyboard since
Cherry Switch or Mechanical Keyboard introduced years ago.

This is my first time pressing it, and it feel totally awesome to type.
When i try my Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000.... a membrane type-keyboard, and i can say Mechanical Keyboard is the one i need now..
I won't ever go back to Membrane-keyboard anymore.

To be honest here, after adventure long time in mkb, you will go back to membrane (those cheap price keyboard).
Less generalise keyboard, you will be happier.

you should really do that first. usually it's important to find the switch type that you like the most.

however it's fine now because you like your new board haha that's all it matters.

about ditching membrane-like boards, hold that thought yet. maybe some days you will like capacitive switches, found in boards like topre and hhkb (springs + rubber dome sheets). they feel just like membrane boards, but the devils are in the details.

maybe this will happen. it's true that i will never know what i like at the much later stages of my mkb journey.

however, what i know for sure is this: for switches, i will stick to lubed red for a long time. i know it's cool to play with other switch types; and i like the vast varieties and choices. it's nice to play with different ones once in a while, but then i will go back to lubed red eventually.

Yes, for a branded mkb with dedicated multimedia control, definitely worth it.

yes luckily there are only a few of them now haha

for CIY boards, especially decent-quality CIY kits, i really hope there will be more. in terms of typing experience, they are filling up gaps between most prebuilts and conventional custom boards that require switch soldering effectively. they are good because they help beginners to learn and experience more about essential components of a mkb (e.g. switches, cases, plates, stabs, pcb), before they decide to build permanent customs with whatever combos that they need.

for now CIY boards are still at the early stages of the development cycle. (still have plenty of rooms for improvements, e.g. structural reinforcements, firmware) a nice thing to see is that adoption and user acceptance level are getting better in mkb community.

good prebuilts will always have their places in the market. instead of going blindly for brands, and ending up with a crappy product, users are more aware of options that they can have. a good prebuilt will always win.

key caps that i want are here now.

- pcb: gk64 pcb, firmware: 1.16;
- case: kbdfans 5-degree,black;
- plate: tina's plate, layout-a;
- switches: lubed cherry mx; numbers - silent red; alphas - red; modifiers and space bar - silent black;
- stabilizers: Chinese-made screw-in pcb-mount stabs;
- key caps: cherry profile dye-subbed pbt for gk64.
- mods applied: lubed switches; band-aid mod; lubed stabilizers.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


this concludes everything: my first ever custom gk64 built from a spare pcb, and it's very easy to assemble. for those who already have generic 60% cases, pcb-mount stabs, and switches, all you need are just gk64 pcb, and compatible top plate.

Yeah, quite risky because if one of the switches broke, it's considered DOA.
