Hallo everyone, sharing my first board ever built. Finally deciding to get into the hobby after kena racun so many times by taehatypes, taekeyboards and Hipyotech on Youtube.

I have a thing for knobs and I know its a bit of a budget board, but I fell in love with the TM680 since I saw it on Reddit.

Anyways, here is my somewhat of a budget build:

TM680 Wired
Outemu Silent Greys + Lubed + Filmed
Stock Stabs (Came badly lubed, so had to re-lube)
Artisan Pokemon keycaps from Senikeycaps on IG

Overall, for my first board, I'm really happy. But I get what people are saying, once you start venturing down the rabbit hole, it's hard to turn back. Anyone have any recommendations for a budget 65 - 75% with a knob. GMMK Pro is on my list but it's a bit out of budget. Hahah. Hopefully, Cooler Master actually brings in the MK721. 65% with knob + bluetooth + 2.5Ghz. Very excited. Anyways, signing off for now. I shall continue to racun myself here on everyone else's build.

Thanks and stay safe!

Your TM680 looks good man. I just saw a soundtest that was super thocky.

Keydous NJ80
Opening the bottom looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

Or wait for Keychron to sell the Q1 with knob. Should give you plenty of time to self consume racun in the meantime.

Yeah. But with the silent greys, they sound super dense. Added some neoprene foam so that made the thocc super muted. But I do prefer that as I do intend to make this my daily driver (for now).

Saw the NJ80 as well, but a lot of sellers on Laz and Shopee are selling them at a much higher price. Fuhh RM500-700 for just the board alone? Wallet says cannot.

Oh yes, the Q1. Looking forward to that once it has the knob. I heard they are releasing the knob version in Oct according to HamajiNeo's vid. Keychron is not selling in groupbuys right? They are more for mass market?

Already thinking of what theme to do for my next board. Habis la, my wife is gonna flip out when she finds out I've started another new hobby that is bad for the wallet. Lul.
