Things you wish you know when starting out. (lemmy.zip)

I've had a ROG Azoth (don't judge) keyboard for about a year now. Been using it for both programming and gaming, and I really like it, but there are a few issues (software being the obvious one). So I've decided it's time to put together my own keyboard. I started watching some YouTube and yeah.... I'm out of my depth here.

So I was wondering if maybe people could share things they wish they knew when starting out so I don't mess up to badly.

I've already found this switch tester which I figured would give me a general idea of what kind of switches might be for me. Other than that, I'm not really sure how to proceed 😅.

I'm not interesting in doing any soldering.

I'm sad to say best way to find the ones close to you will be your local keeb discord, as painfulas discord is. UK it's limited to prototypist meet ups or the main UK discord.

Yeah sadly so much of the keeb space is locked within
