Ah, gotcha. I'll have to read the product descriptions more thoroughly!

Thanks!

QMK is definitely on my requirement list after having read about it.

My biggest job right now is figuring out who is quality and who is slop. There's so many brands out there now.

Ok, now I want ceramics....

I have a feeling I'm going to end up with more than one keyboard.

[-] alehel@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Oh, that's a good thing to look out for when investigating possible purchases. My Azoth screen goes on at 100% every time I start it, so I have to go through the menu to disable it. Got old real quick.

Yeah, I'm currently spending a lot of time debating sizes in my head. I'm pretty sure at this point that 65% is what I want.

Wasn't familier with QMK, so that's a good tip. Do applied settings get remembered by the keyboard? That's my biggest issue with the Azoth, it forgets keybindings when there's a different computer connected.

Yeah, build was not the right term I see. If one buys a "base set", switches, key caps, and puts them together, what would one call that?

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 ๐Ÿ˜….

I'm not interesting in doing any soldering.

Wonder what age range you have to be in to get this ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜….

I just know that for decades people will check the git blame and curse my name.
