    another switch option anyone trying to emulate a build like this could try out are akko cs rose red switches, theyre fairly smooth (my batch was around the same feel as gat yellows) and are pink so they will match the keycap set, they are also ridiculously cheap coming in at about 30c a switch (abt the same as the feker milky greens). hope this helped anyone trying to decide on what switch to use for their budget build!

    I have $200 invested into a GK61 optical. Foam under the board - Krytox 205 g0 lubed Gateron optical blacks - Zeal gold plated stabs - Razer shine through PBT caps. The end result is incredible. Worth every penny. My fav. part of the board has to be the Zeal plate mound stabs. So crisp and precise even without lube, but mine are lubed with a bit with Krytox 205 g0. Now all other stabs pale in comparison for me.

    I have this board actually. It, some Gateron blacks, and Matrix Keycaps were my Christmas present. It has me hooked on the hobby. I actually took the day to work on the stabs. Trust me, these stabs are pretty bad if you leave them factory. I clipped, and band aid modded them, and they are LOADS better. Aside from the 2 stab housings that have broken on me. Good thing the split space bar comes with 2 extra sets. I'm gonna say, it's not bad, but the NK61 might be (probably is actually) the better choice.

    3 months later and there are probably 20 to 30 bootleg sets always available on bg and Ali. Its obvious, but as long as original sets are as expensive as they are, fake ones will become more and more common. It might be wise for designers to occasionally do cheaper quality sets along with the standard gmk/epbt sets. This way, there would be no reason for bootleggers to even bother. Designer clothes companies do this all the time and make “tiers” of products to expand their accessibility!

    Plz review Akko CS switches as as budget switch. They are very cheap and they sound and feel better than Gateron Yellows (In my opinion). I have an rk61 which I modded heavily and hotswapped the switches for akko cs rose reds and they are very unknown, and I think they are great and I want to get your opinion on them for they are very cheap (10$ for 45 switches).
    If you do review these switches, there are a lot but he ones I am talking about are the Akko CS Rose Reds, the Akko CS Matcha Greens, and the Akko CS Ocean Blues. They all are great and feel and sound amazing from what I have heard, but the only ones that I have tested personally are the rose reds.

    @hipyo tech If your teaching people how to build their on custom keyboard, Why would you encourage them to return the keyboard if the usb c connector comes off? i feel like you should encourage it soldering it back on.... Idk just some food for thought.

    Do i need to lube them and do i have to open the keyboard to dim the sound a bit? And is there a big Difference between the lubed version with the sound dimming version or the clean version without doing anything?

    Is this PCB the same one the Anne Pro 2 uses? The case looks exactly the same without the branding

    Lol I bought a normal sk61 and I filled it with some like 25mm foam that compressed really well so it worked great
