Top 5 Budget DIY Custom Mechanical Keyboard Kits Under $100

anything with a snap case is a no-go for me.

Do you have a seperate video on the mk870? I'd love to watch an in depth video.

what are the keycaps on number 1 ?

Mechanical keyboards are different, not better, but everyone acts like they are.

wut best

"Gasket mounted boards are not better, they are cool, but they're different. They're not better."
That's not what you said on the CIY GAS68 video... you clearly stated, with no hint at sarcasm, that gasket is better.
You really do just puke videos out and say whatever is in your head, don't you?

To Germany it costs 50 dollars shipping 😭

You have the numbers in the video clips backwards from the description

The TM680 is literally identical to the Gamakay LK67 in every way. same design, same case, same knob, same everything. so im a little confused about that. not sure if there are any differences hardware wise but aesthetically it is the exact same keyboard

what switches did you use with the number 3 tester 68 ?

Noob here! I bought a pre-customized blue-switch keyboard about a few months ago, though I've been using mechanical keyboards last year since my partner bought me one.

And let me tell you that your videos are a godsend! I plan to build my own keyboard in the coming months, and doing a lot of research on what I should use.

I've seen a bunch of videos from different content creators, and yours are some of the most useful! Thank you so much for what you do!

does anyone know if any of these can work for ps4 and if so which ones

👍

Hi i love your vids, im asking if the switches and the keykaps come with the kit or you got them on their own and if you got it on its own please put links for the place where you bought them because i love them. Thank you for putting effort into makeing these videos, Keep up the good work.

I'ma 75% lover, but it's damn expensive...

I started with the tester 68 for both me and my friend :/

where are the amazon links ?

R u buying Switches and keycaps with the Kits?

ASMR on keyboard 😝😇

May I know what keycaps profile and switches u used for number 2 IK75? Thanks

Are there more keyboards where the case is RGB? I never thought of that, always thought it was just keys and some were just better/ stronger lighting, when in fact its the case lighting up. Knowing this, i would like to find a case with RGB, switch key caps, and a coiled cable plus blue keys (but not a top priority). With wanting these things are there any other keyboards i should look at our is this list my best bet? Thanks for any recommendations you guys can provide!

how much is the num 4 keyboard

Thank you for your recommendation. I really love keyboard no.2 look that you built. Could you please provide me what switch and keycap you use? Thank you very much.

And my Feker IK75 just arrived this morning 😁 can't wait to mod it 😁

Hello it really helped which one do you prefer?

I'm so glad I found your channel when I started getting into the mechanical keyboard hobby. A lot of other channels are clearly geared towards those already deep into the hobby who are willing to spend the big bucks so I love that you put such an emphasis on budget side of things, showing that you can get really solid stuff well under $100. I bought the Tester68 as my first build and I can't wait to get started on it!

what about the th66/th80?

What are the key caps on the Number 2 board

Do these work for PS4 to?

Are they all hotswap

Almost all of my dream boards are in this list. I really wish that I could mod one of the boards in this video.

Maybe a dump question but do these keyboards come with key cabs

thanks for the list. are any of them available in ISO layouts? what determines if sth. can be in ISO layout? the pcb? the plate? both? sorry for the beginner question.

I wanna build my first board and I am looking for an affordable 75%, hotswap kit, ideally with a knob. So far people are recommending Keychron Q3 ISO Barebone or the GMMK equivalent, but maybe there are some cheaper options? Sth. like the Akko kits looks promising, but I am not able to tell if there are ISO options.

Do you have any recommendations for non-backlit keyboards? I'm looking to build a budget 65% or 75% keeb for the office and don't really care about RGB or backlighting, which usually makes PCBs more expensive.

Is this best to worst

what about the th80 diy kit, is it the same as the feker one

What is the absolute best keyboard that’s 65% has great rgb and has the cable on the left side like where the gk61 is and is hot swappable? Under 70 dollars or just at 70 dollars?

Guys, I need help! Hyperx Alloy Core Red TKL or Royal Kludge rk84?

hey consumer please review the gas67
it would be a pleasure if u did

Hey man i only got 41 dollar rn what should i get??

you are a blessing for putting international amazon links

Please review akko 3084b plus and acr pro 75 and compare them with pc75b. Can't wait to find out which is better.

Wanna ask a question. What is kailh hotswap, and what switches fit in it, and also how does it compare with outemu hotswap? I was thinking about getting the tecware phantom 87 (outemu hotswap) or phantom elite 87 (kailh hotswap)? Which is better?

Slick as always! Love ya guy!!

How about reviewing akko 3084b plus?

Would you recommend feker ik75 or akko pc75 b?

Really appreciate this tops compiling the reviews.
