Just ordered a corsair k70 with cherry mx reds to replace my old k55 membrane one. Not too happy with the quality of it, feels cheap and makes a horrid noise. Think I will send it back and build my own mechanical keyboard do you guys have any tips cheers

    My tip would be to start with a Keychron or Akko. Keychron has 3 series of boards, essentially; K, V, and Q. You want V or Q.

    Otherwise get ready to spend $300-500. And if you do, realise that you can multiply that by 5-10 before you feel you’ve explored the “basic” options of custom mechanical keyboards, and probably multiply it by 20 before you’re done.

    Personally my daily driver is an HHKB Pro2.
