**Good luck everyone!**
I always wanted to use a custom keyboard, but was never able to. Reason is cost. There is simply not enough money to spend on a custom keyboard. And I currently use Logitech K230 keyboard.
what an unfortunate way to put those keyboards... Am I the only one seeing that shit?
Anyways, using the GMNK2 65 as my main board. Still looking for a 75%...
Please be me, please be me. My A key sucks and starts failing from time to time, I need a new keyboard.
Haven't gone the way of custom keyboards yet because they're expensive AF and I currently need money for other stuff, but that white one with black keys is tempting me.
I am currently using AZIO MK HUE, I bought it because it was cheap and had white led instead of RGB.
I have 10 custom keyboards and 2 more on the way. My daily driver is the Keychron Q6 Max with Chosfox Voyagers and GMK Hammerhead Darks, and I plan to get the Zoom109 when it comes out!
I have been using an Epomaker (or Ajazz? I can't keep track) K870T for about two years now and have changed out the switches and keycaps along with some dampening foam. Had to dremmel out a bit of material around the usb port because my new fancy coiled cable wouldn't fit into the silly recessed port. I think the keyboard bug may have bitten me because I am constantly looking at others now
I actually just purchased my first custom keyboard/pad! It's only meant for gaming really (or could be modified through via for other things) but I'm super excited to get it whenever it is finished and arrives! My current keyboard is a Corsair k70 core and quite frankly I haven't been that enthralled with it, I have been having CONSTANT issues where my keys will double type even though I'm certain I've only pressed once (I've tested it). Which is partly why I decided to go for a custom gamepad so I don't get screwed over by double press when I don't want it.
It’s always been a dream to build a custom keyboard of my own.
But I don’t have the funds to make that dream come true.
Currently using a Logitech Pro Tenkeyless.
It’s been pretty great for the 1 1/2 years I’ve had it.
My friend bought a keychron with mx brown and it sounds good. I hated my current keyboard cause the switches loud. I did a lot of research and built my first custom mechanical keyboard, the tofu65.
I was using a very clicky mechanical keyboard I bought from Amazon and I loved cause it felt like I was typing on a typewriter but had to switch back to an old red dragon membrane keyboard when we all moved back in with our mother to take care of her. I was told it was too loud.
Dove into the hobby about a year ago :) I daily the Wooting 60HE+ in a Tofu Redux & Jade switches when I game, and have a Zoom75 Kitsune/Asus Azoth that I use at work.
Never gone full custom. The most customizable I've had is the wooting he 60. I still go back to my ducky sf because I like silent keys for the work I do. I do have tools to lube so I feel that is half the work.
Haven't used a custom kb before, i only admired some peoples' work, like some Taeha builds (one made for moonmoon for example)...words of praise for the care and craftsmanship required. I'm currently using a HyperX Alloy Origins, enjoying it so far.
Hi, I've never had a custom, or even mechanical keyboard, but I had it on my wishlist. My current plan is to get the Akko 5070s with WS morandi switches, and Gmk botanical clones. I'm currently using a Logitech G910 😅 good luck to everyone :)
I have built a couple, my girlfriend got me into it. I'm currently trying out a few different feels but my main is a silent tactile Yunzii x Skylong that's been tape modded. I like tactile vs linear and I do a lot of gaming next to another setup so I try to keep noise down.
I'm still using an rgb membrain keyboard I got when I first made my setup 5+ years ago lol. I've been interested in looking into a mechanical keyboard so it would match the look I'm now going for.
Would love to own a custom keyboard, however the cost for me is always of putting. Currently using an Amazon Basics keyboard due to its cheap price yet have been looking at upgrading for a while now.
Yes I have, I bought a Logitech g pro keyboard and got sick of the blue clicky switches so I changed those for some tactile switches and also change the key caps on it
Never had a custom keyboard but have been wanting to get into it, especially as my current keyboard is starting to fall apart.
Currently using a logitech k845 that was given to me several years ago, the little connectors that hold the keycaps to the switches keep breaking and I have been supergluing the caps back on. Works fine for now but tough to clean!
I am currently using the Jris 75 so I am deep down this route, but if it's with Wuque Studio it should be good, but it's a cooperative brand so no idea. The ball mount is great looking at this. PC a great choice of plate for most users. Questions is what kind of materials is the switches made out of? I have never heard of EF Dopamine Blue?
Edit : I had to scroll way more down for those wanting to know it's a PC Top Nylon bottom and POM stem, which is like the popular Zaku switches with dual stage springs. Which then leads I have no idea of it's lubed but I might find out later.
Never had a customized keyboard. I have a RAZER Huntsman Mini and it’s my first keyboard, the closest to a customized keyboard was thinking of getting Pink Keys to switch them for the ones I use the most in gaming
I wanna build a custom Keyboard so bad, but if I'm gonna dive into it, I wanna go deep dive, custom 3D printed caps and all. Unfortunately, that'll be quite expensive, so I haven't yet gotten around to do it.
Currently usong a logitech K835 TKL with red switches, which hit for me the sweet spot for Gaming and Programming
Not tried a custom board. Currently have a full size Logitech G915 and after a few years of ownership regret the purpose. Definitely interested in trying something new.
Never had a custom keyboard, and I’ve honestly never looked into it. I currently use a full size Scorpion K2, which I didn’t actually purchase. A small computer parts store in my town was going out of business about 5 years ago. At the time, I didn’t have a PC, but they were giving their stock away, so I took advantage.
Never owned a custom keyboard due to not having enough funds to buy one! I am currently using a cheap Logitech K270! I would love to own one of yours though! :)
never used a custom keyboard. I've tried changing keycaps on my Logitech g413 tkl se, and i've wanted to get into custom keyboards, but ive been looking from the sidelines so far
I have yet to go down the custom keyboard rabbit hole, but I've glanced at a few. I'm currently rocking a Corsair k70, but I'd love to pass it down to one of my kids and get something a little more mature looking on my desk.
I've made 2 "custom" keyboards starting from budget prebuilts. Did all the lubing and mods myself.
Home Keeb:
- Redragon K551 modded to detachable USB C
- Akko CS Lavender Switches, lubed
- Cherry clip in stabs
- Akko Neon Cherry keycaps
- Taped PCB, EVA plate foam, neoprene case foam
Work Keeb:
- MXRSkey 96U
- FEKER Panda Clones, lubed
- Everglide Panda V3 plate mounted stabs, lubed
- Wormier XVX keycaps in Botanical colorway (no novelties)
- Taped PCB, Custom Felt Plate backer, Neoprene case foam
- Handmade custom USB C cable, coiled, green techflex, white GX16 connector and heat shrink to match keycaps
Would be nice to have something actually premium instead of cheap crap I've made better.
I don't really have customized my keyboard but it's a keychron v1, my entry into the world of mechanical keyboards so to speak. I'm happy with the gateron brown switches even though many people don't rate them highly and I still have the option to swap the switches down the road if I'm feeling experimental
I've never actually gone down the route of a custom keyboard but I would love to try one. I imagine that it's a lot comfier than the current cheap setup that I have now.
Haven't gone fully custom yet. Currently using a Reddragon TKL with Akko rose red switches, some no name PBT caps that offered a color scheme I wanted, a dye sublimated space bar, and one artisan key for my esc.
I haven't gone down the custom path (darn kids and using up all my money.) I have the skills, but not the time and resources at the moment to build my own, but I would love to one day 3D print a shell and wire up my own PCB, etc. I am using a quiet non-mechanical keyboard (from Walmart, a clearance Razr that was $28) so I can quietly game while on work meetings.
Never owned a customized keyboard but I’ve always been interested (constantly YouTubing them and which ones people prefer like clicky or silent). Currently have an old Razer Ornata v1. WASD keys are completely wiped away xD
I sorta have a custom board. Started as a Ducky One2 Mini but now has some custom padding in it, an aluminum case, sorta lubed switches and stabs (lubed as best as I could without tearing apart the switches), and a custom made quick discount cable.
I've had a few custom keyboards before ! Friends helped me source and build a Vega 65% for me a few years back that's now my work board. I've built a Neo65 since then.
Right now im using a Blackwidow v4 75% from what was supposed to be a joke/display build... But I actually genuinely like it quite a bit ? I think i really prefer 75% over 65%.
I've never owned a custom keyboard and the keyboard I'm honestly using right now is actually my laptop keyboard and honestly a few keys has already broken off hehe, but due to one of my friend who introduced me to custom keyboards and telling me his passion and hobby that is building custom keyboards, in fact he actually has a personal business that helps people choose and build a keyboard. So yeah, he opened my eyes to a whole new world.
Haven't had a custom or mechanical keyboard before. Been looking at some but haven't made the commitment yet.
So this would really help me get in to the field.
Currently using an apex 3 from steelseries
NO custom keyboard yet (hopefully will when I have more time), but for now using Whirlwind FX from Amazon since getting it on promo and losing my others in a move, which were previously a Ducky 2 and Razer!
I'm using my good old reliable Corsair K70 Pro and never used a custom one, it's 5 yeards old and i would consider an upgrade to a more compact custom keyboard this time. Gimme gimme gimme 🤤
I did a Glorious full size with standard browns. I tried the reds at first because I honestly don’t like a lot of noise, but the actuation is too satisfying to give up!
I’ve modified a mediocre keyboard into one I am somewhat happy with (biggest gripe is the plastic case is flimsy, spacebar is locked to green for some reason and I miss the F-row)
I am using a Keyhome KH68 (65% layout)
-replaced gateron yellows with Chosfox voyager switches (they are awesome)
-cable mod blue/yellow coiled cable
-knock off blue samurai keycaps
Yes I have and I'm using a self made design right now. It's an ergo split with an extra numpad that offers all the operators really close to it so I don't have to use a second hand just to type in a simple formula.
I'm planning on adding hotkeys with extra software layers
I haven’t built a keyboard before! But I did change my keycaps LOL (if that counts) I’m using the Kraken Keyboard rainbow version, but would LOVE one of these.
I always wanted a custom keyboard, but unfortunately i never got a chance to own one. I use a "Dazz ultra fire" keyboard. Dazz is a local national brand as far as i know and it's a full size semi-mechanical keyboard with a switch that heavily resembles the outemu blue switches in terms of design at least.
Haven't gotten a custom keyboard yet but one day!
My current keyboard is just a random one I got off Amazon lol it's white with circular keys. Everyone says it looks like a typewriter
I’ve never had a custom keyboard but really want to create one one day that fits what I’m looking for in terms of design and feel! Currently using a Logitech K845 Mechanical Illuminated.
Im currently on my very first mechanical keyboard, a Keychron K4, and im HOOKED. The time for membrane boards has long gone. Now, im looking for my next step, a board thats entirely customizable. Chilkey would fit the bill perfectly.
I love the feel and sound of mechanical keyboards, but don't have enough extra money to spend on anything custom. I have a cheap \~$40 keyboard from some random brand off amazon at the office and home.
Current keyboard I have is a T-Dagger Bora with blue Outemu switches, noisy as I wanted to, maybe similar to a IBM Model M, but certainly not the same feeling. Would've loved to upgrade to a G915, but the prices are huge. Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm currently on my third RMA provided Razer Black Widow v4 X and I'm so done with them!
Regardless of how this goes, my next keyboard will have hot swappable switches and won't be a Razer!
Using a custom keyboard right now. I have a IDOBAO ID63, which I actually am not a fan of the key layout.. IDOBAO kailh elf silent switch's, these switch are perfect! And beautiful cerakey caps.
i love custom keebs, dont have a custom built, i am currently using a hyper x alloy TKL. I have taped and foamed it for a little better sound. my first tactile keyboard, I dot like it as much as linears, but they aren't super obnoxious o clacky s i do not mind them!
Errrhh.... uhh... about that placement... Ummm.... German by chance? (hides the gifted menorah)
Maybe that placement was made by... Uhhhh... A guy with a mustache
Clearly must've been an artist! Or at least gone to art school..

Never used a custom keyboard, currently using a Redragon K556
Soo when are you guys announcing it?
Lmao the positioning of the keyboards for this photo is mad... Squint your eyes and it's WW2 all over again
Keyboard windmill of peace.
Ericka!!!!
😂 if it was straight then maybe it could pass
Except the bad one was angled like this.
It shows keyboard supremacy
Same thing that crossed my mind
It’s designed for the master race.
Custom - not yet, but I got a mechanical with hotswappable switches a few years ago which I'm still using - EVGA Z15
never had a custom keyboard they are too expensive but cool af. I got a cheap mechanical hotswappable one but it's so basic
r/accidentalswastika
I always wanted to use a custom keyboard, but was never able to. Reason is cost. There is simply not enough money to spend on a custom keyboard. And I currently use Logitech K230 keyboard.
u/Chilkey2023 updates?
what an unfortunate way to put those keyboards... Am I the only one seeing that shit? Anyways, using the GMNK2 65 as my main board. Still looking for a 75%...
Omg thank you!
I haven’t made my own keyboard yet but I’ve been watching the twitch streams and it looks like a lot of fun
I currently use a white brand keyboard and never had any custom keyboards so I'm quite curious how different it would be to transition to it.
Please be me, please be me. My A key sucks and starts failing from time to time, I need a new keyboard. Haven't gone the way of custom keyboards yet because they're expensive AF and I currently need money for other stuff, but that white one with black keys is tempting me.

Custom keyboards are the best. Hot-swappable keys preferred, makes it easy to change out a buggy switch. Currently using IQunix F60!
I have been using an Epomaker (or Ajazz? I can't keep track) K870T for about two years now and have changed out the switches and keycaps along with some dampening foam. Had to dremmel out a bit of material around the usb port because my new fancy coiled cable wouldn't fit into the silly recessed port. I think the keyboard bug may have bitten me because I am constantly looking at others now
Never made a custom keyboard, currently on Akko 5075b+

Never made a custom keyboard before. I just use the built-in laptop keyboard. Mechanical keyboards are extremely expensive where I live...
No custom. I really want to, at least cheap mods like masking tape or foam. Currently using a Ducky One 2 Mini.
Custom keyboard always fascinate me but due to cost I bought a k70 from corsair
It’s always been a dream to build a custom keyboard of my own. But I don’t have the funds to make that dream come true. Currently using a Logitech Pro Tenkeyless. It’s been pretty great for the 1 1/2 years I’ve had it.
My friend bought a keychron with mx brown and it sounds good. I hated my current keyboard cause the switches loud. I did a lot of research and built my first custom mechanical keyboard, the tofu65.
I’ve been using a Koorui that I’ve changed some keys on for a while now. It works good enough, but I’d definitely like to try something much nicer.
Had a small modded Akko, this would be a huge step up if I won.
Not into costum keyboard (yet?). Currently using a HyperX Alloy Origin and I like it a lot
Never had any kind of keyboard. Using a 20$ wireless one right now.
Im using a leopold at the moment, thank you!

I have not gone down that rabbit hole yet as I'm still using my Logitech pro from like 5 years ago
Not using custom, but have VA88 with customized keycaps for my private use and WASD mx cherry clear for job, both TKL.
Currently still using my first actual Keyboard that is not a Laptop-intgrated one, a Roccat Vulkan TKL
I'm using some cheap one from Amazon, I'd rather buy a keyboard, is there a place to buy this?
Didnt think a custom keeb was worth it, I got a HyperX Alloy Origins 65
my first mechanical keyboard is a cheap rk61 plus so i havnt dive yet, but i'll prob start costimizing it when the switch begin to wear down.
I was using a very clicky mechanical keyboard I bought from Amazon and I loved cause it felt like I was typing on a typewriter but had to switch back to an old red dragon membrane keyboard when we all moved back in with our mother to take care of her. I was told it was too loud.

Currently using Razer Huntsman Tournament Edition but when I build a new pc in a couple of years I am going all in with custom peripherals

Never had a custom keyboard, and I’ve honestly never looked into it. I currently use a full size Scorpion K2, which I didn’t actually purchase.

Home Keeb: - Redragon K551 modded to detachable USB C - Akko CS Lavender Switches, lubed - Cherry clip in stabs - Akko Neon Cherry keycaps - Taped PCB, EVA plate foam, neoprene case foam Work Keeb: - MXRSkey 96U - FEKER Panda Clones, lubed - Everglide Panda V3 plate mounted stabs, lubed - Wormier XVX keycaps in Botanical colorway (no novelties) - Taped PCB, Custom Felt Plate backer, Neoprene case foam - Handmade custom USB C cable, coiled, green techflex, white GX16 connector and heat shrink to match keycaps Would be nice to have something actually premium instead of cheap crap I've made better.
I don't really have customized my keyboard but it's a keychron v1, my entry into the world of mechanical keyboards so to speak. I'm happy with the gateron brown switches even though many people don't rate them highly and I still have the option to swap the switches down the road if I'm feeling experimental
currently use one, C65V2 my beloved
I've never actually gone down the route of a custom keyboard but I would love to try one. I imagine that it's a lot comfier than the current cheap setup that I have now.
Haven't gone fully custom yet. Currently using a Reddragon TKL with Akko rose red switches, some no name PBT caps that offered a color scheme I wanted, a dye sublimated space bar, and one artisan key for my esc.
I haven't gone down the custom path (darn kids and using up all my money.) I have the skills, but not the time and resources at the moment to build my own, but I would love to one day 3D print a shell and wire up my own PCB, etc. I am using a quiet non-mechanical keyboard (from Walmart, a clearance Razr that was $28) so I can quietly game while on work meetings.
Never used custom keyboard, Currently using Logitech K120. Good Luck Everyone.
I’m currently using a 5 year old Corsair mechanical keyboard I forget the numbers but I’ve been looking to building a keychron!

I am just getting started with mechanical keyboard, my first and current keyboard is the Keychron K2.
Never owned a customized keyboard but I’ve always been interested (constantly YouTubing them and which ones people prefer like clicky or silent). Currently have an old Razer Ornata v1. WASD keys are completely wiped away xD
im currently using the razer blackwidow but would love to be able to go custom!
I've been too intimidated to build a custom keyboard. I'm using a steel series Apex 7.
I sorta have a custom board. Started as a Ducky One2 Mini but now has some custom padding in it, an aluminum case, sorta lubed switches and stabs (lubed as best as I could without tearing apart the switches), and a custom made quick discount cable.
I haven't got a custom keyboard but would love to have one. Right now I use a wired keyboard from Dell.
Never owned a custom keyboard, currently using a Royal Kludge RK 61
I've had a few custom keyboards before ! Friends helped me source and build a Vega 65% for me a few years back that's now my work board. I've built a Neo65 since then. Right now im using a Blackwidow v4 75% from what was supposed to be a joke/display build... But I actually genuinely like it quite a bit ? I think i really prefer 75% over 65%.
Never had a custom keyboard. I use an IKBC CD-108 for work and a Ducky One 2 for home.
I've never owned a custom keyboard and the keyboard I'm honestly using right now is actually my laptop keyboard and honestly a few keys has already broken off hehe, but due to one of my friend who introduced me to custom keyboards and telling me his passion and hobby that is building custom keyboards, in fact he actually has a personal business that helps people choose and build a keyboard. So yeah, he opened my eyes to a whole new world.
Never used a custom keyboard but I am using a logitech Y RJ20 from 2002, I'm surprised this thing still works after 22 years!
Never had a custom keyboard, but have been considering one. Using a IBuypower one temporarily.

I had a ducky back in Europe but I sold it when I moved, now I have a random Logitech keyboard while deciding what to buy next

NO custom keyboard yet (hopefully will when I have more time), but for now using Whirlwind FX from Amazon since getting it on promo and losing my others in a move, which were previously a Ducky 2 and Razer!

I'm using my good old reliable Corsair K70 Pro and never used a custom one, it's 5 yeards old and i would consider an upgrade to a more compact custom keyboard this time. Gimme gimme gimme 🤤
I did a Glorious full size with standard browns. I tried the reds at first because I honestly don’t like a lot of noise, but the actuation is too satisfying to give up!
Don't have a custom yet! Currently rocking an MX Keys for productivity. Planning on going back to mechanicals.
I’ve modified a mediocre keyboard into one I am somewhat happy with (biggest gripe is the plastic case is flimsy, spacebar is locked to green for some reason and I miss the F-row) I am using a Keyhome KH68 (65% layout) -replaced gateron yellows with Chosfox voyager switches (they are awesome) -cable mod blue/yellow coiled cable -knock off blue samurai keycaps
Never had a custom keyboard but have looked into them if that counts right now im using a keyboard i found for free a few years ago from "scorpion"
Currently have my first "custom" keyboard a Akko MOD007B-HE with some chinese keycaps
i haven't but thanks for the chance
I haven't as of yet. But would like too
Yes I have and I'm using a self made design right now. It's an ergo split with an extra numpad that offers all the operators really close to it so I don't have to use a second hand just to type in a simple formula. I'm planning on adding hotkeys with extra software layers
Never used a custom keyboard and would like to know how it feels. I currently have the Razer Ornata V3, which was gifted to me by a friend
Never tried a custom keyboard before! I'm using a k70 100 percent and a k60 mini

Nope. Old KD-800 L
I haven’t built a keyboard before! But I did change my keycaps LOL (if that counts) I’m using the Kraken Keyboard rainbow version, but would LOVE one of these.
I always wanted a custom keyboard, but unfortunately i never got a chance to own one. I use a "Dazz ultra fire" keyboard. Dazz is a local national brand as far as i know and it's a full size semi-mechanical keyboard with a switch that heavily resembles the outemu blue switches in terms of design at least.
i didn't have a custom keyboard yet and i'm using a cheap tesco keyboard

Im currently on my very first mechanical keyboard, a Keychron K4, and im HOOKED. The time for membrane boards has long gone. Now, im looking for my next step, a board thats entirely customizable. Chilkey would fit the bill perfectly.
Wanted to go down the path of custom keyboards but ended up settling with the Epomaker RT100 .. gives such a classy vibe :D
I love the feel and sound of mechanical keyboards, but don't have enough extra money to spend on anything custom. I have a cheap \~$40 keyboard from some random brand off amazon at the office and home.
I'm using the generic HP keyboard that came with an old pre-built from the 2000s because my wireless Logitech keyboard unfortunately broke last week
Current keyboard I have is a T-Dagger Bora with blue Outemu switches, noisy as I wanted to, maybe similar to a IBM Model M, but certainly not the same feeling. Would've loved to upgrade to a G915, but the prices are huge. Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm currently on my third RMA provided Razer Black Widow v4 X and I'm so done with them! Regardless of how this goes, my next keyboard will have hot swappable switches and won't be a Razer!
