![]() You can decide on the keycaps you want at any point, since you’ll very likely end up with MX-style switches so don’t fret too much about that. This comes from a very good guide provided by switchandclick. Here’s a nice little comparison table between the two main types of plastics that keycaps are made from. KeycapsĪssuming you aren’t also making your own keycaps from scratch (which you can do), there are some pretty quick factors you can look at during the search for your desired aesthetic. Thus, you should decide which of these features you want to end up in your build before you get designing.

This guide assumes a generally high comfort-level with technology and a desire to learn. If you’re someone who has garnered enough interest in modern mechanical keyboards to want to build your own with a high degree of thoroughness and control but don’t necessarily have the domain knowledge to just jump right in, then you’ve come to the right place. ![]() For those looking to do the least amount of work possible while maximizing ownership ![]()
