What components are needed to assemble a mechanical keyboard? Can I modify pre-built boards?

First off, sorry for the broad question; noob here. I've had an interest in mechanical keyboards for some time and always enjoyed a good DIY project. It's my understanding that you need Case (60% or Full) PCB Plate (optional - by build) Swit...

Mech Keys•GMK SNES Keycap Set

It is not about the material alone, it is the design of the part and its application, in this particular case the molds allow very thick walls and the contoured design of the key caps and their low and contoured profile make them a very good typing surface with a better typing experience than most other key caps available, the double shot process is one of the best ways to make the legends that will never wear off. As we all know mechanical...

Almost halfway through shipping, the warehouse has this drop prioritized, yay! There haven't been any backorders (missing keyboards, components, etc) and although the warehouse has been a bit overloaded this week, shipments have been going out at normal pace for us. If a particular participant haven't gotten his/hers shipping notification he/she will receive it shortly - those are the latest news I have.

Mech Keys•Infinity x GMK 3Run 60% Keyboard Kit

> Since cheaper keyboards exist elsewhere, it doesn't matter that this is unique and unavailable elsewhere, it is a ripoff, Massdrop is evil, and anyone who buys it is stupid. By your logic I assume you must live on Dollar Menu meals because even though Whole Foods sells food, cheaper food is available elsewhere (in this example, McDonald's). Whole Foods is a evil ripoff and anyone who buy food there is stupid. It doesn't matter that Whole...

Mech Keys•What Is Your Biggest Keyboard Regret?

I'll explain, as long as you realize I would never presume to speak for all keyboard/piano players: The alphanumeric keyboards I grew up with had light action, as do electronic music keyboards without weighted (or semi-weighted) keys. Acoustic piano action ranges from moderately light to quite heavy. I grew up playing on an Emerson baby grand with action so stiff that it seemed to prevent one friend of mine from even trotting out Bach's...
