I’ve had a ROG Azoth (don’t judge) keyboard for about a year now. Been using it for both programming and gaming, and I really like it, but there are a few issues (software being the obvious one). So I’ve decided it’s time to put together my own keyboard. I started watching some YouTube and yeah… I’m out of my depth here.
So I was wondering if maybe people could share things they wish they knew when starting out so I don’t mess up to badly.
I’ve already found this switch tester which I figured would give me a general idea of what kind of switches might be for me. Other than that, I’m not really sure how to proceed 😅.
I’m not interesting in doing any soldering.
Ceramic key caps? I didn’t know that was a thing. What would you say the benefit is?
I honestly don’t know why they are not more popular. They feel amazing to the touch, look stunning and give a deep, rich sound. The white ones also diffuse RGB lighting beautifully.
They are quite heavy, though, I would definitely recommend switches with high resistance.
Ok, now I want ceramics…
I have a feeling I’m going to end up with more than one keyboard.
If you are interested, there are a few you tubers who do a rundown on ceramic keycaps.
Random Frank P and Hipyo both have reviews of them when they first came out.
