I have a crappy TKL with Cherry Browns that I've had for the better part of 8 years, and a Ducky One 2 SF with Cherry Silent Reds that chatter so much they'd give a hypothermia victim a run for their money. I need to run anti-chatter software at all times so that this keyboard is usable, and my other keyboard is plugged into my work computer so that's not an option.

I'm going all custom for the first time and decided on a 75% layout by ordering a GMMK Pro with Glorious Pandas, but unfortunately the GMMK Pro is so backordered that I am not expecting it for fully another 2 months at least. If I lube one switch per day, I think around the time I finish the last one I'll also be getting the actual keyboard.

In order to get another keyboard in a timely fashion, I decided my second best option was to back the Epomaker AK84S on Kickstarter. Ships in 5 weeks.

Clearly I don't value my time.

Yeah the board I got was the barebones old GMMK TKL model which is currently out of stock on their site and amazon but I found one for $70 on a third party keyboard site. I had looked at Keychron but all theirs are wireless or have stabilizer/space bar issues. That whole having to wait a year or so for product is the only downside of the custom keyboard world. XD
