      285$ for a keyboard that can be freely mapped vs Taran's sulotion of just using a 69$ Hasu usb converter that works with every keyboard. that leaves you with 216$ for a nice mechanical keyboard of your choice + a set of custom keycaps and maybe even replacement switches (my keychron K8 was just 80€ for the version with the hotswappable keys)

      @@GameCyborgCh while that is a good solution you would be hard-pressed to find a 75% mechanical Keyboard with an all-aluminum case, including a full set of PBT keycaps and switches for 216$. On top of that this includes a USB Hub.
      Most Switches start at 30-40$ for 75%, Dye-Sub PBT Keycaps are about 25-40$, a comparable all-aluminum 75% like the drop-alt is 180$. Add Shipping and the Hasu converter and you're way over 285$.
      Of course, there is also the option to embrace the open-source. Grab the Files for this board and get the parts yourself. You can find a place to print the PCB for you for probably 30-40$ if they offer to do single boards. Add the resistors, USB-Connectors, etc. Get a keycap set and switches of your choice, a Switch Plate, and a Bottom Plate. Optionally you can 3d print a case or just not have one. Depending on shipping, vendors, etc., you can build the same thing minus the aluminum body for about 150$. Provided you have a soldering iron. This way includes a lot more work than most people that aren't into keyboards (thus wouldn't spend the 285$) would probably put into it though.
      I think the main reason this video exists is that this board is open source but it's way more convenient for them to show it off using the ready-made kit.

You could kill someone with those things" My classmate looks amused but skeptical, the teacher goes into a supply closet and gets one out, puts it into my classmates hands. He nearly drops it "Oh! You really could hurt someone with this!" Yes. Back in the day, PCs were built with a "Red Dawn" invasion in mind.

    Man it's so interesting how everyone is getting excited (especially in the open source community) about the keyboard, it is cool, but QMK/VIA have been out for a long time among the custom mechanical keyboard space and it's great. It's always neat to see these things getting more mainstream. I love QMK and VIA, ALL keyboards should have it.
    Hotswap is always great, box switches by default is also good (get people away from the worse cherry switches). The split spacebar is definitely neat, but the weird mods are mehh to me, getting aftermarket keycaps for those might be tricky.

    If anyone's wondering why it comes with an alternate escape key that fits where capslock goes, there *is* actually a reason and it's not just "oh you can reprogram your keyboard however you want!"-mapping capslock to escape is actually a pretty common keyboard configuration amongst programmers who use vim (who are exactly the sort of people who would buy a keyboard from S76), in much the same way that, say, I map capslock to control because I use emacs.
