EVER WANTED to build your own keyboard? Get a load of the Ducky ProjectD Outlaw65. It comprises a compact kit with nearly all of the pieces required to build a mechanical keyboard from scratch and a guarantee that every piece will fit together. You need only provide switches and keycaps, which makes sense given how those are subject to personal preference.
The Ducky ProjectD Outlaw65 isn’t cheap at $299, so why might you want to build your own keyboard when you can pay someone less for one already made? If you’re asking rather than already convinced on the idea, it’s a hard sell. Beyond an opportunity to lube up all your stabilizers and switches before putting them inside your keyboard, or the option to customize often inaccessible layers, you mostly need to be in it for the love of the game.
