My first custom keyboard build 🍂🍃

Since getting into the mechanical keyboard hobby last year, I have really been wanting to try and build a custom keyboard "from scratch", meaning you put together the insides of the keyboard and choose your own switches and keycaps to finish it off. Velocifire was kind enough to send me their KV-1 65% a little while back, and I had so much fun building this gorgeous keyboard!

Details:

- 65% layout

- supports ANSI and ISO

- wired or tri-mode connectivity

- comes in a range of different colorways

- aluminum base

- mirror weight on backside

- ball-catch structure

- gasket mount

- VIA/QMK support

I finished this build off with CIDOO Mint switches and Autumn Osmanthus keycaps, and I am in love with how this build turned out ✨

Would you build your own keyboard? 💭

Creating a custom mechanical keyboard is a thrilling experience that blends form and functionality. The Velocifire KV-1 65% keyboard used in this build features a compact ANSI layout that maximizes desk space while maintaining a user-friendly interface. The keyboard is equipped with a gasket mount, promoting a softer typing feel and better sound dampening, which enhances the overall typing experience. Its tri-mode connectivity (wired, wireless, and Bluetooth) ensures versatility, allowing users to easily switch between devices without hassle. Moreover, the KV-1 comes with a captivating aluminum base and a mirror weight plate that not only adds aesthetic appeal but also contributes to its durability. With choices of vibrant colorways and hot-swappable switches, builders can personalize their keyboards down to every detail, creating a truly unique piece of tech art. For those curious about the components, the CIDOO Mint switches provide a smooth typing experience that is ideal for both gaming and productivity, while the Autumn Osmanthus keycaps give a delightful seasonal touch to the keyboard’s appearance. As the mechanical keyboard community continues to grow, more enthusiasts are discovering the joys of customizing their setups. This not only enhances personal enjoyment but encourages a deeper connection with one’s tools of productivity. Would you consider building your own keyboard? Dive into this exciting hobby and express your creativity!
