    The fact people don't value how much faster number input is on a numpad blows my mind. The only use 1-0 should get is when typing passwords or being used as hotkeys in games, other than that every number should be typed with numpad key-fu in a flurry of keystrokes.

    The process of finding what you like is always so interesting. I didn't really even test the feel of too many things when I built my first, just had two pre-builts before it and a TON of YT videos to gauge the sound profile I wanted. It was a tad intimidating, but the biggest hurdle for me is always just sticking with it when something feels like it's taking too long. Ripping off stock caps and switches is soooo booring. Super rewarding process in the end though and been absurdly happy with mine for a year now. I really do want to build a proper split keeb now that I have an Alice layout one. I do recommend protecting your arms and hands with an ergonomic keeb.

    I can totally relate! I needed some silent switches for my keyboard at work because my keyboard was too loud and I didn't want to be the annoying colleague who makes so much noise lmao. My last switch purchases were silent tactile (Outemu silent lemon) and silent linear (Akko haze pink) - maybe there are better switches out there but damn were they life-changing. Appreciate the newbie-friendly advice as always (even though I've been into this hobby for nearly 4 years now)

    I actually was on the fence when it came to building my own keyboard but I actually followed through after watching this video. I went really well but I would not recommend getting the gem80 at this moment because out the box it came with some issues like keys not registering and spacebar double-clicking which were both not solved with a firmware update, apparently this is a common issue. Besides those issues with the gem80 the wuque silent tactile switches work perfectly and I would recommend getting them.
