Hi! It is my first post in this community in Lemmy. I just wanted to show my ortholinear KB. It is a KpRepublic BM40 (plank-like) with Cherry Brown switches.

I built it 8 months ago and I love it, for every day work and for working elsewhere beacause it is very easy to carry in my backpack.

I hope you like it.

      Don’t remerber exactly, because despite I build it some months ago, the pieces I bougot them almost a year ago. Anyways here it is an estimation:

      • 1 PCB KpRepublic BM40: 45€
      • 50 Gateron Brown Switches: 15€
      • 48 keycaps XDA: 25€
      • 1 Aluminium case for BM40: 25€
      • 1 Carbon fiber plate for BM40: 10€

      So, around 120€. I mean, it is not cheap, but I am really happy with the result. But I am sure it is not toe most expensive thing you can find into this rabbithole 😂

      While I’d never want to talk someone out of building their own custom from individually sourced components… let it be said that you can also get a pre-built Planck from ZSA: https://www.zsa.io/planck

      It’s a bit pricier than combining everything on your own for sure. But if it’s in your budget and you don’t know your way about what components you need it’s an option.
