    Just finished watching! Great video!
    I just picked up an LK67 at a Bargain Hunt for $3, yes 3. So I decided to make the ultimate budget keyboard for my first build. Ordered the Gateron KS-9 2.0 Yellows @$0.24 /piece, a polar cap set from Epomaker for $30, and 3ml of the same lube for $6.95. Went ahead and stuffed the massive amount of empty space in the board with toilet paper for Free.99. Total cost was just under $60.
    Hopefully I'm capable of assembling it

    I wish you could pick the color on your keycaps, like specifically, each one of them, I had some ideas for a keyboard keycaps that I would like, but because I can't pick I'll probably won't be building a keyboard very soon, at least not before I buy an airbrush, cuz maybe I could paint the keycaps with it.
