Link your board and folks will be better able to assist. The switch type makes a big difference for stem and height.

2·3 years agoMokulua kit from mechwild probably your cheapest option. It’s a solder kit and all through hole, I built one myself and had fun. It’s fr4 sandwich so on the cheaper end, though depends on what you’re used to. Soldering is fun!

1·3 years agoBased on descriptions on their website it looks like they aren’t… Maybe it’d be possible to desolder one and put on new switches yourself, but that’s a lot of work and if you don’t have the gear/experience for it it can be frustrating or destructive.
There is a custom service listed with a whole lot of choice. I’ve found over time I value hotswap less, both as I get to know what switches I like and also because hotswap can cause decision fatigue. If my switches are soldered in I feel more secure in not thinking about changing them.
Of course now I just get more boards instead oh no help

0·3 years agoNot sure of your budget or thoughts on some DIY. If you don’t have the time to game, you might not have time to solder… In that case I’d recommend looking at options from Kinesis: https://kinesis-ergo.com/products/#keyboards
You can also look through here (https://golem.hu/boards/) for some diy options if you’d prefer that route. Kukkurovaca had a much more detailed explanation. (Hi Kukkurovaca, cool to see you here instead of on discord!)
Very much diy but this kind of layout from Weteor ticks a lot of your boxes.

Let me know if you need guidance on getting from the GitHub to an actual physical board. Soldering will be required (which I always encourage because I find it fun) but I recognize not everyone has the time.
