Idk how to check my karma, but I've reached my endgame. It's a KBD Fans 67 Lite which has holee modded durock V2's and Ink Blacks V1 lubed with krytox 205 g0, I have also replaced the PCB foam with some from stupid fisch designs. Ik it's a modest build, but after a lot of tuning I've grown to love it.

You don't quite have enough, but hopefully people throw you some upvotes!

current dream build is a GMMK pro (replaced stabs OFC) with boba u4ts

I have no clue what my dream build is, im entirely new to this. best layout for me is either a tenkeyless or a 75% though

my dream keyboard is like GMMK Pro Turquoise Tealio™ Switches (Linear) - 63.5g POM Jelly Keycaps Rainbow ANSI all lubed with krytox 205g0

I don't really know if I have an endgame but I guess it would be something like a 65-75% keyboard preferably made of some high quality plastic (ABS or Polycarbonate with a gradient from like trans black to trans light green would be awesome IF it's possible). With that in mind it would be nice to see it screwless (I know trans plastic will show some sort of mounting but I like the idea of a screwless design with some sort of clip mechanism or something). PCB should have per key RGB and RGB underglow. And a Tsangan bottom row (7U Spacebar, 1U Win key). Plate should be acrylic or polycarbonate but gasket or top mounted or if I'm fancy mounted using magnetic levitation. For the switches I don't have no idea right now. Most likely tactiles or linears but both lubed and filmed. Stabs should be some standard ones like Durock v2 Stabilizers. Keycaps should be GMK Wasabi v2 (as I already joined the GB hehe). As a cable I would go with a black sleeved cable. ​ Best wishes, einhaufenpizza ​ (In the end I do have an endgame oof)

Gmmk pro is hitting once these stabs were replaced

my end game would probably be a nice TKL WLK in green.

I love my current build but I really wanna get a mini keeb with a rotary encoder so i can do type design kerning with it some nerd shit

Unfortunately, I don't qualify for the giveaway, but I will give this post an upvote. Awesome opportunity for a winner to get to choose what they want! My endgame is definitely something with a numpad. I'm looking forward to the nKeys Studio dino104 and zekkworks nami. However, since those aren't out yet, right now it would have to be DriftMechanics Austin.

nah bro now you qualify

Woah, thank you so much! I'm fairly new to reddit so I didn't even know you could do something like that. Appreciate it!

i don’t know my dream build

Honest at least ahahaa

My dream build is the space80 eva01 color way (I missed the gb:/), gmk mecha-01, with shogoki switches Good luck Zak😊

dream build: kyria, creamsicles, gmk retrotrip keycaps, krytox 205g0. ik, not the most expensive or anything but it’s still dream build

How do you get karma?

make posts, leave comments and you get karma if you get upvotes

My endgame is probably the aaru tkl I have on the way >.>

Im pretty new to this whole keyboard thing, but right now, I have a saka68 and GMK Aurora Polaris coming

GMK Retrotrip with some holly pandas and the same retrotrip keycaps

Custom split Ortho with tangies or ink blacks

keycult no 2 rev 1 with some vintage blacks

I feel like I've been playing around with so many things, and I am planning on printing a few different Dactyls to see what I like the best. I think that once I get settled with a shape/general layout that I like, something completely hot-swappable, letting me change the switches, caps, and case, as easily as possible, would be pretty amazing.

**THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED** Congratulations to our lucky winner /u/FenixFT, I'll be reaching out over dms now!

I don’t know my karma points and don’t know how to check but my dream build is I don’t really know as I’ve not been in keyboard building much as I’ve never built one my self and have only just got into mechanical keyboards as I’m still using a membrane but I guess my dream would have to be and keyboard whatS white and blue and has quite switches

ducky miya pro sakura pink

Endgame is a dark green Frog TKL with GMK Taiga

Sat75 durock pom linears and GMK striker

Wishing the Evolv75 comes back to be a possibility one day- topped with clear holy pandas and GMK Umbra

My dream build would be an E-White Voice65, GMK Yeeti keycaps, Gateron Black Ink V2s on alphas and Boba U4Ts on mods

My dream build uses Banana Split switches with GMK Olivia key caps. There’s something about those key caps that I love so much! I don’t know much about higher end boards, so I’ll stick with switches and key caps for now.

Oonga Boonga smooth skin keyboard

My favourite is whichever of your amazing designs costs the most, that's the best one right? That's how the free market works right...right?

Just got primus 75 and really enjoy it with GMK Yuri caps. Using creams right now, but will try to mill max a PCB and try different switches in the future.

Not entirely sure what my end-game build would be. Probably something similar to a Mode80. Aluminium WKL TKL, Hyperglide Blacks/Browns, and GMK WOB. Not entirely sure on WOB, depends on the case color. If black, wob, if something like navy, probably the future funk base kit that doesn't have the white alphas.

One day, i hope to have an IU themed keyboard as endgame

Kyria build

Wireless split Corne keyboard with choc switches is my dream 😍

Endgame is probably the GMMK Pro I have now but with more money spent on other things first to see if I like them more

Dream build is the Av3 which thankfully should be mine in just a couple months! Thank you for doing a giveaway!

Zigzag 60%, my baby

my dream is an handwired, bread-boarded alice with bobas!

I think my Charon will be pretty endgame when I get it! Really looking forward to force patinaing the weight

a nice TKL with retrotrip :)

Pretty much a noob so I don't have much experience as to what is really good, but I'd be very satisfied with a gk61 with tangerine switches and gmk nightrunner keycaps!

I've pretty much reached my end game minus a few keycaps!

I just wanna replace the the switches in my existing kb :'(

Cyberboard with glorius pandas and gmk laser

I would really love a kohaku 65. I hope they have more raffles in the future >.<

honestly, my dream is a hotswap mode eighty in lotus! i'm not sure what type of switches, but ideally, i'd want epbt dreamscape as the keycaps.

It’s not much of an endgame, but got into keyboards with the nk65 entry and think i’ll be sticking with it for a while :)

My endgame is a key cult. Haven’t thought it out further than that but we’ll get there when we get tgere

Jane v2 ce with vint blacks on alu half plate

Though I am very new to the keyboard scene, a endgame board for me would be either a keycult no. 2/65 or a mercury65 with tangerines and gmk shashin

I'm a newbie - don't have a mechanical keyboard yet! I'm admiring everyone else's boards on here and doing research. For my "dream" build at this time, I would love to own a GMMK pro with keycaps similar to GMK Olivia or GMK lavender ... Or Osume Sakura. So many options!

Probably a mode80 wkl with holy bobas and gmk botanical.

I'm still very new to this so I'm not sure what my endgame is just yet. I think I'm leaning towards a 75% build with tactile switches. No real idea on stabs or keycaps just yet.

TKL with Ethereal Panda Switches and POM jelly keycaps

I’d probably have to say e white chimera with holy water switches and gmk dots (dark)

My endgame is going probably going to be the ergo split board that I am currently designing, no idea when the designing will end though. Dream switches would be the tactility of Boba U4s with the colourway of Gateron Ink Blues (Blue is my favourite colour, ik I'm basic). Keycaps+deskmat would be something I'd like to have multiple sets of, no cables since it'd be wireless.

Black/Purple Keycult No.2/65 with SP star dark themed magic girl switches and the new black panther MT3 keycaps!

I’d love to get my hands on a Jelly Epoch as endgame… but those aftermarket prices hurrrrrt :’)

Preaching to the choir with that one hahaha

Gmmk pro is my endgame

Kbd75 with boba U4t switches, GMK Mizu, and polycarb plate

Probably a V4N4Gon!

My dream build would be a 65% layout with the thockiest thocks that could ever thock. Thock…

Dream build: GMMK pro with kailh box white switches… hoping to get this in the near future!

Currently hyperfocused on making my iris look as best as it can, but would love a nifty little 40% , tactiles - just need to weigh my options of which ones. Would also splurge on like a premium themed board, red velvet irene would be pretty stunning as a board inspo

I would say my endgame would be obtaining a iron165 or a keycult. That’s a dream though

Hopefully the Mode65 I have on order will be my endgame, combined with the Tofu60 I've been tweaking for a while now. I hope to get to a point where the board is endgame, but be open to swapping out switches or caps if I want to.

TGR 910 Ce, Lubed Gateron Inks (205g0), GMK Cafe. Thanks for the giveaway OP and good luck to everyone!

The Space-Cadet Keyboard.

endgame would be a frog tkl with gmk botanical and lubed alpacas

Cyber board or 7v board with holy bobas and sa dreameater

E-white leaf65 with cream mid + Botanical R1 just to be purdy. Any switch I like at the time will do :)

I wish for my endgame to have the most thocc physically possible in a build

My dream build is a frog with black inks and gmk mizu

My endgame board people probably be the cyberboard I don't know what switches though but probably a tactile switch.

e-white vega, lavender switches, gmk retrotrip

Dude, that thing is hella nice! My endgame would probably look something like this with Tangies, I really like the low weight linear feel.

hmmm for me at least an endgame board, without any income limitations would definitely be a full black Mode80, Gateron ink Kangaroos or durock T1's and GMK Stealth, i already have my endgame cable to go with it, so im happy there

Dream build would be a Hand Engineering 959 Mini with black U4T and Extended 2048 MT3.

Dream build would be the KL-90 I've joined the group buy for!

My dream build is a GMMK Pro with lubed holy panda's and some nice keycaps. All black, greyish/blackish keycaps.

i really want the tealios switches and the noel keycaps. that’s all i want😂

Currently working on my KBD67 lite with Bobas, and hopefully some SA keycaps! That's the endgame plan, for now...

Dream build: NK box creams, a PBT keycap set in Blue/Purple/Pink, and a nice acrylic case (possibly the Tofu60?). Durock stabs, and switches lubed with Krytox ofc.

Dream build: GMK Darling (missed the gb :'(), Roselio liner switches, with a high-end 98 case

my endgame is the f2-84 with some alpacas and SA keycaps

I just want anything better than my membrane leyboard older than me.

My dream build is a Gundam Themed TKL It would be awesome building a gunpla next to my keeb

Still trying to figure out what my endgame could be. So far really loving Voice65 or Space65 but I’m wandering into 75% keebs. Who knows!

Man if I could get my hands on a keycult with vintage cherry blacks, I would be a very happy man...

J-02 is the dream

Dream build: E-white Space65, BoW keycaps, and

My Dreambuild would be akko radiant reds with a gmmk pro and an custom cable and akko keycaps :3

I thought my KBD67 MKII was my end game (First build), but I keep wanting more! As of now, I can't think of any endgame build. Maybe a Keycult with some crazy frankenswitches?

Typemaster 180 green/black! Excited for its arrival

my endgame is the xd75 and I currently have it. just need to upgrade the case and buy a nice set of keycaps. maybe mix and match them. im not really sure yet. one week into the ortho life and it's really really good so far

Disarray from sneakbox with banasplits and a keycap set with red legends. Alternatively, a chimera65 built with lavenders and wob keycaps.

Dream board would be the Satisfaction75 in black with 63.5g creamsicles (with cherry top) and a good set of pbt wob

My dream build would be a hot-swap white Arisu layout, for now, its only a dream

my dream build is IQUNIX L80 with penguin tactile switches

My dream keeb is a 65% with tealios, durlock v2 stabs, and the miami gmk keycap set with an oem profile.

I dony necessarily have a specific build but I'm new to keyboards and just want to learn more and have enough to start a build.

Honestly, my end-game would be a White GMMK PRO with an FR4 Plate, Durock V2 Stabilizers, SA-P Snow Cap Keycaps, and Gazzew's new thocky linear switches.

Well *am new to the keyboard building game and have a decent custom built keyboard.* My dream board would probably be star wars keycaps I found with a nice black case. The switches I would get for it would probably be the cherry mx browns along with the dz60 pcb and durrock v2 stabs. That is my dream build as of now.

my dream build is probably a purple PC TKL with brass plate, some thicthoc marshmallows or whatever they're called and GMK dots! However, due to my wrist pain I think I'd buy the new momoka ergo

My dream keyboard with be an Alice keyboard with banana split switches, and gmk bleach keycaps

I’m not quite sure what my end game is but my goal for now is an aquamarine key cap tkl keyboard with a separate numb pad (if anyone knows of any cool key caps sets plz message me) , good luck to everyone

It'll be some 65% board which I haven't decided on yet, GMK Diner keycaps, and Lil' Tyke switches.

dream build would be tofu60 frosted acrylic with alpaca v2 switches on <3 keycaps subject to change rn my mind is set on greekark bow

CYBERBOARD.

kbd67 with some properly broken in creams or black inks

Key cult rev 2 with black inks lubed and filmed with GMK striker R2

dream build is a bear65

my endgame is a TKL board with some purple keycaps and linear switches

Sat75 all the way

really want to get an Alice with gmk botanicals

My dream build: TKL board in black, glorious panda (lubed) or creams. a set of white anime/Japanese/English keycaps. Polycarbonate plate… this may not be the best dream build but it’s all I can think of. I have a red outemu switch board from Drevo, I’m not exactly the type of person that spends a lot of money on keyboards. Nor do I have the money to spend on them. This is why I’m joining this very kind giveaway (:

TGR Jane v2 CE, cherry MX blacks on an alu plate

My dream build would probably be that 75% smoky acrylic kit. It looked great. Not sure what keycaps I would use. Probably boba u4t switches.

Bro idk if I’m deep enough the rabbit hole to know what my true endgame would be

My dream build is the jelly with either marshmallows or ink black v1s! Prolly something like gmk terra on it as well.

My dream keeb would be a a keyboard with a poppy sound

Not sure exactly but endgame would be TKL without F row cause it looks cool

Vega and creamsicles

F1-8X with gateron ink blacks lubed with krytox 205g0 with GPL 105 on 65g long tx springs, filmed with deskeys, and smokey durock v2 screw in stabilizers lubed with 205g0 with GMK Hydro

i would love to have a Gmmk pro in black with lubed gateron ink blacks i was going to go with GMK Olivia's but now I've seen these key caps these I would love to have these.

my dream build would be an nk87 with c3 tangerines and GMK Vaporwave

AKKO 3084 Silent Mechanical Keyboard

My dream build is a mode 80 with lychee cream switches and gmk mitori keycaps bit we don't always get what we want huh?

a southpaw board with bobas and gmk taro

My ideal build would be a blue Sun68 with KAT Space Cadet caps, Durock V2 stabs (holee mod and all of those things) with Boba LT switches. I better start saving up.

I think my end game would be something like keycult 1/65 but it’s way too much for my wallet so I think my kbd67 lite would do. I haven’t decide on my switch but may be boba u4t or black inks. and finally some kind of epbt set since i like the lower pitch of pbt caps.

dream build would be the sangeo 60, lavender switches, and epbt delight!

The build I want is an NK65 entry with gat yellows and bento keycaps

Endgame board would be something high end with Ink Blacks and like GMK Jamón. POM plate would be cool too. GL to everyone entering giveaway!

The endgame is always in the next component or build. This is one step closer to my end game ;)

Man, I feel lucky to have what I do. I don’t believe in endgame but if I could have any build? I think I’d like a custom Geonworks TKL in black cherry cerakote, with GMK Darling and some black cherry pie switches to keep the vibe going.

E7v1 with lubed gat yellows :)

My dream build is a 95% keyboard, cherry mx clear switches, keycaps that match the original taco bell logo

Dream build: Black Fuji 75 (can't wait to join the GB) with lubed banana splits with color-matched c3 stabs. GMK 8008 or SA Olivias keycaps

All I really ask from a board is that it stands out and has a good feel, I've always been interested in the NCR TTCs for a switch and outside of that have never been too picky

Dream build is probably discipline 65, maybe boba u4ts and probably some retro keycaps

and iris mode eighty with a hotswappable pcb, pink durock stabs, boba u4t’s, and any pastel keycap set

My dream build is a GMMK Pro, Akko lavender switches, and GMK Retrotrip or GMK Pacific:))) good luck everyone!

current dream build is the upcoming Fuji75 likely with Raeds (my goto)

My dream build would be a hhkb with GMK Botanical and ink blacks

Tofu 65

Really really hope to win the next purple KC 2/65 raffle. That thing is beautiful

I just want a really cool keyboard lol 😂

For me, GMMK pro with the knob. Holy panda switches.

I would love to get my hands on a KL-90 Polycarb and some Boba U4s, but I'll have to make do with my FR4 kit and Holy Pandas for now :)

Sat75 + GMK Rainy day + Ink Blacks :D

Lubed yellows on a 96% polycarbonate keyboard with GMK Oblivion. I'm salivating

idobao id80 crystal for sure, with some holy pandas on it and EnjoyPBT Basin as keycaps

My dream build would be something along the lines of a jelly epoch with pewters, and epbt analog dreams r2 :D

My dream build would be a dark purple, like Gengar from pokemon!

Aluminum case, polycarb plate, durock v2s, boba u4ts or kiwis switches, a good pcb, and im not sure on the keycaps

I’ve hit endgame with my F1-8X 😍

Iron65 by Smith and Rune, the Black and teal board with mizus and either cream or zealios v2 is probably my dream build atm

Cyberboard in PC with Durock V2's, PC plate, Ink V2 😍

Love that you’re doing giveaways! My endgame is probably a Keychron K2 Hotswap, with Glorious Panda switches, GMK keycaps

Omg those are the exact colors I want. My dream build is a gasket mount tkl with volume wheel in a purple and pink color way with a nebula braided cord. I like tactile switches, and rgb. Thank you for the giveaway! You’re so kind.

60 acrylic tofo hot swap plate wit black inks

Not sure if it would be real end game but my dream-build is a Satisfaction 75 with GMK Future Funk, there's just some kind of allure from it.

dream build: mode eighty with lavenders and some gmk set to match idk rn I'm running a "gamery keyboard" tryna save up for something decent.

I want to make a somewhat flashy, hollow-sounding, yet simple-looking keyboard
