Before you build
A custom build starts with the case — the most expensive and least changeable component. Pick the layout (60–100%) and mounting style (gasket, top, tray) first, then everything else snaps around it. We check compatibility automatically as you add parts.
Switches are the biggest taste decision — linear, tactile or clicky, lighter or heavier, lubed or unlubed. Use our filters to narrow down based on the feel you want. Plan for 82 switches to cover a full 75% keyboard; account for a few spares.
Keycaps are optional if your kit ships with a set, but a profile swap can completely change typing feel and sound. Stabilizers are cheap and critical — skimp here and your spacebar will rattle for months.
Common build questions
Do I need to solder anything?
Not for most modern kits. Anything with a hot-swap PCB accepts switches by hand — just line up the pins and press in. Only older kits or custom PCBs require soldering.
What tools do I need for a first build?
A switch-and-keycap puller (usually bundled), a small Phillips screwdriver, and patience. Optional but recommended: tweezers for swapping stab housings, and an isopropyl-alcohol wipe for lubing.
Can I save multiple builds on one account?
Not yet — KeebDepot is account-free. Use the Share button to copy a URL that round-trips your full configuration, and bookmark it. Save also keeps a copy in your browser.
How does compatibility checking work?
We cross-reference each product’s specs (stem type, socket, layout coverage, PCB thickness) against every other selection. Blockers are red, warnings amber, and a green dot means everything lines up.
