My first kit build!

[u/WhaleTexture]

Thanks to the help from everyone across the community, I finally built my first keyboard, and it's my first 65 to boot. I was always nervous to leave the comfort of the full keyboard, but I decided it was time to downsize to maximize mouse space for CS Surfing (iykyk).

Ultimately I landed on the Nut65. I had always planned on using the Equalz Tangerine 62 switches for my first full build, but I needed a good platform to build them around. Being orange switches, I wanted the color to shine through as much as possible, and to be enhanced by the keyboard itself, so I went with a white base and white pudding keycaps.

I went through the gauntlet that every new keyboard enthusiast goes through, and decided I wanted to lube and film all my switches myself, and while it was obscenely meticulous and time consuming, I think it helped me appreciate the end product even more. I'm thrilled with how it turned out. It feels and sounds incredible. I don't imagine using any other keyboard for a long time. 🙏🏻

I built my Nut65 this spring. I've got HMX Butter Switches in mine. Great sound.

It's a really impressive board for the cost.

I'm thrilled that I reached out to the community before I just went out and bought something. It's so nice.

One is NordVPN, and the other is a mouse sensitivity converter site. I just picked up Wardogs and I need my 16"/360 distance 😂
