Things are made in bulk to keep costs down but when you have to have your own special anodization colors and make them etch your youtube logo in the prices skyrocket.

    I mean no disrespect, but you built it wrong. The two pieces of foam that you showed were the hot-swap and soldered bottom foam. The mid/plate foam is a completely different foam. When assembling, you put the soldered bottom foam, which could cause some of the hot-swap sockets to pop off as they're being compressed by the foam. And, by using the soldered bottom foam, the typing experience might be a little bit stiffer as there is even more compression (as the foam is pressing against the hot-swap sockets).

      The problem is he’s here providing a tutorial showing people how to do something the wrong way.

      @@noahmelamed7400 no I’m completely agree, But I think this was less of a tutorial, and more of Hamaji just recording his custom build and sharing it with us.
      He didn’t state anywhere that this was a tutorial, and Being Human, Mistakes happen. The Hotswap pad and the foam for between the plate and PCB do look quite similar.
