You need to know what you are doing

The DIY version is not hot swappable, I thought the PCB would be the same as the pre-soldiered one. (My fault) Also the soldering is more advanced than I first thought. I would recommend a qrcode or link to the build guide in the box / email. This isn't my first rodeo but I imagine someone who doesn't have a soldering station would feel unprepared for what they bought. Overall solid build, wish I understood it wasn't hotswappable. Great shipping time compared to other keyboard parts I've bought. Great quality. If you are looking to buy this kit or another go for it, but read everything and look at the build guide first.
