Since keyboards are such personal devices, it is best to get a keyboard that suits you the most. That is why custom mechanical keyboards are a thing and it’s gaining in popularity too – but the price for a custom mechanical keyboard tends to be very high. Then, 1stplayer up with the UNI-Q. It’s a keyboard case with pre-soldered SMD RGB LEDs and it is hot-swappable with multiple different switches too.
But of course, it didn’t stop there. Why not bundle the 1stplayer UNI-Q with a pack of mechanical key switches and also a keycap set, then cut the price down? That’s exactly what we have.
The bundle that we got here comes in a total of 3 different sets but they are available in a few different flavors:
- 1stplayer UNI-Q keyboard case
- Black
- White
- Mechanical key switches
- Gateron (90 pieces)
- Yellow
- Blue
- Red
- Claims to also support Cherry MX, Outemu, Kailh
- Gateron (90 pieces)
- Doubleshot PBT keycaps
- Black Pudding
- White Pudding
- Pink Pudding
- Grey Black
- Pink White
Each of the items can be purchased separately, which adds up to a total of RM333:
- 1stplayer UNI-Q keyboard case @ RM179
- Gateron key switches (90 pieces) @ RM79
- Doubleshot PBT keycaps @ RM75
But, buying the entire kit in a bundle is only at RM265, which is an unbelievably low price for what it has to offer.
In a very short summary, what I can say is this – this DIY keyboard kit will be a fantastic starting point for those who are looking to start somewhere in the custom mechanical keyboard scene, but don’t want to invest a huge sum. You can literally change the key switches if you don’t like it.
