Received last week and finally took the time to build it last night.
Switches are Gat X with 57g TX springs, using a pp plate, cherry clip in stabs, and PBT Spellbook for caps.

I’m trying out gummy o-ring mount first since I’ve never used it before, feels pretty good but I’ll probably switch to top mount in a few days to feel the difference.

(I hope kbin supports multiple image posts soon so I don’t have to do this anymore)

That’s fair. If you really don’t wanna build it yourself then finding a budget option is gonna be be difficult yeah.

For switches, I would probably get the silent red since you wanted something quieter, (and personally i would swap them out later with something better like TTC Wilds or some jwick blacks)

Since this is your first split maybe you should start with something cheaper like a Lily58 kit (lot of online store sell the lily) or something to see if split if something that works for you?

Nice board! Wish I could use one at work too but my wpm goes down the drain whenever I try anything under a 60%.

Also, nice name OP.

What a chonker of a board! Love it!

You have a repository somewhere online with the designs? Would love to have a look.

A nice board for the price, needed something I could leave behind in the office.
