What to check before you buy

  • Barebones kits look cheaper but need switches and keycaps; a prebuilt is usually the better value under $100.
  • Hot-swap support lets you upgrade switches later instead of buying a new keyboard.
  • Check the connection type; the cheapest variant is often wired-only.
  • Look for remapping support (QMK, VIA or the maker’s software) if you want custom shortcuts.

Should I buy a kit or an assembled keyboard?
