The KBDFans KBD75 v3.1 is a 75% barebones mechanical keyboard kit designed for hobbyists who want to build a custom keyboard without soldering. It suits users comfortable with assembling components and selecting their own switches and keycaps. This board offers a compact layout with a solid aluminum case and hotswap PCB, making it flexible for switch experimentation and customization.
The keyboard features a top mount design with an aluminum case, which offers rigidity and weight for stability during typing. Cherry screw-in stabilizers are included, improving key feel and reducing rattle on larger keys. The presence of foam layers inside the case and PCB helps dampen sound and vibrations, contributing to a quieter typing experience.
Typing feel depends largely on the switches and keycaps you choose, as these are not included. The aluminum plate supports a firm keypress, while the stabilizers and foam reduce noise and improve overall sound quality. The 75% layout balances compactness with access to essential keys, suitable for both typing and productivity.
This kit requires assembly but no soldering, making it accessible for users new to keyboard building. It supports a 75% layout, which fits most standard keycap sets designed for this size. Polycarbonate and brass plates are available separately for users who want to experiment with different typing feels. Firmware and keymapping details are Unknown.
