I want to build a keyboard. What do I need?
I'm new to mechanical keyboards. Could someone give me a list of all the parts I need to build one? Thanks.

You can pretty much find everything you need on KBDfans except for a soldering iron.
fyi lube and clip your stabilizers so they don't sound all rattly.
- Case
- PCB
- Plate
- Stabilizers (make sure to get cherry stabilizers and also install them before soldering in the switches!)
- LEDs (optional)
- Switches
- Keycaps
- Cable

Can standard keycaps be used on these or are the ortholinear ones strictly required?

Are the keycaps double shot? I want to use the keyboard for a long time without wearing it out

My windows keys stopped working on both sides. Is this a function of the keyboard or is my keyboard broken?
