Where did all the keyboard kits go? (lemmy.ml)

I took a break from mechanical keyboards because I had a keyboard I was happy with. Now I need another for a second desk and it seems like all the keyboards people recommend now are fully pre-built.

This doesn't make sense to me, I really like the ability to chose my switches and keycaps (especially my keycaps). I don't see why you would get a keyboard that already has these when the first thing your going to do is replace them.

Haven't been really into the scene much in a few years, but this seems to track.

Over the years I've built several kits, and a couple of partial / fully custom boards (including one hand wired), but my current daily driver is a Keychron, and I'm super happy with it: Between the build quality, case and switch options, QMK, hot swap, backlighting, etc, I really haven't missed my older boards (although I still want to build a split 1800ish layout someday), and I'm sure I'll dump more money into caps at some point.
