Need help with my first custom 100% QWERTZ keyboard!

[DevOpsDavid]

Hello, keyboard enthusiasts!

I’m a complete beginner looking to build my very first custom keyboard, and I could really use some guidance. I want to create a 100% layout keyboard with a QWERTZ (German) layout. Here’s what I have in mind so far:

• Switches: I want to use Outemu Lime (5pin) switches for their tactile feel.
• Keycaps: I’m aiming for keycaps similar to the Summer Serenity set from Akko. I really love that aesthetic!

However, I’m a bit lost when it comes to selecting the right case and PCB. I want to ensure everything is compatible and fits well together. Here are a few questions I have:

1. Case: I’m looking for a case that fits a 100% layout and has a solid build quality. Any recommendations?
2. PCB: I’d like a PCB that supports VIA, so I can easily customize my key mappings. What are some good options?
3. Keycaps: I need keycaps that are QWERTZ layout and have a similar style to the Summer Serenity set. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
4. Other Components: If there’s anything else I should consider or any additional parts I need for my build, please let me know!

I’d appreciate any advice, tips, or component suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help!

this is a german forum!

So you have to ask in german too...

As mentioned, we are a German-speaking forum, so posts should be written in German.

DeepL could help you in this case.

bin dumm...

hab jetzt die Keychron Q6 mit keyoo keycaps oder Double-Shot PBT von Keychron und Outemu lime switches

ist das vom prinzip her eine gut Tastatur?
Ich bin mir nämlich nicht ganz sicher da bei den switches 5pin steht und bei der Keychron Q6 kann ich dazu nichts finden...

Das meint ChatGPT:

Will aber nochmal auf nummer sicher gehen.
