Prebuilt Split Keyboards Aren't Overpriced

Video Description

Featuring the Kaly42, a DIY split mechanical keyboard! Building your own keyboard can be less expensive than buying a prebuilt board, but you miss out on nice features, and (depending on skill level) get a lower quality keyboard. Basically, you get what you pay for.
