Practice75

The Practice75 keyboard kit is in our beginner friendly Practice Series of in stock keyboards. The focus of this series is to provide a fun building experience that helps teach soldering in a tight budget. The PCB included in this kit requires soldering the switches only- the USB port, MCU, and diodes are already soldered to the PCB. The best part about this series is not only does it help teach, but at the end you are left with a fully functional keyboard.

Just add keycaps, stabilizers, and switches for a complete build!

Great practice solder build

The price feels simply too high for what it offers, which includes no accessories on top of a $43 pcb, making it $10 for two simple plates and screws/standoffs. You could get more value and keyboard modding practice with a fuller kit.

First, the top and bottom plate assembly resonate a noticeably hollow sound.
Second, there are no feet separating this keyboard from the desk, making it rattle on hard surfaces and providing no angle. Personally I use a hard surface where I solder, making this inconvenient.
Third, the lack of stabilizers, even simple clip in ones, adding >$10 to the total.

All of these problems can be patched with additional material and effort: foam for the bottom, o rings for the screws, sticker rubber feet, and the $10 extra stabs. Once modded the board works as a south facing switch tester with no case to mute sound. However this kit is too bare-bones and you could experiment more with a pre-built or an extra solder pcb for another keyboard.
