Hi! My name is blur (@bluranerd on YouTube), and I’ve built a variety of keyboards for clients as well as myself. I also run a magazine for keyboard hobbyists.
<aside> 🛠️ All services will be paid through PayPal using the Goods & Services protection, which requires an additional 4% fee for processing. Zelle and PayPal without G&S is allowed as well, but at your own discretion. I offer all clients to sign a contract with me, especially for pricier builds, for the protection of your money and insurance that I deliver the product to you.
The client is always in charge of all shipping costs as well as the base prices of all necessary keyboard materials (keyboard base, keycaps, switches).

I always take high quality photo and video of each completed build I make to show to future clients and to post on YouTube. Please let me know if you are not okay with this.

| Base Keyboard Build This includes installation of keycaps, any necessary keyboard drivers or software, and switch installation on a hotswap PCB. No soldering or stabilizer tuning is included. | 60% sized and under: $20 70% to 100%: $25 100% and up: $30
Disassembly before rebuild, if necessary: $15 | | --- | --- | | Consultation for Keyboard Build I can go over what services I have and where to look for information for free.
For in-depth advice on your potential build, I ask for a fee due to the potential time spent researching, length of our conversation, and possibility that our consultation won’t end in any further services. I unfortunately cannot text indefinitely for free to every client due to the volume of requests for advice I tend to receive. | FREE for the first hour +$10 per extra hour of in-depth consulting | | Soldering and Desoldering PCBs Using my own soldering equipment, I can solder switches onto a solder PCB, and desolder switches as well if necessary. | $40 for soldering $40 for desoldering
TKL/75% or larger: $50 for soldering $50 for desoldering | | Tuning of Stabilizers Your stabilizers will be lubed with Krytox 205g0, XHT-BDZ, or Gazzew LOOB-3g, based on type of stabilizer. I will also wire balance. Other mods, such as holee, should not be necessary. I usually will just switch to a thicker lubricant if needed. | $10 | | Switch Modification All switches are lubed with Krytox 205g0. The amount of lubricant applied can be specified by the client (lightly lubed, or more thickly lubed). I can also use Tribosys 3203 or thinned Gazzew LOOB-3G to lube tactiles to preserve tactility if that is of interest.
Any additional switch modification, such as filming switches, spring swapping, or frankenswitching, will add additional costs. | $40 for switch lubing +$8 for filming +$8 for spring swapping +$10 for frankenswitch build | | Keyboard Modification Some examples of modifications I can do:
