Nibble 65% 72 Key Programmable QMK Mechanical Keyboard Kit (Black)

I have owned my nibble for about a year now and I can confidently say I am in love with this board coming from an Electrical Engineering background. Being able to MOD every aspect of this board is what drove me to the Nibble platform. I went with the Nibble65 due to being a compact layout and being compatible with VIA. The LED Display that is sold separately is what drove me to this board. You get so many features and customization options that it is unbelievable for a board at this price.Many are in the Keyboard hobby for the premium feel and build quality of a board, but for me. I value features, customizability, and being able to build things and program them myself.Definitely not for the feint of heart. You will need to solder to put this board together and possibly have a multimeter to troubleshoot shorts. I messed up at some places, but I was able to put it all together working in the end.

Overall the best part of this keyboard is how damn good it looks. I brought it to work this week and everyone kept complimenting it all week lol. How good it looks makes me happy with the purchase overall.The typing experience isn't as fantastic but it is still good. I would rate the typing feel maybe like 3.5/5. It just has a bit too much flex I think which makes switches feel less poppy. I am using tactiles which may affect my opinion versus someone using linears.The one thing about this keyboard is the overall price is deceiving. Although it is $70 on here you still need a controller, USB cable, possibly oled screen, switches, keycaps. It comes out to $200 quick, and mine was actually around $400 if I include the tidbit (numpad) shown in the picture. Although I did get mill-max sockets, fr4 plates, and high end switches.Ultimately I'd recommend this keyboard as it is a fun project and looks awesome. There is a lot of help in building with the guides and discord. It is easy to build it just takes some time.

Will update when I figure out how to delete this. Constantly switches keyboard and mouse buttons to be unusable. Even on other boards. Can't for the life of me figure out how to delete it from the pc.Update, reinstalled windows and the thing is still there.EditFigured part of it out, still haven't got the keyboard to a 100% though

Do you like electronic projects? Would you like the project to do more than blink some lights or tell time? Well friend, then it's time you dipped a toe in Mechanical Keyboard kits and this one, you will not be disappointed with.You'll need to solder a good deal, but that's a pretty useful skill, and the end product is worth the effort. You'll need to pick what switches you want (I chose Gazzew Boba U4's), the keycaps (Drop Camillo's), and you'll need to flash the firmware onto the microcontroller. You can even customize that firmware to do whatever you want.The customization of the keyboard is half the fun too. You can choose to add an encoder, screen, and large RGB LED if you want.Finally, lets say something about the customer service from Nullbits. It's outstanding and the owner is always willing to go the extra mile for their customers. So if you like supporting good small businesses, this is absolutely a company worth supporting.

The board is awesome, and the support is even more amazing! If you have any issues at all, there's tons of support on the site. If that isn't enough, they also have an active discord where you can learn everything you need to know; from soldering to flashing the firmware. I'm a complete novice, with zero experience in programming and very little with soldering, and I was able to have this keyboard up and running after about 4 hours. Very fun and fulfilling project that I would recommend to anyone interested in trying something new, or just adding to their existing keyboard collection.

This is my 7th and last keyboard project. This ruined the hobby for me. Have never been so angry in my life. Don't forget to plan ahead 17 hours pealing off a piece of paper from plexiglass . Actually do that last , since when you accidently destroy one 30 cent part , that has no extras... You can decide if you want to order this again or just throw it away and cut your losses. I suggest cutting your loses. Chances are if you destroyed it the first time... Well history repeats itself. The instructions are on github, But when those fail you, you can look up the process on youtube and stare into the back of some guys head while he completely skips steps in his build 'guide' . Hope you know how to code, cause these precompiled files needed for 3rd party software only come in one layout. But don't worry, You wont get that far.

Assembling this kit took me quite a bit of time due to me opting to add hot-swap sockets (and being a bit rusty with surface mount component soldering), but the result was worth it and the keyboard looks and feels great. I made a custom layout with QMK from github and so far I had zero issues with it. Considering getting one in black as well now.

This was a fun build that was a nice challenge but still intuitive. Soldering is a bit tedious but nothing too difficult. The kit includes most of the materials you need. The quality of parts is good, and everything arrived nicely. P3D store provides a well-made case for the keyboard.
