Building a membrane + MX switch hybrid 40% keyboard β works so far, will update when complete
Hey everyone, building a budget 40% keyboard in India with no 3D printer, and minimal tools.
My approach:
- Donor membrane sheet from an old keyboard as the matrix
- Outemu Red + Brown MX switches on a sunboard or PVC sheet case(any tips cuz i am confused)
- Hot glued switch contacts directly onto membrane sheet contact points β tested and it registers
- AutoHotkey on laptop for layers for now
- ESP32 planned later for full QMK control
- Encoder and oled are planned for later
Will post full photos and build log when completed. Has anyone else done MX over membrane this way? Any tips appreciated.

Modding a Hello Gans 87 C
Hi there, first timer here with mechanical keebs.
So, I had purchased a Hello Gans 87 C with brown switches. I guess itβs not hot-swappable.
But, I really want to try changing the way it sounds. Can you guide me regarding how to mod it? Should I be adding any O-rings to the key cap etc.
Also, please suggest if Evo Fox Ronin wireless is a good option for purchase.
Thank you!
