This is my build from the Pi40 kit by 1UpKeyboards . I've been interested in a 40% board for a while, and this is my first true custom build. For switches I went with Outemu Silent Lemon V2 switches, and I really like them. They feel like the perfect tactile companion to Cherry Silent Reds which I had tried before.

1Up Keyboards Pi 40 Build and Review
The Pi 40 kit , as I purchased it, was $54 and that included everything except for a 2U stabilizer for the Space key, switches, and keycaps. I have a spare stabilizer from a different build and planned to use that but, due to a small delay, all pre-orders received a clip-in stabilizer for free. With that stabilizer the price is $56.
In fact I think the keyboard kit (so not counting the switches or keycaps) was more expensive than the tools I used. All in all, this truly has been a fun experience, and one I will continue to enjoy as I do intend to keep using the Pi 40. It is different, but not so different to be unapproachable. The built Pi 40 with a built 60%, for comparison.
