    Hey there.
     
    Here are some vendors for mechanical keyboard parts. I've linked to their PCBs or Parts sections below:
    CandyKeys: Germany-Based Store. KBDfans: China-Based Store. Worldwide Shipping (Not-Free). KPrepublic: China-Based Store. Free Worldwide Shipping. Mechboards: U.K.-Based Store. Optic Boards: U.K.-Based Store.  
    We, er, have An Introduction to Custom Mechanical Keyboards? It's less of a step-by-step guide and more of a condensed primer for those just starting out or have an interest in custom keebs. See Section [4.3] Assembly if all you're interested in is the assembly process, but it's very far from the best tutorial out there. 😳

    Hey there.
     
    Yep. The GK61x/GK61xs PCB is compatible with both PCB-mounted (5-pin) and plate-mounted (3-pin) switches. Most, if not all, Kailh BOX switches are plate-mounted. 👍

    BOX Ancient Gray Bottom Out Force: 100g. BOX Black Bottom Out Force: 70g. Yes, they are significantly heavier. Probably not for everyone?
    BUT THEY'RE AMAZING. FELL IN LOVE WITH THEM AT FIRST PRESS. 😍

    Thank you for the insight and suggestion. For now I will wait for the announcement for radeon products. If I did go for new radeon gpu, I probably need to switch the cpu and mother board to prevent bottleneck.

    Hey there.
     
    See the vendors that geo3 mentioned above. Also consider:
    1UPKeyboards: New York, U.S.-Based Store. CandyKeys: Germany-Based Store. DailyClack: Australia-Based Store. Flashquark: New York, U.S.-Based Store. KPrepublic: China-Based Store. Free Worldwide Shipping. Kono Store: Utah, U.S.-Based Store. Mechboards: U.K.-Based Store. Optic Boards: U.K.-Based Store. Note: For stores not based in your country/region, please read the store's shipping policies carefully. Additional import duties and taxes may be collected.
     
    If shopping from the U.S., MechanicalKeyboards, Kono Store, and NovelKeys are my go-to. Most others are saddled with high shipping costs and I'm a cheap bastard, haha. Trying out a shipment from KPrepublic, if that one turns out well, I'd recommend them too.

    the G305 was just to reference the G203 since they are the same shell, just wireless. 
     
    removing the cable completely is something different though, if the cable is there you will still feel it. though if this doesnt concern you then its a non issue.

    considering your budget, you might want to look into the viper ultimate, its shape is pretty similar to the model O, but with the freedom of wireless and only 6 grams heavier (you shouldnt really feel a difference though).
     
    keep in mind that these mice are rather different from the G203, here is a comparison to give you an idea

    can you elaborate more on this? providing exact measurements may help more, also do you have a preferred grip style? 
     
    any other preferences that you might like other than it being lightweight?

    You read my mind. With that said, the drag on the feet is also important for fast movements and according to a review the feet on the wired Viper are less glidey (no idea how they measured that though). https://www.rtings.com/mouse/reviews/razer/viper
     
    All in all I'm looking at either the Viper Ultimate or the Glorious Model O, but like I said this is a medium term purchase. Thank you so much for the help!

    Interesting. I see how the G305 (looks like the same shape) is bumpier towards the back compared to these. I don't particularly care for wireless. The mouse is not going to be moved from its spot and I've managed to completely eliminate cable drag without a bungie, but I'll look at the Viper Ultimate.
     
    I'd say I'm looking at the MM710 and these two. The MM710 is also bumpier towards the back, though I see that the grip is different (it's probably got a "grip area" whereas the 305 relies on a negative wall angle for grip)
     
    Honestly I wish I was able to test these out myself, but alas.
