That's why you make it yourself like you did

agreed i sure the hell didn't make it because it was going to really be cheaper then buying one. I made it because i wanted to make my keyboard 

 

I also have a vertical mill, metal lathe, a few sheet metal brakes, drill press, welders and hand tools you know the things that would be needed for basic fabrication... hell my brother is building a truck from some parts out back right now lol

You would have to buy a soldering iron and probably new PCB... Just buy one... Its going to better quality as well.

its about the experience and the pride in building your own mechanical keyboard not about the quality

This is an old thread, but to answer this, yes, it is. You need some knowledge of PCB design software like KiCAD, a Dremel, a multimeter, and a steady hand.
