CannonKeys Practice65 v2 Keyboard Build Tutorial

The CannonKeys Practice65 is a super affordable 65% DIY mechanical keyboard kit. It comes with a PCB and top/bottom plate so all you need is switches, stabilizers, and keycaps. Full on board QMK, LED backlight optional, and the board fits the Stacked65 case. I would argue it's among the best beginner builds available! Like I say in the video, one area I would love to see CannonKeys improve with this set is providing a standalone case option on their website (even plastic) for beginners to port their Practice65 build to a more permanent and protective environment. 0:00 Intro 2:30 PCB testing 3:39 Stab test fitting 6:18 Install/solder switches 9:58 Install keycaps 10:20 Thoughts/feedback for CanonKeys 11:54 Sound Test 12:38 Conclusion When flashing your keyboard, Left Shift + Right Shift + B puts your keyboard in flashing mode.
