Make no mistake, this product really is what it claims to be. It feels like a premium product, for what is only half the cost of other similar kits, like the KBD67 or the TADA68. This is a good buy, and I am very happy with my purchase! Review: Great Entry Level 65% Kit - This is a great board for a first time builder, and a great board to try out the 65% layout. The only problem I had was trying to install Screw-in stabilizers, as they were causing interference with the plate. I reluctantly installed the plate-mount stabilizers that were bundled in the kit and was extremely surprised by how nice they were with a little bit of thick grease. That being said, do not try to use PCB mounted stabilizers, they will likely not work unless there are some plates that have been modified to solve this problem, or you are willing to grind down the plate yourself. Highly recommend this board to a first time builder. You could easily build up this board for under $100 if you choose to use inexpensive switches and key caps (both of which YMDK sells). ## Features - Package Included: Aluminum Case + Plate + QMK PCB (Upgrade to Type C Port) + Costar Stabilizers needed + Rubber Feet,You only need to prepare switches and keycaps and cable to get a fully working keyboard - The assembled keyboard in the photo are gray options for your reference - PCB is presoldered with diodes and resistors,you can solder switches or leds.The soldering point is gold pad. - PCB is QMK firmware which is fully programmable,the costar stabilizers is little raised design.If you don't know how install costar stabilizers,just inquire us or search on reddit is ok - All keycap fit Tada68 can fit this DIY Kit,there are many keycaps to choose in our store ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07QN5GHML | | Additional Features | Waterproof | | Brand | YMDK | | Built-In Media | Keycap Puller | | Button Quantity | 68 | | Color | Silver case plate | | Compatible Devices | keyboard | | Connectivity Technology | Mini USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.5 out of 5 stars 12 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Aluminum, Polybutylene Terephthalate, Rubber | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Item Weight | 0.2 Kilograms | | Keyboard Description | USB | | Keyboard Layout | QWERTY | | Manufacturer | WPL | | Mechanical Keyboard Switch Model | Cherry MX or Gateron | | Model Name | YM-68-SL | | Number of Keys | 68 | | Power Source | USB Powered | | Special Feature | Waterproof | | Switch Type | Mechanical | | UPC | 745302082759 | ## Images ![YMDK Fully Programmable 68 CNC Aluminum Case Plate Type C PCB Stabilizers Mechanical Keyboard DIY Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bvh6lIEUL.jpg) ![YMDK Fully Programmable 68 CNC Aluminum Case Plate Type C PCB Stabilizers Mechanical Keyboard DIY Kit - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cjb3FHoFL.jpg) ![YMDK Fully Programmable 68 CNC Aluminum Case Plate Type C PCB Stabilizers Mechanical Keyboard DIY Kit - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713Lp3jDRCL.jpg) ![YMDK Fully Programmable 68 CNC Aluminum Case Plate Type C PCB Stabilizers Mechanical Keyboard DIY Kit - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XdBrHCx+L.jpg) ![YMDK Fully Programmable 68 CNC Aluminum Case Plate Type C PCB Stabilizers Mechanical Keyboard DIY Kit - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Vwnp4K3oL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A surprisingly good kit *by R***N on May 12, 2019* When I saw that this was an aluminum case keyboard kit for only $79, I was a little dubious. Make no mistake, this product really is what it claims to be. It feels like a premium product, for what is only half the cost of other similar kits, like the KBD67 or the TADA68. This is a good buy, and I am very happy with my purchase! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Entry Level 65% Kit *by C***R on December 17, 2020* This is a great board for a first time builder, and a great board to try out the 65% layout.

I will update my review once this issue is resolved. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/147967977-ymdk-fully-programmable-68-cnc-aluminum-case-plate-type-c](https://www.desertcart.be/products/147967977-ymdk-fully-programmable-68-cnc-aluminum-case-plate-type-c) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
