Bauer Lite

I've been looking at this keeb for a while and finally decided to buy it, especially with the release of the design lab. It's very easy and fun to design your own personal version of the Bauer Lite. It's a good entry level keyboard, although it may be a bit difficult to assemble for someone who is new to custom keyboards. Overall, I would recommend this keyboard for someone who wants to get into custom keyboards and those who are on a budget.

I love the new design lab, such a cool way to make a keyboard your own

Truly lovely!

Any switch sounds amazing in these boards. Good board at a good value!

This is by far one of the best keyboards I’ve ever used. Paired it with Gateron Smoothies and GMK DMG for an amazing sound and feel. Will be buying another one for sure.

This is my favorite keyboard, and I have a lotta' keyboards.

This was a very goood keyboard kit, I love this board, will buy again highly recommended!

Built up my Seafoam with the classics: Alpaca switches, lubed and filmed, Alpaca themed stabs, and GMK Modo Light. Looks good, Sounds good. Looking forward to upgrading to an Alu plate, and maybe a weight if those come back in stock. Might go with a different color base or top, too. It's a very fun keyboard. Straightforward to assemble, great quality. I'll go into specifics on the things that were troublesome during assembly and prevent me from giving a full 5/5:
1) Taco Bumpers slipped easily during assembly. After 3 assembly attempts, I still have one that is askew, and another fell off completely and is just sitting at the bottom of the case.
2) 2 of the Donut bumpers kept falling off when inverting the assembly, so I had to get creative trying to get the two halves fitted together... a little awkward when the top is supposed to tilt and snap into place. Managed to get it to work, though.

I'm a DIYer, so it's not too bad. I've built more tricky keyboards before, without good instructions. I'm just a little surprised the rubber pieces have such a loose fit. That's really the only reason the build was tricky - trying to keep the bumpers from all falling out.

Lightweight and fun to assemble! The colors are so unique and fun to pair with different sets. Grabbed an IRL Edition off eBay and loved it so much that I've since grabbed Atomic, Rouge and Seafoam as well! Eyeing up Cosmo next and hoping that someday we get a bright green like the old Donkey Kong N64!

I was an absolute novice but really wanted a Keyboard to match the Atomic Purple keycaps I found. While sharing with folks on Reddit I was introduced to the Bauer Lite and took the leap. For me it was like building Legos as a child!
