## The base (TG3):
You can either use a tg3 as the base for this, or use your own parts. The advantages of using the tg3 are price and sturdy-ness. With a tg3, you can get Cherry blacks, uniform dcs keycaps, a steel mounting plate, and an aluminum back plate, all for $15-25. If you were to buy the absolute cheapest keycap set ($6-8), the cheapest switches ($5 for 50), an fr4 or aluminum plate (~$10-15), and use a scrap of something for the back plate, it'd cost a bit more, and you'd be dealing with low quality parts. Granted, it takes some work to desolder and mod the tg3.
