Gingham (Through hole custom keyboard kit beginners build guide)

Gingham is through hole only, bare PCB keyboard kit. Its a great kit to practice soldering as you have to soldering all the components yourself. The thrill of being able to complete the build and get it working properly is more satisfying than being able to get a limited in-stock keyboard like OwLab Jelly epoch. Its seem like I'm really unlucky when it comes to their keyboards, I mean what are the chances of encountering an error on both their keyboard sale (Voice 65 and Jelly Epoch). So I vented out my frustration by building this through hole kit and by the end of build, I'm at peace. :P

Sorry if this video description ended up being a rant, but nobody reads video description nowadays, so if you are reading this, sorry and thank you for reading this far.
