[SOLVED] ? need to know about YMDK Wings Kit & build advice

[DREDKNOT_2077]

with this YMDK Wings Kit do i need to do any Soldering im i reading it this right

https://ymdkey.com/products/ymdk-wi...de-navy-cream-switches?variant=39301297864765

or this one

https://ymdkey.com/products/gbymdk-...hotswap-v1-pcb-diy-kit?variant=39348940832829

if i am can i still open it up to add some vibration dampening pads

an if i go with the keycaps off this board

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MGGGMPV/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_6?psc=1

an use them on the ymdk wings would i still get the space gap between the keys this is important to me

my planned build is the ymdk with plus the keycaps off the 2088-Black

with a full set of KAILH BOX DARK YELLOW SWITCHES an GLORIOUS O-RING SWITCH DAMPENERS 40a soft

either thin or thick not sure which would be best

an to top off build was going to give a custom paint job by adding a spray painted white pattern not sue what id go with yet.

any advice on initial ask an any on planed paint scheme will be welcomed

note i like a heavier trigger

an my reason for wanting the low profile caps off that

board

is iv got on my current pc build a drop swift with

kailh heavy box ancient greys an on the num pad the box dark yellows

with these caps - Retro Steampunk Keycaps Set

i like the gap spacing an the round shape but for ymdk id like square ones

but cant find a good stand alone set other then the one on the mentioned

2088-Black an i was just trying to confirm the 2088-Black caps on the

ymdk wings board would still have the gap spacing ?

That kit will come with switches soldered on, you will however need to provide a keycap set for the build and you won't have LED's on it, just the switches. If you want a hotswap option, look at this;

The soldered version and the hotswap versions will allow you to remove the frame(both top and bottom) after undoing some screws so you can do your artwork on the frame itself though I'd prefer the hotswap kit so you can work with switches of your choosing, on the fly as opposed to dealing with a permanently soldered on option, which often times is a pain to desolder and resolder.
