OK, I have to confess I probably simply skipped this project when it was posted originally - based on the title.
Razer?! What does it have to do with custom keyboards? As it turns out: a lot!
It is regularly asked if membrane keyboards can be turned into mechanical ones. And the answer is usually: yes, but it requires a lot of work and isn't worth the hassle.
From now on, cosmin_c's project can be a reference for such situations.
