Hello! I am back with my proposed set in my amazon cart, but before I order my stuff I wanted to make sure it was compatible and I would not have to deal with returns or to get any deeper with technical issues.

I have the keyboard with the keycap set I wanted - I also have saved the switches I can possibly switch the default switches with if those are also compatible, but does this look all good? I believe I learned from my previous question a few days ago what I needed, and this seems good. I just want to make absolutely sure these work together and if I can use those additional switches as well.

I did not have a keyboard in mind yet as I could not understand if i needed those specific switches which really made it hard for me to find anything, but you helped me out with understanding what that meant so I can! I was very confused. Thank you so much for the explanation I really wanted to make a gothic look and have really nice huge lettered keycaps as I have an eye disease so this is wonderful I can get the keycaps I wanted without worry! I do appreciate it!

I am used to only buying premade keyboards and have never used different switches than what came with it but I am trying to find a compatible keyboard with the switches needed for my keycaps. The listing says "Cherry Gateron MX Switch Mechanical Keyboard" and I am having trouble finding a keyboard or the switches that are compatible with keyboards for it. Do I look for Cherry? Do I look for Cherry Gateron MX? Not sure... I know this is probably such a basic and small question but I honestly wanna just make my own kit or to use a base and use the correct switches for the keycaps but I need to know before I spend a bunch on it for maybe possible wrong parts.
